About this service

We find the gaps at the eaves, around pipes and under tiles that let animals in, close them with mesh and sealant, and clear out insulation that’s been nested in or soiled.

What’s included

  • Entry points found and closed with mesh
  • Soiled or nested insulation taken out
  • The loft floor cleaned
  • New insulation laid
  • Airflow kept clear while gaps are sealed
  • A written quote first

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

Proofing, not pest control

We don’t trap or treat animals; if you still have visitors, a pest controller should deal with them first. What we do is make sure they can’t get back in, and put the loft right afterwards.

Sealing without blocking the air

The tricky part is closing gaps at the eaves without closing off the ventilation the roof needs. Fine steel mesh lets air through but keeps mice and birds out.

A fresh start up there

Insulation that animals have lived in shouldn’t stay. We bag it, clean the loft floor and lay new insulation, so it’s clean as well as warm.

The process

How it works

  1. Tell us about your home

    Your postcode, the kind of house and what you’d like done. It takes about a minute and costs nothing.

  2. We talk it through

    We get in touch, explain the options in plain words and, where the job needs it, come and look at the loft.

  3. Your quote, in writing

    You get a written quote with the work, the material and the price. Take your time over it.

  4. Only if you’re happy

    There’s no obligation. If you go ahead, we agree a day that suits you and do the work.

Loft pest-proofing: your questions answered

Do you remove the animals?
No. Please have a pest controller deal with any animals first; we then proof the loft and replace the insulation.
Will sealing the gaps stop the loft breathing?
No. We use mesh at the eaves so air still moves through.
Do I need new insulation?
If it has been nested in or soiled, yes. Clean, undisturbed insulation can stay.
Can you do it on the same visit?
Usually, yes: seal, clear and re-insulate in one go.
