Squirrel control in London
Grey squirrels chew cables, soak insulation and gnaw structural timber — a loft infestation is a genuine fire and insurance risk. Under UK law grey squirrels cannot be released once caught, so control must be handled correctly. We trap the animals, then proof the roofline so the next one can't take the same route in.
In short
How squirrels treatment works
Squirrel control means trapping the animals in the loft under UK legal requirements, then proofing every roofline access point — soffit gaps, loose tiles, fascia joints and overhanging branches. Traps are checked regularly and proofing is completed once activity has stopped.
Covered by a written guarantee — if the treated pest returns inside the cover period, we come back and re-treat free of charge.
Signs to look for
Do you have a problem?
- Heavy daytime scampering in the loft, usually early morning and dusk
- Chewed cables, pipework or roof timbers
- Shredded loft insulation gathered into a drey
- Damaged soffits, fascias or lifted roof tiles at the eaves
- Squirrels running the roofline or jumping from overhanging branches

Squirrels FAQ
What customers ask before booking
Can you relocate the squirrels instead?+
No. It is illegal in the UK to release a captured grey squirrel. We handle control humanely and lawfully.
How long does squirrel removal take?+
Typically one to two weeks, as traps must be monitored, followed by a proofing visit.
Will they come back?+
Not if the roofline is proofed. Proofing is included — trapping alone always leads to reoccupation.
Is loft damage covered by insurance?+
Often yes. We supply a written damage report you can submit with a claim.
