How Are Grey Squirrels Removed From Loft Spaces in Cambourne?

Most people have never had squirrel work done and reasonably want to know what they are booking. Here is the whole of it.

Visit One: Survey and Set Up

1. We talk to you first — what you have heard, when, and where. Times of day matter more than anything else you can tell us.
2. The roof space is inspected: what is present, whether it is current, whether there is a drey and whether young are likely.
3. The roofline and the exterior are surveyed, including the routes on to the roof.
4. The damage is recorded, particularly anything involving cable.
5. The programme is positioned on the routes the animal is actually using, which the evidence maps.
6. You are told what happens next and roughly how long it is likely to take.

The Return Visits

This is the part that distinguishes squirrel work from a treatment, and it is where the cost is. Traps have to be checked — that is a requirement of doing this properly and humanely rather than an optional refinement — so somebody attends repeatedly until the job is finished.

• Checked and reset as needed
• Repositioned if the evidence says the animal is using a different route
• New evidence looked for each time — fresh droppings, fresh damage, changes at the entry point
• You get told where it stands at each stage rather than at the end

Confirming the Roof Space Is Clear

The job does not finish when the noise stops. Quiet is a stage, not an outcome, and an animal that is out foraging is a quiet roof space. Confirmation means no fresh evidence over a period, checked rather than assumed.

Then Proofing

The openings get closed in metal — mesh or plate, fixed at every edge, keeping ventilation where the gap is there by design. Priced separately by time, so it is your choice whether we do it or your own roofer does.

And the route up gets dealt with: the branch, the ivy, the fence run. That is frequently the cheapest and most effective item of the lot, and it is one you can do yourself.
