From Mapperley Park villas to later semis, squirrels exploit worn eaves and chimney details. We survey, treat the problem and advise on proofing.
Mapperley covers a lot of ground, from the Victorian villas of Mapperley Park to inter-war and post-war housing further out. Villas bring tall roofs and chimneys, while later semis have simple pitched roofs with soffit vents and fascias. On a hilltop suburb exposed to wind, the wear on roof edges can be noticeable and this is where squirrels often start. Leaves and moss blocking gutters can add to the damage.
We inspect the roof, chimneys and loft, work out the entry points and carry out treatment lawfully. You will then know which repairs to prioritise. We can arrange appointments to suit you, including same day visits, and there is no call-out charge. A free prevention survey is part of the visit, and Mapperley is within Gedling borough, which we cover routinely.
Clear gutters help protect timber from rot, and rotten timber is easier for squirrels to enlarge. It is part of general roof upkeep rather than a cure by itself.
Not always. Villas offer more roof and chimney detail to exploit, while semis have simpler roofs with vents and soffits. Condition matters more than style, so we survey each property.
Yes. They can chew timber, insulation and cables, and cable damage can be a fire risk.
