Afternoon all
Just been out to a local vicarage and they have honey bees in their roof. The property is two storey, i guess built around 70's/80s and well maintained. Its currently empty and we got up in the loft for a look around and there was no sign of any bees dead or alive in the loft so it looks like they are in under the fascia board and living in between the soffit and the tiles in the eves. They are going in from the outside at more of less the highest point of the roof so if being tackled from the outside a temp scaffold would be required.
He has asked me to give him a rough idea of how much it would cost to remove them so that he can put it to the parish tonight so they can make a decision about what they want to do.
I am not going to even attempt to do it but said i would see if i could find out a guestimate price and maybe a recommendation of someone reliable.
I dont really know how someone would go about getting rid; maybe spray something in the hole they are getting in, seal it up and hope they are gone?
Can anyone advise a rough cost and suggest anyone local to Horsham in West Sussex?
Thanks
