How Squirrels Get Into Hounslow Lofts
Riverside trees at Isleworth
Isleworth's older streets sit close to the Thames, with mature trees along the water's edge that put branches within easy reach of nearby rooflines. Squirrels use that route to find damaged fascia or a loose roof tile before settling into a loft.
Mature planting near Osterley Park
The interwar semis around Osterley back onto or sit close to Osterley Park's established parkland trees, giving squirrels a similarly easy jump from garden or park canopy onto the roof of a nearby house.
Signs to Look For
- Scratching, running or gnawing sounds in the loft, especially early morning and dusk
- Chewed timber, insulation or cabling in the loft space
- A visible entry point — damaged fascia, soffit or roof tiles
- Squirrels seen repeatedly entering the roofline from a nearby tree or fence
