Can Squirrels Damage Roofs and Electrical Wiring in Cambridge?
Yes. A squirrel in a roof is not just a noise problem. Here is what they damage, how to spot it and who deals with each part.
Squirrel Trapping in Cambridge — £280 fixed cost. See the Squirrel Control Cambridge page →
What Squirrels Damage
- Insulation. They tear it up to nest, and compressed or torn insulation stops performing.
- Timber. They gnaw rafters, battens and boards, and chew at the roofline to get in.
- Soffits, fascias and tiles. Entry points are often widened by chewing.
- Cables and pipes. Gnawed cable is a safety concern, because exposed conductors can be a fire risk.
Warning Signs
- Torn insulation and shredded nesting material.
- Gnaw marks on timber or around the roofline.
- Flickering lights or electrical faults, which can have other causes but are worth checking.
- Droppings and stored food.
Why Electrical Damage Matters
If cable has been gnawed, it should be checked by an electrician and repaired rather than left. We cannot do electrical work, but we will tell you what we find so you know to get it checked.
Who Deals With What
- The animal: trapping, which is us.
- Proofing: priced separately by time.
- Roof repairs: a roofer.
- Insulation: an insulation contractor.
- Cable: an electrician.
Deal With It Early
The longer a squirrel is in the roof, the more it can damage. Getting the animal trapped and the roofline checked sooner usually limits the repair list.
Squirrel trapping in Cambridge is a £280 fixed cost. See Squirrel Control Cambridge.
Common Questions
Do squirrels really chew electrical cable?
They can. If you suspect it, have an electrician check it.
Is squirrel damage covered by insurance?
That depends on your policy and insurer. Check with them.
Do you repair the damage?
We deal with the animal. Roof, insulation and electrical repairs belong to other trades, and we will tell you what we find.
Can I just replace the insulation?
Not until the squirrel has been dealt with, or it will be torn up again.
