Dead Animal Removal in Brighton
Brighton's big houses have big roof spaces, and that's where a dead possum or rat can hide for days before anyone pins down the smell. Sea air tends to move it around the house, too.
We trace the source, remove the animal, disinfect, treat the odour and seal the way in. Fill in the form and we'll get back to you, usually the same day.

Dead Animal Removal Services Available in Brighton
Most Brighton jobs come down to the size of the house. More roof sections and more wall cavities mean more places to check before we find the animal.
Once it's out, we clean the area, treat the smell where it has soaked in and seal the gap so the problem doesn't come back next season.
Dead Possum RemovalPossums from Brighton's established gardens get into roofs through gaps under ridge capping, around old chimneys and at extension joins. We remove the carcass, clear the nest and seal the entry once the roof is clear of live animals.View details →
Dead Rat RemovalIn Brighton's older homes, rats often die in cellars, under timber floors or inside double brick walls. We find them, remove them and treat the area to stop flies and smell spreading.View details →
Dead Bird RemovalPigeons, mynas and the occasional gull end up in chimneys, box gutters and roof vents near the bay. We lift them out, clean the nesting material and fit covers where needed.View details →
Dead Animal in Roof and Wall RemovalLarge, multi-section roofs and cavity walls in Brighton homes can hide a carcass far from any manhole. We work through ceilings, subfloors or a small access cut that we close up afterwards.View details →

How We Run Dead Animal Removal in Brighton
We start by mapping where the smell is strongest, then search the roof, walls and subfloor until we find the source.
Large multi-section roofs
Brighton mansions and big villas often have roof spaces divided by hips, valleys and later extensions, with no single path through.
How we help: We check each section methodically and use additional access points where needed, keeping any openings small and tidy.
Finished interiors in renovated homes
Many Brighton homes have expensive finishes, cornices and joinery that owners don't want touched.
How we help: We use existing manholes and subfloor access first, protect floors and furniture, and only open a ceiling or wall when there's no other way.
Cellars and deep subfloors
Older homes near the beach and around Middle Brighton can have cellars or deep subfloors that are dark, tight or partly blocked.
How we help: We go in with lighting and protective gear, find the carcass and bag it out, then treat the space before we leave.

Getting Around Brighton: Landmarks We Use
Brighton runs a long way along the bay, so we use a few familiar spots to find our way to each address.
Dendy Street Beach bathing boxes
The row of colourful bathing boxes is a familiar sight on the Brighton foreshore. Homes in the streets behind the beach often have possums coming in from the foreshore trees.
Middle Brighton Pier
The pier and the yacht club beside it sit at the foot of Bay Street and Church Street. It's a handy marker for homes in the older bayside pocket.

Possums and rats end up in roofs and under floors, and sometimes they die there.↗02ElwoodElwood packs a lot of old flats and bungalows into flat, leafy streets between the canal and the beach. When a possum or rat dies in a shared roof or under a floor, the smell can reach several households at once.↗03Middle ParkMiddle Park's terraces sit shoulder to shoulder, and so do their roof spaces. A possum that dies behind a parapet or a rat under the floor can leave a smell that drifts into the house next door.↗
Brighton Dead Animal Removal FAQ
FAQs About Dead Animal Removal in Brighton
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
It depends on the location of the animal and how easy it is to reach. A large multi-section roof or a cellar takes more work than a carcass beside a manhole. We quote before any work starts.
Mainly possums, rats and birds. We also handle other animals that die in roofs, walls, chimneys or under floors, and clean up any nests or droppings.
It depends on your policy, so check with your insurer. We can describe the work in writing, including where the animal was and what we cleaned or sealed.
Usually the same day. We work 24/7, so if the smell is bad or you have guests arriving, send your details through the form and let us know it's urgent.
Yes. We use existing manholes, roof hatches and subfloor access wherever we can and protect floors and furnishings while we work. If we need to cut into a ceiling, we keep it small and tell you first.
