Grey squirrels turn up in city roof spaces more often than most people expect. We find the way in, deal with the squirrels and advise on closing the gap.
Nottingham has a great deal of Victorian terracing and older commercial buildings, and old roofs have plenty of places a squirrel can exploit: a slipped tile, a loose fascia, a gap where a chimney meets the slates. Once inside, a grey squirrel may nest in the insulation and chew whatever is in reach. In a terrace the noise can carry through party walls, so a neighbour often hears it before you do.
Our first job is a survey of the roof and loft to see where the animals are entering and how active they are. We then deal with the problem lawfully and advise on proofing. Appointments can be arranged to suit you, including same day visits, and the free pest prevention survey is part of the service rather than an extra.
Not always. Squirrels are usually active by day, mostly around dawn and dusk, while rats and mice tend to be heard at night. A survey of the loft and roofline is the reliable way to tell which animal you have.
A terraced roof is one long run of tiles, soffits and ridge lines, and a single weak point can be enough. Proofing has to be done carefully so it does not trap an animal inside.
Yes. They can chew timber, insulation and cables, and cable damage can be a fire risk.
