Stone terraces and big old mill buildings are both squirrel-friendly in Heckmondwike. We locate the access, remove the animals humanely and make the roof secure.
Heckmondwike's carpet-making and textile past is still visible in its stone terraces and mill buildings. Terrace roofs there are usually uniform and old, with the same weak details repeated house after house. Mill buildings are bigger, with timber roof structures and high eaves that are difficult to see. Squirrels like both, since timber is easy to gnaw and sheltered spaces allow nests to be built unnoticed.
Where a row of terraces shares a roof line, a squirrel can move between lofts, so noise in one house may come from a neighbour's entry point. We take that into account and suggest that neighbours check their roofs too. Removal is by lawful, humane means. We then remove soiled insulation, fit chew-resistant proofing and examine any wiring. Cost depends on how many visits and how much proofing, not on a standard formula.
Terraced lofts can be connected, with squirrels passing under shared roof lines or through small gaps between properties. That is why a neighbour's entry point can cause trouble for you. We look at the whole terrace line and can advise on co-ordinating checks.
We clear it, because droppings and urine can linger and the scent may draw animals back. Soiled insulation is usually bagged and removed, though a decision to replace it is yours. Always wear gloves and a mask if you handle it yourself.
