Sheffield's hills put roofs at odd levels, with trees and walls close by. When a squirrel gets into a Victorian terrace or a student house, we find how and stop it.
Built across hills and river valleys on the edge of the Peak District, Sheffield offers squirrels a wealth of routes. Steeply rising streets bring gardens, walls and trees up to roof height, and Victorian terraces give them old eaves and chimney bases to work at. We take on jobs in the city as part of our wider Yorkshire coverage, and our approach starts outside, at the ground-to-roof link that makes entry possible.
Large student housing areas mean houses with several tenants and landlords who may not live nearby, so reports of noise can stall. A plain-English survey summary helps everyone agree on the next step. City-centre apartments are another case, with shared roof voids and managing agents to consult. In all cases the work is lawful and humane, with nests cleared and openings proofed. Sheffield City Council tenants should report issues to the council first.
Yes. We can survey with your permission and give a written summary of what we find, including photos where possible, for you to send to the landlord or agent. Proofing usually needs the owner's agreement, so sharing the findings early saves time.
We do. Our base is Leeds and West Yorkshire, but we also work in surrounding Yorkshire towns and cities, Sheffield among them. Call or message on WhatsApp with your location and we will confirm how soon a visit is possible.
