Professional Squirrel Control in Abbey Wood
Lesnes Abbey Woods is ancient woodland sitting directly against residential streets, and Bostall Woods does the same on the other side. Where a mature branch reaches a roofline, a loft becomes available - and from that point the law decides how the job is done.
Woodland One Side, Rooflines the Other
Squirrels travel along branches, fences, cables and neighbouring roofs rather than climbing walls, so the properties that get them are the ones with something reaching the roof. Around Lesnes and Bostall that is a lot of them, and the Bostall Estate terraces of 1900 to 1930 have rooflines with a century of weather behind their timber detailing.
Daytime noise is the single most useful thing you can tell us. Heavy movement in a loft in the middle of the afternoon points strongly at a squirrel, because they are active in daylight and rats are not.
Cable gnawing is why this is not just a noise problem. Squirrels gnaw constantly and damaged cable insulation in a loft is a genuine fire risk. Where we find it we will suggest an electrician looks at it rather than simply reporting it.

The full explanation of how this service is priced, and what is included, is on the Squirrel Control Greenwich page.
Signs You May Need Squirrel Control in Abbey Wood
The full list is on the Squirrel Control Greenwich page.
- Noise with real weight to it. Thumping, rolling, dragging, and sometimes the sound of something being carried across the ceiling.
- Damage at the roofline. Lifted tiles, chewed soffit or fascia board, a gap at the verge, or an opening where the roof meets a neighbouring property.
- Activity along fences, cables and overhanging branches. That is the road in.
How We Deal With Squirrels in Abbey Wood
A trapping programme runs over a series of visits with traps sited on the runs the animals are using and checked on the required schedule. The entry point is closed once the loft is confirmed clear, never before.

Coming soonFrequently Asked Questions – Squirrel Control Abbey Wood
Can you release it back into Lesnes Abbey Woods?
No. The grey squirrel is a non-native invasive species and it is an offence to release one back into the wild or allow it to escape. Any company offering to relocate your squirrel is not describing something it can lawfully do.
How much does squirrel control cost in Abbey Wood?
£280 trapping service - the same published figure everywhere we cover.
How do I know whether I have grey squirrels?
Heavy movement in a loft during daylight, torn-up insulation gathered near the eaves, gnawed cabling, and damage at the roofline such as a lifted tile or a chewed soffit.
Do you help landlords and rental properties?
Yes. With the amount of movement across Thamesmead and the estates we take a great many landlord, agent and managing organisation enquiries, including work between tenancies.
Can businesses arrange treatment?
Yes. Local shops, food premises and commercial units in Abbey Wood and Thamesmead are all served.
How do I arrange a visit?
Call us and say whether you are in a house on one of the estates or a flat in a block - that answer changes what we look at first. For squirrels, the time of day you hear the activity matters more than anything else, along with whether trees or cables reach your roof.
