Older terraces and later housing close to Colwick give squirrels different ways in. We survey the roof, deal with them and explain what needs repairing.
Netherfield, in Gedling borough east of Nottingham, has a railway history, older terraces and later housing close to Colwick. The older terraces have the usual weaknesses: weathered eaves, slipped slates and old chimney flashings. Later houses may only need a failed vent cover for a squirrel to get in. Hearing a heavy, bouncing sound in the morning rather than a light patter is typical of a squirrel as opposed to a mouse.
Our approach is to survey the loft and roof edges, identify the entry points and carry out treatment lawfully. We then talk you through the repairs. As we are a BPCA member, the work follows recognised industry practice. A free pest prevention survey and free advice come with all treatments, and there is no call-out charge.
Squirrels are larger and more often heard by day, with heavier thumps and scrabbling. Mice make lighter scratching, usually at night. Droppings and gnawing damage also differ, and a survey will confirm which you have.
They can, particularly near chimneys, ridges and eaves where a squirrel can get a purchase. A roofer should fix the slates once we have dealt with the animals.
Yes. They can chew timber, insulation and cables, and cable damage can be a fire risk.
