Squirrel Control in Newham: what we see locally
West Ham Park, Wanstead Flats, Central Park and the City of London Cemetery 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 Gate, Manor Park and East Ham. They chew cables, insulation and timber, so it's important to act quickly. We trap and remove them in line with the law.
Newham's terraces often have shared roof spaces, so a squirrel that gets into one loft can move along several houses. Noises are usually heard early in the morning and late in the afternoon.
