Visible activity
Heavy scurrying or thumping during daylight.
PROFESSIONAL · DISCREET · RESPONSIVE
Grey squirrels in a roof can damage insulation, stored belongings and electrical wiring. We confirm how the loft is being used, plan lawful control and advise on durable roof proofing.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
Grey squirrels are strong enough to enlarge weak roof gaps and can create extensive nesting material in quiet lofts. Daytime thumping is typical, although identification should be based on several signs.
Broken soffits, slipped tiles, open eaves and gaps beside extensions provide access. Nearby trees and climbing plants can make a vulnerable roof easy to reach, while linked terraces may allow movement between voids.

SIGNS TO CHECK
The location, age and pattern of these signs are more useful than one isolated sighting.
Heavy scurrying or thumping during daylight.
Large nests of leaves and shredded insulation.
Gnawed timbers, boxes or electrical cables.
Droppings concentrated around loft routes.
Daylight visible through a damaged roof edge.
Repeated activity near one section of guttering.

INSPECTION & TREATMENT
We begin with what has been seen, when it occurs and how the affected space is used. The technician then follows the evidence to likely harbourage, access and contributing conditions. This avoids treating only the most visible symptom while leaving the source untouched.
The recommended programme uses a detailed loft survey, lawful control measures and safe follow-up before proofing. Equipment and products are selected for the setting, with clear guidance for residents, pets, staff and customers. Where follow-up is required, we explain its purpose and the evidence used to judge progress.
HOW IT WORKS
Tell us what you found, where it occurred and whether the pattern is changing.
We identify the source, explain the options and confirm the quotation before work.
The work is completed with proportionate aftercare, monitoring and prevention advice.
CLEAR PRICING
Every property and level of activity is different. The quotation confirms the proposed method, likely visits, preparation and any separate proofing or access requirements.
Published starting prices are a guide. No work begins without your approval.
PREVENTION
Repair the confirmed entry point using materials that resist gnawing, cut back practical launch routes and maintain soffits, vents and tiles. Do not seal a squirrel inside the roof; proofing follows confirmation that activity has ended.
Prevention works best when it responds to evidence from the property. We prioritise the few repairs or housekeeping changes most likely to make a difference, rather than handing you a generic checklist. If building management or a neighbouring unit needs to be involved, we explain why.

RELATED SERVICES
COMMON QUESTIONS
Clear answers before you book. Call if the circumstances at your property are unusual.
We assess the physical evidence, its distribution and the conditions around it. Photographs may help initially, but an on-site inspection is recommended where identification or the extent of activity remains uncertain.
The plan reflects the pest or damage, property use, access, safety and likely source. For this service, the core approach is a detailed loft survey, lawful control measures and safe follow-up before proofing. We explain the recommendation before work starts.
We select methods for the setting and provide clear preparation, exclusion and re-entry instructions. Tell us about children, pets, allergies or vulnerable occupants when booking.
Some situations can be resolved in one appointment; others require monitoring or follow-up. The quotation sets out the expected programme and what progress should look like.
Avoid disturbing important evidence or applying household pesticides. Make the affected area safely accessible and follow any service-specific preparation sent with your booking.
Yes. We attend offices, shops, managed buildings, hospitality and other workplaces, planning access and documentation around the operation where possible.
No responsible company can promise that pests will never return. We address current activity and identify practical changes that reduce the opportunity for recurrence.
The final price reflects access, affected area, evidence, treatment method and visits required. You receive a clear quotation before work begins; no additional work is carried out without approval.
