If you have never dealt with a squirrel problem before, it helps to know what actually happens once you book an inspection. Professional squirrel control in Caversham follows a clear, methodical process rather than a single quick fix, because getting it right means addressing the whole roof space, not just the noise you can hear.
Here is how the process typically runs from first contact through to a proofed, squirrel-free roof.
Step one - inspection and assessment
A technician inspects the loft or roof space from the inside where accessible, along with the exterior roofline, soffits, fascias and any nearby trees. This identifies the scale of activity, whether a nest is present, what damage has occurred, and every entry point being used - not just the most obvious one.
Step two - removal
Based on what the survey finds, an appropriate and lawful method is used to clear squirrels from the roof space. The exact approach depends on the level of activity, the property layout, and the time of year, particularly if young are present. This stage may involve more than one visit depending on how established the population is.
Step three - confirming the roof space is clear
- Checking for continued activity or fresh droppings and damage
- Reviewing entry points to confirm no animals remain inside
- Assessing the extent of any repair work needed to insulation, timber or wiring
Step four - proofing
Once the roof space is confirmed clear, entry points are sealed using durable materials such as steel mesh and proper soffit or fascia repairs, so the same route cannot be reused by squirrels investigating the property in future - whether the original occupants or a new group. This process is designed to solve the problem properly rather than just moving it along temporarily.
