£280, and here is exactly what happens across the visits — including why the proofing quote comes last rather than first.
Inspection, trap placement, repeated checking visits, removal, then a proofing survey — £280 in total.
Proofing is quoted after trapping, because sealing the roof while an animal is still inside creates a carcass in a void and a far more expensive job.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Inspection | Loft, roof void, eaves and external roofline. Confirm squirrel rather than rat or bird |
| Trap placement | Traps set on the runs, away from insulation the animal has nested in |
| Checking visits | Repeated over the programme; traps are never left unattended for long |
| Removal | What is caught is removed from the property |
| Confirmation | Activity confirmed as stopped before proofing is recommended |
| Proofing survey | Every entry point identified and written up, with a separate quote |
£280 for the trapping programme, including the proofing survey.
View Squirrel Control Rayners Lane →More than once we have been called to a smell in a bedroom ceiling that started with somebody nailing a board over the hole in good faith.
The inspection is meant to establish that before anything is set, so nothing is left behind.
If you can safely reach it, simple work yes. Do it after trapping, not before.
Trapping clears what is there. Whether they return depends on the proofing, which is why the survey is included.

£280, including the inspection, trap placement, checking visits, removal and a proofing survey.
Because sealing the roof while an animal is still inside leaves a carcass in the void, which brings flies, odour and often carpet beetles months later.
Squirrel poisoning is tightly restricted and not appropriate in a domestic loft. Trapping is targeted, confirms what you had, and confirms when it is over.
Most often a rotten or split fascia, a gap where the soffit meets the wall, displaced tiles, a failed verge, lifted flashing, or where a rear extension meets the original roofline.
Do not block any hole until trapping is complete, do not put down poison, and do not go into the loft alone at night.
Stainless mesh correctly fixed, rot repaired rather than covered, ventilation left intact, and a check on whether the void is open to next door.
Report it in writing immediately. Gnawed cabling is a safety issue, and roof access and proofing are the landlord's.
Trapping clears what is there. Whether they return depends on the proofing, which is why the survey is included.
£280 including the proofing survey. Trap first, proof second — in that order, always.
