Roof spaces give bees shelter, warmth and room to build, so they are a favourite spot around Hamilton. Bees often get in through gaps under roof sheets, lifted ridge caps, broken tiles, gaps at the end of gutters or the join between the eaves and the wall. Some colonies build in the roof cavity itself, while others settle in the eaves or between rafters.
Roof jobs need the right ladders and a crew that is comfortable working at height. When you call, we ask if the home is single or two storey, whether the roof is tin or tile and where you see the bees coming and going. That lets us give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew with the right gear.
At the visit, the crew checks the roof from outside and, where possible, from the manhole inside. They find the nest and explain the options that suit the bees and the roof. They also tell you whether any tiles, sheets or eave lining need to be lifted or cut. Once the work is done, they point out the gaps the bees used so you can have them closed up.

Please stay off the roof and keep the manhole closed while you wait. If you notice honey dripping or damp patches on the ceiling, mention it when you book. A photo of the roof line taken from the ground also helps. Roof bee removal in Hamilton is booked by calling 07 3543 7772.
