The right order

Establish what is there — and whether anything is inside right now
Deal with the activity, which is the £280 visit
Confirm the roof is clear before anything is closed
Then proof the entry, at £180
Then put the roof space back — insulation, stored items, any electrical checks

Why sealing first goes wrong

Close a live entry with an animal inside and you have not solved anything — you have removed its exit. What follows is a squirrel that gnaws considerably harder than it was gnawing before, working on whatever is nearest, which is often the ceiling below or the cabling beside it.

At worst the animal cannot get out at all, which is an unpleasant problem in a confined space above a bedroom and a far more expensive one to resolve than the original.

The gap between the two visits

There is usually a short window between the control work and the proofing, and it is deliberate. It allows time to be confident the roof space is clear before it is closed — which is precisely the confidence that sealing on day one does not give you.

If you take one thing from this page: the hole is closed last, not first. Everything else about proofing — the material, the fixing, the cost — is secondary to getting that sequence right.

Signs to Look For

Signs that the order has already gone wrong at a property:

Fresh foam or filler at a roof edge with new gnawing beside it
Noise that became suddenly more frantic after a repair
Scratching concentrated at one point rather than moving about
Activity that stopped and then restarted a few feet away
A patched gap with a new one opened next to it

Squirrel Control for Mildenhall Properties

Mildenhall has a good deal of housing where roofs have been maintained in stages over the years, and part-completed proofing is a recurring find — one bay meshed, the next left open, or a verge repaired while the soffit was not.

Partial work is worth knowing about because it changes where the activity goes rather than whether it happens. Squirrels move along the roof edge to the next available opening.

After the Squirrel Problem Has Been Controlled

Once the sequence has been followed through, the roof space is both clear and closed, and that combination is what makes the result hold.

Putting the loft back is the last step rather than the first. Replacing insulation before the entry is closed simply provides fresh bedding for whatever comes next.
