A possum or a family of rats can leave a surprising amount of mess in a roof. Droppings pile up in corners, urine soaks into insulation and ceiling boards, and nesting material builds up near the edges of the cavity. Over time this causes smells, stains on the ceiling below and a musty air that can drift into rooms. For homes in St Lucia that have just had animals removed, a cleanup is often the next step.
The crew we book goes into the roof cavity wearing masks and gloves, collects the droppings and nesting material, and bags any insulation that is too soiled to keep. They then treat the area to cut down on odour and bacteria. They will tell you if the ceiling boards themselves are badly stained, as those may need a plasterer.

- Soiled insulation removed where needed
- Treatment of stained timber and boards
- Odour treatment for the affected area
- Photos before and after the cleanup
It makes sense to clean up only after the animals are out and the entry points are sealed. Otherwise the mess simply builds up again. If you are not sure whether the roof is empty, the crew can check first.
We give you upfront pricing based on how big the affected area is and whether insulation needs to come out. If the crew finds more than expected once they are in the roof, they will tell you and confirm the price before they carry on. You will also get advice on replacing insulation if you need it.
