Had mice, rats or birds in the loft? We’ll clean up and seal it.

Once the visitors have gone, the droppings and chewed insulation stay. We clear it, close the gaps they used and leave the loft clean and insulated.

About this service

We find and seal the gaps animals use to get in, remove insulation they’ve soiled or nested in, clean the loft and lay fresh insulation. If they’re still there, a pest controller should deal with them first.

What’s included

  • A check for entry points at eaves, soffits and pipes
  • Gaps sealed with mesh and suitable fillers
  • Soiled insulation bagged and taken away
  • Droppings cleared and the loft cleaned
  • New insulation laid between and over the joists
  • Damaged cables pointed out

We price the job after looking at your loft. You get a written quotation before any work is agreed.

What they leave behind

Mice and rats tunnel through insulation and leave droppings and urine; birds nest in the eaves. The insulation stops working and the loft smells. Laying more over the top keeps the mess in place.

Close the way in first

New insulation won’t stay clean if the gap is still open. We look along the eaves, soffits and where pipes and cables come through, and seal them with mesh and the right fillers.

Then a clean start

The spoiled insulation comes out bagged, the floor is cleaned, and new insulation goes down. If we see chewed cables, we’ll tell you so an electrician can check them.

Loft pest-proofing: your questions answered

Do you get rid of the animals?
No. If they’re still active, a pest controller should deal with them first. We then seal the gaps and clean up.
Can you tell if they’re still there?
Fresh droppings, noise at night and new damage are signs they are. We’ll tell you what we see.
Is it safe to go in the loft?
Droppings can carry germs, so avoid disturbing them. We wear the right protection to clear them.
Will birds come back?
Not through the gaps we’ve sealed. We fit mesh that lets the roof ventilate but keeps birds out.
Is the work guaranteed?
Eligible installations come with a guarantee of up to 5 years. Your written quote says whether your job qualifies and what it covers.
