Old and listed buildings, narrow streets and riverside homes all hold wasp nests in York. We treat them at a fixed price with no hidden costs, at £90.
Historic property is full of the dry cavities that wasps like, from deep roof spaces to timber-framed gaps. In York, many buildings are old or listed, and that means we take extra care over how and where we work. Narrow streets add practical difficulties, since a ladder may have to be set in a tight yard or an alley with limited room.
Riverside property along the Ouse and Foss sees more activity from foragers in late summer, but the nest itself is usually in the building or its outbuildings. If your property is listed, tell us at the start, because the owner may need to consider any work to fabric. The service is at a fixed price, no hidden costs, with the nest treatment priced at £90.
Treating a nest does not normally alter the fabric, but any repair work might, so check with your conservation officer or council if you plan to fill or alter gaps afterwards.
Often, yes. Tell us the width, the height of the building and where the wasps are entering. We will decide whether a ladder, a pole or a loft approach will work before arriving.
