One price, several visits, and a clear line about where our job ends and a roofer's and tree surgeon's begin.
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, tree work, insulation replacement or electrical repair. We find the route; others close it.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Visit 1 | Inspection of the loft and external elevations, including the roofline and surrounding trees. Identification. Entry points 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. |
| Final | Confirmation, and written proofing advice for a roofer and tree surgeon. |
The number of visits is driven by the animal, not the invoice. £280 covers the programme however many that takes.
Specific to this area, and it is the part that stops it recurring.
If the access is from a neighbour's tree, that is a conversation to have — and our written account is what makes it concrete.

We do not carry out work at roof height or in trees. Saying so upfront is more useful than discovering it halfway through.
The right order is trap, confirm clear, then close — and cut the branch back whenever suits, because that part does not trap anything inside.
Worth flagging in this area, where mature trees are common and often protected.
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.
That document is what you hand to a roofer, a tree surgeon, a neighbour or an insurer.
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 and the branch was not cut back, it will. That is the argument for doing both promptly.
We find wasp nests in lofts constantly — treatment is £90 fixed in Stanmore, guaranteed for 30 days.
Inspection of the loft, elevations and surrounding trees, trap placement, repeat monitoring visits, humane dispatch, removal, and written proofing advice.
Yes. Which branches reach the roof, how close the nearest jumping-off point is, and whether the access comes from a neighbour's tree.
No. Roof-level work is a roofer's job and cutting back branches is a tree surgeon's.
Only once the loft is confirmed clear. Tree work can be done at any point, subject to nesting-bird season and any tree preservation order.
Works to a protected tree need consent from Harrow Council, including cutting back branches. A tree surgeon will check. Pruning for access is commonly approved.
That is a conversation to have, and our written account of what we found is what makes it concrete.
Sealing a mother out leaves dependent kits inside. Tell us when the noise started.
Yes — what was found, where the entry points are, which branches provide access, and what needs closing.
£280, however many visits it takes. Written advice for your roofer and tree surgeon at the end.
