Smells from the roof are one of the most common reasons people call us. A possum that has lived in the ceiling for a few months leaves urine soaked into timber and insulation. Rats leave droppings and nesting material. A dead animal can leave a stain long after it has been taken out. In the warm, humid weather St Lucia gets through summer, those smells can drift down through cornices, light fittings and air vents into the rooms below.
Roof odour treatment deals with what is left behind. The crew we book first finds the source of the smell and makes sure nothing is still living or rotting up there. They then remove soiled material and treat the affected timber, boards and insulation to break down the odour.

Odour treatment works well once the animals are out and the entry points are sealed. If the source is still there, the smell will come back. The crew will tell you honestly if they think more work is needed first, such as removal, sealing or a cleanup of a larger area.
Some smells fade over a few days after treatment as the air clears. If the crew finds that the ceiling boards are badly soaked, they may suggest replacing them, which would be a job for a plasterer. We give you upfront pricing before the visit based on the size of the affected area. To book roof odour treatment in St Lucia, call 07 3543 7768 and we will book a nearby crew.
