Skipton is a gateway to the Dales, with older stone buildings and plenty of green around. Squirrels in your roof need removing humanely and keeping out.
The Craven market town of Skipton has its castle, a canal basin on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and a good deal of older stone property, with later housing beyond. Being a gateway to the Dales, it has countryside close to the edges of town, so wildlife reaches homes quickly. We look at the whole setting: the roof, the boundaries and any trees or buildings that make a bridge.
Stone cottages and terraces suit squirrels, with small roof voids that stay warm and quiet. We find these jobs need patient inspection, since nests may be tucked into awkward corners. We use lawful, humane methods, clear the nest and fit proofing that suits stone and slate. If wiring or pipework has been gnawed we say so. A free quote follows our survey, with the price depending on the property and the work involved.
We work in Skipton and surrounding Yorkshire towns from our Leeds base. Travel time can affect how soon we arrive, so call 0113 347 0014 or message us on WhatsApp with your location and we will say what is possible.
Grey squirrels are the species that nest in lofts and cause damage. Red squirrels are legally protected, and if you believe you have seen one, tell us before any work, because the approach would change. We will check what we are dealing with at the survey.
