Mature trees around Wollaton's leafy streets make roofs easy for squirrels to reach. We find where they are getting in, treat and advise on proofing.
Wollaton is known for Wollaton Hall and its deer park, and the surrounding suburb has inter-war semis and larger detached homes set among mature trees. For a grey squirrel that is close to ideal: plenty of cover, tall trees and big roofs with deep lofts. Larger houses can have several roof sections, with extensions and dormers, and any join between them can open up over time. A squirrel may use an entry point far from where you hear noise.
Our survey follows the whole roofline, including less obvious corners, as well as the loft. We then carry out treatment lawfully and advise on proofing. Because many properties here have several roof sections, repairs sometimes need a roofer rather than a quick patch, and we say so plainly. Free pest prevention advice is given with all treatments.
Because there may be several roof sections, valleys and joins to check. The noise you hear may be far from the actual gap. We inspect the whole roof, not just the section above the noise.
Not necessarily. Trees give access, but squirrels still need a way in. Cutting back branches and fixing weak points reduces the chance, although we cannot promise a roof will never be visited.
Yes. They can chew timber, insulation and cables, and cable damage can be a fire risk.

Large gardens and mature trees are lovely, but they bring wildlife closer to the house. This checklist is aimed at the roofs, sheds and gardens of leafy-suburb homes.
Read the advice →The vet treatment worked on the dog, yet the bites continued. In a carpeted semi, most of the flea population is not on the animal at all but in the house.
