Open countryside close to the edge of town gives squirrels a short trip to your roof in South Kirkby. We survey, remove them humanely and proof the entry.
A former mining town, South Kirkby is mostly terraces and post-war estates, with open countryside never far away. That closeness means squirrels have cover and food nearby and only need an opening to move into a warm loft. Terraced rows share a pattern of eaves and chimney details, while estate roofs have vents and fascia joints, all of which we check from ladder height before going indoors.
A quiet roof space is attractive in autumn and winter, when animals look for shelter, though nesting can also happen in spring and summer when young are born. So we ask when the noise began and whether it has changed. That guides the timing and method of removal. We work humanely and lawfully, remove the nest and fit durable proofing. Fully insured and trained technicians do the job, and our quotes are free.
No. Winter drives them to seek warmth, but they can nest and breed at other times of year too. Whenever you hear regular daytime movement overhead, it is worth a survey rather than waiting for a seasonal change.
A properly proofed roof should not be reopened easily. If squirrels do return, call us and we will check whether a new gap has appeared or the repair has failed. Most repeat problems come from a missed or fresh opening.
