In Radford's dense terraced streets, one damaged tile can let a squirrel into the loft. We trace the entry point, deal with the animals and help stop a return.
Radford is a district of close-packed Victorian terraces, built in the days of the lace and textile trade. These houses often share a continuous roof line, so a squirrel that finds one gap may travel along the eaves to the next. Residents tend to notice running and thumping above the bedrooms in the early morning, sometimes followed by a few chewed bits of timber or cable showing up near the loft hatch.
Because the roofs are old, wear around the eaves and chimneys is normal and gives squirrels a way in. We inspect from the loft and from outside, work out which access points are in use and then carry out treatment lawfully. You also get free advice with the treatment on repairs and proofing, which is worth acting on if you want the problem not to return.
They can. Where roof lines run together, a squirrel may use more than one entry point along the eaves. That is why the whole roofline should be surveyed, not only the section above the noise.
After. Sealing a hole too early can trap a squirrel in the loft, which is cruel and makes damage worse. We advise on the right order so proofing is done at the correct time.
Yes. They can chew timber, insulation and cables, and cable damage can be a fire risk.
