A house sparrow is a little brown bird that makes a lot of cheeping noises as it enters the roof area via a gap between the roof tiles and the gutter. There are downsides to consider when looking into this option, however. Firstly, it won’t just stop birds from nesting on or around your property but may stop them coming anywhere near it for more than a minute or so. This can prove problematic not only for birdlife, but also for you and your garden. Birds are very important to any ecosystem, so their absence will certainly be felt in your garden. A number of these sound deterrents also emit noises that would certainly prove annoying to any human that hears them too, so keeping them near the ground or at a higher volume may cause you irritation down the line. Decoy Birds Untreated metals will also be prone to rusting and will lose effectiveness over the years. That’s something thing to keep in mind. Birds building their nests among your roof tiles on between the eaves of your roof can cause no end of damage. How to stop birds nesting in the roof is a common question asked by home-owners. Roofing tiles can fall off, break or shift in high winds and rain, leaving small nooks and crannies for a bird to nest in. Bird stoppers for roof tiles can prevent birds nesting in the roof when the tiles have moved and left openings.

Once installed, this mesh gutter guard is a capable protector against anything from larger insects to leaves. Like LeafTek, it also has the benefit of making sure you don’t get any birds using your gutters for nesting which consequently makes cleaning them a nightmare. The materials used to manufacture your chosen gutter guard will go a long way in determining its durability. Aluminium that has been heat treated will avoid rusting and can last you many years whereas plastic is a cheap material that can be prone to UV damage so that’s something to bear in mind. You won't be able to get them to wander about within your roof since their legs are so short. Constantly kept safe and secure, the nest should not be disturbed. It is these larger birds that tend to be messier, and can leave twigs, feathers and excrement all over your roof as they make their home there. They can also be rather loud (especially gulls) and, in their search for food or materials for their nests, can be destructive, both towards your roof and beyond. What Sort of Damage Can Birds Do to a Roof? Whilst not quite as easy as gutter brushes to install, amateur DIYers shouldn’t have too many issues with this micro mesh gutter guard. At 6″ in width, it’s easily attachable to almost all UK gutters and comes with 10 handy clips that work well by securing the mesh guard into place.

We should note however that if your roof tiles hang over your guttering too far, the method of simply rolling this guard into place will be severely hampered and thus we would recommend using a gutter brush or LeafTek instead. These decoy birds are usually extremely affordable and can simply be placed on or around your roof – just make sure they are as visible as possible from the air by placing them in open areas, so birds are more likely to see them. These decoy birds can come in all shapes and sizes, and there are even ‘kite’ variants (not to be confused with the red kite bird, though they can often be modelled after them!) that can be tied to a pole a left to fly in the wind, creating the illusion of kite patrolling the area for prey. It's not uncommon for birds to cause damage to a roof in various ways, including traveling through or nesting beneath your roof tiles. In addition to causing immediate harm to the property, this might have long-term consequences. Bird Droppings Whether they’re just passing by or making a nest under your roof tiles, there are a number of ways in which birds can damage a roof. This includes immediate effects as well as potential long-term damage to the home. Bird Droppings

Keep out birds and small vermin from entering the roof space

When trying to deter any bird from your roof tiles, creating an alternative bird home for them in your garden can protect your roof but still encourage them to visit your garden. By catching fallen tiles and slates, safety is increased. The risk of injury and damage is lesser than before and can bring you peace of mind during seasons where weather conditions are prone to wind. Features & Benefits: Samac Fixings Snow Guard for Slates and Tiles - 2000mm The eaves are the part of the roof which overhangs over the side of the building between the roof and the exterior wall. The areas underneath the eaves are left unprotected and provide a welcoming shelter and space for birds to build their nests. An Eave guard removes the space between the wall and the roof, removing any opportunity for the birds to nest. Bird Spikes: Of course, replacing tiles won’t stop birds from returning to your roof, though it will certainly ensure that the potential for major damage to your roof is decreased massively. The birds could still nest on top of your roof or within the guttering however, which means you may still be required to clean up whatever mess they leave once the nesting season is over and they have left the nest permanently.
