If you have heard scratching in the roof space above your Caversham home, cost is probably the first question on your mind. It is a fair question, but grey squirrel control is not something that suits a single flat price. What you pay depends on your specific property and the scale of the problem, which is why we always start with a proper assessment rather than a number over the phone.
Caversham's mix of older detached houses near the river, semis around Gosbrook Road and Church Road, and newer developments further out means roof spaces vary enormously in size, construction and accessibility - all of which affect how a job is priced.
What factors affect the price of squirrel removal
- Size and layout of the loft or roof space, including how many separate roof voids need checking
- Ease of access - a simple pitched roof over a semi is quicker to treat than a complex roofline with dormers or extensions
- Level of activity - one squirrel passing through is very different from an established, breeding population
- Number of entry points that need to be found and dealt with
- How many visits are needed to fully clear the roof space
- Whether proofing work (mesh, soffit and fascia repairs) is needed afterwards to stop squirrels getting back in
Why we do not publish a fixed price
Any company quoting a fixed squirrel removal price before seeing your loft is guessing. A property with two easily-found entry points and light activity is a very different job from one with squirrels established for months, chewed timbers, and access only via a steep roof. Quoting blind risks either overcharging straightforward jobs or underquoting complex ones and then having to add costs later - neither is fair to you.
What is included in a typical visit
- A full inspection of the loft or roof space and the exterior roofline
- Identification of entry points, droppings, nesting material and damage
- A clear explanation of what is happening and what is needed to resolve it
- A written quotation based on what we actually find, not a guess
