Excellent climbers
Trees, fences and drainpipes can create a route towards a roof. Trimming or access changes need to respect the property and safe working limits.

Squirrel concerns and roof-entry assessment in London
A practical, humane starting point for repeated roofline activity and possible entry routes.
SHOW THE ROUTE, NOT JUST THE SQUIRREL
A roof-access plan starts with the exact entry point.
A squirrel in a garden is not proof that it is entering the roof. We look for repeated access around the eaves, branches or gaps, and explain what can be checked safely from the ground.
Do not seal an opening while an animal may still be inside. We will explain the appropriate next step for the activity and access route.
A FEW SQUIRREL FACTS
A practical view of a familiar animal.
Daytime activity
Sounds in daylight can be a clue, but they do not identify an animal by themselves.
Entry holes need context
An opening needs checking in relation to the animal, the roof and the risk of trapping it inside before any exclusion work is agreed.
