Newer homes in Lindhurst can still develop gaps at vents and eaves. If squirrels have found one, we trace it, deal with them and advise on proofing.
Lindhurst is a newer residential development in the Mansfield area, mostly recently built homes. New roofs are tight, but not immune. Squirrels look for small defects: an eaves vent cover that has not seated, a gap at a verge or a poorly sealed soffit. Young gardens have fewer big trees, though fencing, garages and neighbouring mature trees can give access. Homeowners sometimes assume a new house cannot have this problem, and wait too long before checking.
We survey the loft and roofline, find the access point and carry out treatment lawfully. We then advise on closing the gap. If the home is under a build warranty or the developer is responsible for a defect, ask them as well, since we cannot advise on that. Fixed cost pricing applies, and a free prevention survey is included.
Yes, if there is a small gap. Vents, soffits and verges are the usual weak spots, even on a recent roof. It is worth checking if you hear noise overhead.
If the gap looks like a construction defect, it is reasonable to ask the developer or warranty provider. We can describe what we find, but we cannot advise on warranty terms.
Yes. They can chew timber, insulation and cables, and cable damage can be a fire risk.

Newly built does not mean moth-free. The holes in a cashmere scarf are made by tiny larvae, and they can arrive in a box from an older home you moved from.
Read the advice →New homes feel sealed, but small gaps round pipes, garage doors and loft hatches still let pests in. A short checklist done twice a year catches most of them.
