Todmorden is a border town where three valleys meet, with stone terraces and old mills stacked around them. Squirrels get in, and we get them out.
Sitting on the Lancashire border, Todmorden lies where three valleys meet, and the buildings follow the land: terraces stepped up the slopes, former mills along the flat ground, and canal and riverside property between. That variety means no single pattern. A mill might have a vast roof with ledges and gaps, while a terrace has a single weak spot around the chimney or eaves. The survey sorts out which applies.
We ask a few questions before climbing. When is the noise heard? Is it heavy, bounding steps or light scratching? Has anything been seen on the roof or in the garden? Answers help us tell squirrels from other animals before we begin. Then we inspect, remove animals humanely, clear their nests and proof the openings. We explain what we are doing, and a quote for homes is free, with no call-out charges.
Rats and mice, which are heard mostly at night; birds nesting under eaves; and pigeons in larger buildings. Squirrels tend to be heavy, daytime movers. A survey of droppings and entry marks can tell them apart, and we will say if it turns out to be something else.
Squirrels can breed more than once in a year, and damage to wiring and insulation builds over time. Waiting also gives the animals time to enlarge the hole. A short survey now usually costs less effort than major repairs later.

Grey squirrels are easy to recognise outdoors but harder to pin down when you only hear them overhead. This guide covers the clues that tell you it is a squirrel.
Read the advice →Removing squirrels is more than catching them. Entry points must be found and sealed, and the law covers what can be done. Here is the usual order of work.
Read the advice →Squirrel work is priced by the job, not by a standard fee. These are the things that make a quote larger or smaller, and why a survey comes first.
Read the advice →Squirrels in a roof are more than a noise problem. They chew cables and timber, foul insulation and can cause lasting damage. Here is what to look for.
Read the advice →Squirrels get in through small weak points and come back if they are left open. These steps reduce the chance of them settling in your roof.
Read the advice →Squirrel problems are easy to get wrong at home. This guide explains where DIY has a place, where it does not and how to pick a contractor.
