Having a bird deterrent is the best way to protect your roof from these creatures and the havoc they cause. Guttering also serves as a water source for birds. To prevent your drainage system from overflowing, leaking or water infiltrating your roof area, you should remove any bird nests from your property. Fire There are a variety of techniques to protect your roof against nesting birds, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. If a seagull has already been using the area it may be heavily soiled with seagull droppings. If this is the case please see our "How to safely clean bird droppings guide" guide for more in-depth cleaning advice.

They find their porches, paths, gardens and conservatories often covered in bird excrement. Other issues can arise too. Such as tiles becoming dislodged and damage to the roofline. During nesting season birds will seek out an area they deem safe, secure, and warm to create their home. Depending on the species of birds the requirements differ. Gutter guards can be very easy to install, especially if they’re highly compatible with your current guttering. Gutter brushes for example can just slot right in (clips to hold them in place are optional) with minimum fuss and effort. Mesh guards are a little bit more difficult to install but nothing a seasoned DIYer can’t take care of. Sound deterrents are a popular form of nesting prevention. They are small devices that can be installed on or around your roof, and often emit a high-pitched noise that proves very irritating to birds, to the point that they will refuse to nest in the vicinity of the sound. This has proven to be a highly effective way of stopping birds from coming near your property.
To help out, we’ve created this handy guide to help you prevent birds from wandering under roof tiles. Including tips on what bird repellents to use in specific settings. Before disposing of a nest, the species it belongs to must first be identified, and then their breeding season needs to be found out. Nests can only be removed outside of the bird’s nesting season, so if you know which bird it is and it is still their nesting season, the nest needs to be left alone. There are multiple guides to bird nesting seasons all around the web, with the RSPB in particular proving an invaluable source to anyone looking for advice regarding birds.
