Small towns like Tadcaster often have older stone roofs and mature planting side by side. When squirrels move in, we find the weak spot and close it.
Tadcaster is a small North Yorkshire town on the River Wharfe with a long brewing heritage, older stone property and later housing. Compact towns mean roofs close together and gardens that run into each other, and squirrels can travel along fences and walls without touching the ground. Stone buildings suffer from loose pointing and settled slates, so a survey that covers eaves, verges and chimney bases is where we begin.
Inside, we expect the usual story: scattered droppings, torn insulation and a nest in a sheltered corner. We also check whether any wires have been gnawed, as those need an electrician. The removal is lawful and humane. Closing the entry is the step that prevents repeats, so we fit proofing that suits the stone and slate. Commercial service contracts are available for local businesses, and we offer free surveys for homes.
It is better not to. Damage can grow, a nest can be established and young may be born. Wiring is a particular concern. If you cannot arrange a visit quickly, keep the loft closed and avoid disturbing it, then call 0113 347 0014.
Yes. Roof voids, outbuildings and storage areas on commercial premises can all attract squirrels. We survey around your opening times and report in plain terms. Commercial service contracts are available if regular inspections would suit you.
