Row after row of post-war housing, plus older terraces, makes Hemsworth easy going for squirrels. We find the gap on your roof and see it closed.
Hemsworth is a former mining town whose housing is mainly older terraces and extensive post-war estates. Estate houses were built in numbers, to a few designs, and the same details recur: a vent here, a fascia joint there. A squirrel that has learnt one house's weak point may be repeating the trick next door. A quick walk along the street from the pavement can show matching signs, such as worn edges or dark staining.
Inside the loft, post-war roofs are often simple spaces, so a nest is easier to see and reach than in a Victorian roof. That makes clearance quick, though proofing is where care is needed. We remove the animals humanely, take out nesting debris and check the wiring. Same-day appointments are available, we do not charge call-out fees, and you get a free quote once we know what the roof needs.
Estate houses offer warm, quiet roof spaces with easy-to-reach insulation, and a repeated design means the same weak points on many roofs. Squirrels are opportunistic; whichever house offers the easiest way in is the one they tend to use.
There are some risks. Droppings and nest material can carry bacteria, and chewed wiring is a fire concern. Avoid handling material without gloves and a mask, and keep children and pets out of the loft. A survey lets us assess what has been affected.

Read the walk-through →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.
