Farmland on the doorstep and post-war estates in the street: South Elmsall puts squirrels and roofs close together. We close that gap for good.
South Elmsall is a former mining town of terraces and post-war estates, with farmland nearby. Homes at the edge of town are where open ground meets roofs, and animals move between the two easily. Hedgerows and field boundaries provide cover and a way in. We find that a roof beside open land needs a closer look than one in the middle of a street, because the approach may not be obvious from the front.
We examine the rear and sides first. Many roof entries here are at the back, where a fence, shed or hedge gives access. Inside we check the nest, the insulation and the wiring. The work is lawful and humane. Afterwards we proof the openings and advise on removing easy approaches, where practical. Our quotes are free, and the cost depends on the property, the extent and the number of visits.
It may help if they touch the roof, but hedges can shelter nesting birds, which are protected, so avoid heavy cutting in the breeding season. Proofing the roof is the dependable answer. We can advise on what is sensible at the survey.
Not necessarily. They are often out feeding and return later. We rely on signs such as droppings, gnawing, nests and entry marks. Sometimes a camera or a few days' observation helps, but a well-run survey usually finds enough to plan the work.
