Older houses and surrounding farmland make Southwell a place where squirrels use roofs. We survey, treat and advise on proofing.
Southwell is a small minster town in Newark and Sherwood district, famous for Southwell Minster and the Bramley apple, with older property and farmland around. Orchards and mature gardens mean good food and cover for squirrels, and old roofs mean plenty of ways in. Fallen fruit in autumn can bring squirrels close to houses, so the season matters. If you hear a squirrel in autumn, it may be building a store or nest rather than just passing through.
We survey the loft, roof edges and outbuildings, find the access points and carry out treatment lawfully. We also look at attractions in the garden that bring squirrels near the house. Advice on proofing is free with treatment. If the building is old or sensitive, repair work may need specialist advice. Visits can be arranged to suit you.

Squirrels are active in autumn as they feed and look for shelter. Roof gaps can be used then, so a check before winter is sensible, although they can enter at any time.
Yes. They can chew timber, insulation and cables, and cable damage can be a fire risk.
