How Can You Stop Squirrels Returning to Your Cambridge Roof?
Trapping removes the animal. Proofing stops the next one. Here is how to make the roof a harder target, and what is who's job.

Trap First, Then Proof
Entry points should only be sealed once the roof space is confirmed clear. Sealing too early traps an animal inside, where it will chew its way out and do more damage.
What Proofing Involves
- Closing gaps at the eaves, soffits and fascias with suitable materials.
- Fitting mesh over vents and openings that squirrels can chew or squeeze through.
- Securing loose tiles, boards and verges.
- Protecting pipe and cable entries.
Materials Matter
Squirrels chew. Expanding foam, soft sealant and thin plastic do not stop them for long. Metal mesh and durable repairs do.
Remove the Route to the Roof
- Cut back branches that touch the roof.
- Take ivy off the walls.
- Move bins and stores away from the building.
- Check fences and sheds that give a step up.
Who Does What
- Trapping: £280 fixed cost.
- Proofing: priced separately by time.
- Roof repairs: a roofer, for example repointing a verge, rebedding ridge tiles or replacing rotten soffits.
- Insulation and cable: insulation contractor and electrician.
Keep Checking
After storms or building work, look at the roofline for new gaps. A small defect left alone can become an entry point.
See our guide to entry points and the Squirrel Control Cambridge page.
Common Questions
Does proofing guarantee squirrels will not return?
No, but it makes the roof a much harder target. We will say what we find and recommend.
Is proofing included in the £280?
No. It is priced separately by time.
Can I use spray or deterrents?
They rarely work for long. Physical proofing is more reliable.
Should I proof before trapping?
No. Trap first, confirm the roof is clear, then proof.
