Also to assess the access requirements, removal requirements, reinstatement works and and materials required.
Access installation
1/2 - 1 day
Access required is erected before the removal is planned.
Asbestos Survey
1 - 2 hours
Asbestos survey if required if your property was built before the year 2000
Removal of building fabric
To access the colony the surrounding building materials are removed, either outside or inside the property.
1/2 - 1 day
Live honeybee colony and comb removal
1/2 - 2 days
Removal of the honeybee colony using a bee vacuum, remove all honey comb (which is protected) to avoid attracting any other bees/wasps etc. The colony is then transported to their new hive location.
Reinstatement works
1/2 - 2days
Rebuild the area that the colony has been removed from, which also includes bee proofing, chimney cowlings are fitted, void spaces are filled and/or blocked, so that another colony doesn't take up residency once we are gone.
Clean up and quality check on work completed.
