Knottingley stands on the Aire and Calder Navigation, with terraces and later housing close to the water. A squirrel in your roof needs prompt, humane handling.
Close to Ferrybridge and sitting on the Aire and Calder Navigation, Knottingley has a glass-making history and a mixture of terraces and later housing. Waterside trees and yards give squirrels cover, and a short run along a fence or wall puts them on the roof. We look first at what links the ground to the eaves, because a lasting repair closes a gap and takes away the easy approach.
In the loft we look for the usual signs: shredded insulation, droppings, hoarded food and chewed cables. A single animal can do a surprising amount, while several can cause serious disruption to insulation. Our work is lawful and humane, and we clear the nest before proofing. Because costs depend on the roof, the extent of the problem and the visits required, we give a quote in writing after the survey.
They can. Finding nuts, seeds or other stores in a loft suggests an animal that has settled rather than one passing through. Stored food also attracts mice, so we clear it as part of the work.
Mostly they stay in roof spaces, but they can follow gaps into cavities and boxed-in areas, including beside water tanks. Noise from inside a wall or ceiling is usually the same animal moving through. Do not cut into plasterwork; let us inspect first.

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
