Retford's older town property and later housing both offer squirrels ways into the roof. We survey, deal with them and advise on proofing.
Retford is a market town in Bassetlaw district on the Chesterfield Canal, with older town-centre property and later housing. Waterside trees and gardens suit squirrels, and older buildings supply the weak spots. A terrace near the centre might have a poorly maintained gutter and eaves, whereas a later house may have an open vent. If you have noticed squirrels crossing your garden, a quick check of the roof edge from the ground can show gnawing or a gap.
We survey the loft and the roof exterior, identify how squirrels are getting in and carry out treatment lawfully and appropriately. Then you get advice on proofing the gaps. The free pest prevention survey is part of the treatment, with fixed pricing and no call-out charge. If you run a business in town, we also provide free commercial surveys.
