If you've heard scratching in the ceiling above your bedroom in Cookham, the first question is usually "what's this going to cost me?" It's a fair question, but squirrel removal isn't a one-price-fits-all job, and any company quoting a fixed figure without seeing your property is guessing. What you actually pay for is the work needed to solve your specific problem: getting the squirrels out, stopping them getting back in, and repairing whatever they've already damaged.
Cookham's mix of period cottages near the High Street, Victorian and Edwardian houses, and newer estates towards Cookham Rise means roof constructions vary enormously street to street. That variation is exactly why we quote after inspecting your specific loft and roof space rather than publishing a flat rate.
The main factors that affect price
- Size and layout of the property, and how much loft space needs to be checked and treated
- Number and location of entry points squirrels are using to get into the roof space
- How easy or difficult access is — a steep or high roof, dormers, or scaffolding needs will affect the work involved
- Level of activity — a single squirrel passing through is a different job to an established family with a nest
- Number of visits required, since squirrel removal is rarely a single call-out
- Whether proofing work is needed afterwards to stop squirrels returning
- Any additional repair work needed to soffits, fascias, or damaged insulation and wiring
Why a phone quote isn't reliable
Two houses on the same Cookham road can need completely different work. One might have a single gap where a fascia board has warped away from the roofline; the next could have squirrels running along overhead cables into an open soffit vent, with a nest already established in the loft insulation. Without seeing the roof space, wiring, and entry points in person, any quote is a rough guess at best.
What a survey covers
When we visit a Cookham property, we check the loft space for signs of activity, droppings, nesting material, and gnaw damage, inspect the exterior for entry points around the roofline, soffits and fascias, and look at any damage to insulation or exposed wiring. That survey is what the quotation is based on, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
