Flat, low-lying country around Selby means roofs stand out and trees stand taller than the houses. Squirrels use both. We find their way in and close it off.
Selby is a market town on the River Ouse, with its abbey, older property in the centre and later estates outside, all set in flat, low-lying country. In flat land, a line of trees or a single tall one can be the squirrels' highway, and roofs are easily reached from them. We look at which trees, fences and outbuildings reach your roof before we examine the gaps themselves.
Older town-centre buildings often have chimneys and parapets where flashings fail, and the estates have the more familiar soffit and fascia weak points. In either case, squirrels leave evidence: droppings, shredded insulation and gnaw marks. Our work is lawful and humane, and after clearing the nest we proof the entry. Cost depends on the roof, what needs sealing and how many visits are needed. We provide a free quote.
Yes. We cover Leeds, West Yorkshire and surrounding Yorkshire towns, and Selby is one of them. Appointments depend on the diary, and we do not promise a set arrival time, but same-day appointments are available when we can manage them.
If you hear heavy movement in daylight, squirrels are more likely. Rats are mostly heard at night and rarely climb as high into modern roof spaces. Mice are lighter still. A survey of droppings and gnaw marks confirms which, and the treatment differs.
