Keighley's mill-town terraces and moorland-edge homes are exposed to weather and wildlife alike. If squirrels are in your loft, we remove them and fix the entry.
Keighley lies in the Aire valley with the Worth Valley railway on one side and moorland on the edges. Mill-town terraces in the valley bottom have the usual long roof lines, while homes toward the moor are more exposed, with wind lifting tiles and loosening ridge pieces. Weathered roofs are easier for a squirrel to get into. Where gardens and edges are near open ground, animals can visit a roof repeatedly before they settle.
We survey from the outside first, because wear caused by weather tells us where animals are likely to have entered. Inside, we look for shredded insulation, hoarded food and cable damage. Removal is humane, followed by proofing with materials that resist chewing. Cost depends on how exposed the roof is, how much repair is needed and the number of visits, and our quote is free, with same-day appointments available.
Usually because the entry point was never sealed, or a new one opened up. An empty loft with a familiar scent and route is attractive. Proofing the weak points is the part that stops a repeat, which is why we treat it as part of the job.
No. Leave it as it is so we can see where the animals have been. If you have stored items up there, a little clear space near the hatch helps. We remove nesting material ourselves, and we can advise whether damaged insulation should be replaced.
