BIRD NEST / BLOCKAGE REMOVAL

Chimneys are popular places for birds to either nest/get stuck in.

With nests, it’s usually built by jackdaws and, once they’ve decided they want to set up home in your chimney, it won’t be long before they’ll block the flue.

Nests are protected by law and cannot usually be removed during the nesting season. As such, it’s our policy not to remove live nests – or nests which are capable of being active – between 1st March until 31st August
