With older and post-war housing side by side around Stockhill, squirrels can find a way into either kind of roof. We locate the gap, treat and advise on repairs.
Stockhill in north-west Nottingham has a mixture of older and post-war housing, and the way squirrels use each is slightly different. Post-war homes often have tidy gardens and mature trees that give squirrels a route onto the roof. Older houses have weathered timber that is easier to enlarge. Either way, squirrels show up as sounds at the edge of the loft, small piles of debris or a gnawed fascia board at the front or rear.
Our visit begins with a look at the roofline and the loft. We note the gaps, signs of activity and damage to cables, then carry out treatment lawfully. Afterwards we explain which repairs will reduce the risk of the squirrels returning. We can usually arrange visits to suit you, including same day appointments, and you pay a fixed cost.
