Large estates and older terraces make up much of Castleford. For squirrels in the loft, the work is the same: find the gap, clear the animals, shut the gap.
Where the Rivers Aire and Calder meet, Castleford grew around coal and glass, and today its homes are mostly terraces and large estates. Estate roofs are often built to one pattern, so a fault at one house tends to repeat on the next. A squirrel that finds a lifted soffit board on one roof may find the same detail on several. That is worth knowing if you are the third house in a row to hear scratching.
Our visit begins outside, working along the roof edges, then moves into the loft. We check the nest, the amount of damage and the state of cabling. Removal is lawful and humane, and the repair is chew-resistant. If you are in a shared or managed building, we can write a clear summary for the landlord or agent. No call-out charges apply, and we also offer a free survey for homes.
It makes sense if you share a pattern of roofs. Proofing one house can send animals to the next, so co-ordinating helps. Each household decides for itself, and we can look at several roofs in one visit if that is convenient.
We will tell you plainly and say what we think it is, whether rats, mice, birds or something else. Different animals need different methods, so the survey is useful either way. If another service is better suited, we will say so.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
