One price, several visits, and a clear line about where our job ends and a roofer's begins.
The whole trapping programme: inspection, trap placement, repeat monitoring visits, humane dispatch, removal of the animal, and a written account of the entry points with proofing advice.
Not included: roofing work, insulation replacement or electrical repair. We find the hole; a roofer closes it.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Visit 1 | Inspection of the loft and external elevations. Identification. Entry points found and recorded. Traps placed. |
| Visit 2 | Traps checked and reset. Any animal removed. Activity reassessed. |
| Further visits | Repeated until the loft is confirmed clear. Typically one to three weeks in total. |
| Final | Confirmation the loft is clear, and written proofing advice for a roofer. |
The number of visits is driven by the animal, not the invoice. £280 covers the programme however many that takes.
A good proportion of squirrel enquiries turn out to be rats, and a smaller proportion turn out to be nesting birds. Those are entirely different jobs at different prices.

We do not carry out work at roof height. Saying so upfront is more useful than discovering it halfway through.
The right order is trap, confirm clear, then close. Any other order creates a second problem, usually in a ceiling.
Squirrels have two breeding periods, roughly late winter to early spring and midsummer. A drey in a loft in those periods is likely to contain young, which changes both the timing and the approach.
Mention when the noise started — it genuinely helps, and it is the sort of detail people do not think to volunteer.
That document is what you hand to a roofer, a neighbour, an insurer or a managing agent.
Usually one to three weeks from first visit to confirmed clear.
We need loft access. Arrangements can usually be made.
If the entry point was not closed, it will. That is the argument for doing the roofing work promptly.
We find wasp nests in lofts constantly — treatment is £90 fixed in Edgware, guaranteed.
Inspection, trap placement, repeat monitoring visits, humane dispatch, removal, and written proofing advice.
However many it takes — typically one to three weeks from first visit to confirmed clear.
No. Roof-level work is a roofer's job. We identify and describe the entry points in writing.
Only once the loft is confirmed clear. Closing it early traps the animal inside.
In older terraces it often does. Proofing your section alone may not be enough, and a coordinated approach across affected properties resolves it properly.
Sealing a mother out leaves dependent kits inside. Tell us when the noise started so we can allow for it.
We tell you and price it as a rat job. A good proportion of squirrel enquiries are rats.
Yes — what was found, where the entry points are, whether they are on your section or a neighbour's, and what needs closing.
£280, however many visits it takes. Written proofing advice for your roofer at the end.
