Choosing the right bee removal method is crucial. Here are common methods and their drawbacks:
Our ethical live removal addresses the root cause and provides a long-term solution.
The longer a colony remains, the larger and more destructive it becomes. In just one year, honeybees can produce up to 50kg of honeycomb—filling your chimney and spreading through your building. Watch for these signs:
If in doubt, assume a long-term infestation and let our experts apply the correct removal strategy.
Older chimneys (pre-2000) may contain asbestos—a material once prized for heat resistance but now known to pose severe health risks if disturbed. Proper testing and safe handling are essential if your chimney was built before 2000.
For listed buildings, any modifications require careful handling. Listed chimneys often need period-appropriate materials—such as hydraulic lime mortar—and may require permissions from Historic England. We can assist with all necessary approvals.
If you use a log burner, extra caution is needed. Metal flexi pipes with bees usually must be replaced since they cannot be adequately bee‑proofed. Wax buildup in these pipes not only poses a bee risk but also increases chimney fire hazards.
When bees are located above head height, safe access is critical. We erect scaffolding to current TG20 safety standards, ensuring our team works securely and efficiently—saving you repeated costs and minimizing risk.
After removal, preventing recurrence is essential. Residual scents can attract new colonies. We use custom bee‑proofing materials to seal entry points while matching your building’s aesthetics. Our service includes guarantees—if bees return, we remove them at no extra cost.
