Larger detached roofs and older terrace lofts in Horsforth give squirrels plenty of choice. We find the way in, remove them humanely and make the roof secure again.
A big detached house in Horsforth has a big roof, and a big roof has a lot of edge to check: ridge, verges, soffits, fascias and the junctions around dormers or extensions. Squirrels look for the one weak spot among them. The Victorian stone terraces have their own habits, with shared roof lines and old timber that can be gnawed wider once an animal has made a start. We work around the whole roof rather than guessing at a single hole.
Inter-war semis sit somewhere in between, with ordinary lofts but often a gap where an extension meets the original roof. Inside, a nest is typically a ball of shredded insulation and debris, and cables nearby are worth inspecting. Removal depends on whether young are present and on how the animals are using the space, so the plan is agreed after the survey, not before. Proofing follows, so the lofts stay empty.
Yes. If young are present, removing only the adult can leave them to suffer, so the timing and method need care. We check for signs of a nest during the survey and plan around it. Squirrels breed more than once in a year, so do not assume there is a quiet season.
That depends on the property, how many animals there are and how the entry points are arranged. Some jobs are wrapped up quickly, others need follow-up checks before proofing is finished. We give you a free quote after looking at the roof, with no call-out charges to find out.

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
