Squirrels in a Dewsbury loft rarely stay quiet for long. We look for the entry on the roof first, then deal with the animals and repair the gap.
Dewsbury is a market town on the River Calder with a textile-mill heritage, Victorian terraces and its minster. Rooflines vary from long terrace runs to high mill buildings and the occasional large public building. Properties near the river often have trees close by, which squirrels use as cover and as a route onto roofs. We start by working out which route is used, because that tells us where to put the proofing.
In the loft, the usual finds are flattened insulation, droppings in one corner and a nest of shredded material. Wiring needs a careful look, since chewed insulation is not always obvious. Our approach is humane and lawful removal, then the entry gaps are closed using material squirrels cannot chew. Commercial service contracts are available for mill units or offices, and a quote for a home is free.
Potentially. Chewed cable insulation can expose conductors, and while many cases cause no more than a fault, an electrician should check any suspected damage. We point out damage we notice but do not repair wiring ourselves. Acting early reduces the chance of larger problems.
Yes. Offices and workshops can have squirrels in roof voids, plant areas or canopies. We survey, remove the animals and proof the openings. Commercial service contracts are available for regular checks, and we can work around opening hours.
