Pest and Bird's Nest Removal

Pest and Bird's Nest Removal

Birds find chimneys an ideal place to set up home, due to the warmth and shelter chimneys provide. However, having birds or other pests in your chimney can lead to dangerous blockages, chimney fires and infestations.

Under the Wildlife and Country Act, it is an offence to destroy or remove an active nest during the nesting season which usually lasts from March to August. It is necessary to wait until the end of August before checking that the nest is empty and can be removed.

Chimney Cowls

Rooks, Jackdaws and Starlings, often the birds to blame for nests in your chimney, usually try to return year after year to the same nesting site. It is therefore recommended that you have a cowl or bird guard fitted.
