Squirrel Control in Redbridge: what we see locally
Epping Forest, Hainault Forest, Claybury Park, Wanstead Park and Valentines Park support one of east London's largest grey squirrel populations. In autumn and late winter, they look for warm places to nest, and lofts are ideal.
We remove squirrels from lofts across Woodford, Wanstead, South Woodford, Gants Hill and Barkingside. They chew cables, insulation and timber, so it's important to act quickly.
Many Redbridge semis have hipped roofs with timber fascias that soften over time, and squirrels gnaw through these to reach the loft. Noises are usually heard early in the morning and late in the afternoon.
