Squirrel Control in Lewisham: what we see locally
Sydenham Hill Wood, Beckenham Place Park, the Horniman Gardens, Hilly Fields and Lewisham's tree-lined streets support plenty of grey squirrels. In autumn and late winter, they look for warm places to nest, and lofts are ideal.
We remove squirrels from lofts across Forest Hill, Sydenham, Brockley and Lee. They chew cables, insulation and timber, so it's important to act quickly.
Lewisham's terraces often have shared roof spaces and valley gutters, so a squirrel that gets into one loft can move along several houses. Top-floor flat owners usually hear them first, early in the morning.
