How do I deal with birds nesting in my roof?

There is no instant solution to getting rid of birds as they are "protected" and action is best focussed on prevention. Our advice is not to encourage birds by leaving out food. Birds will head for a light source, whether this is an open grate in a chimney or opened loft hatch. If there is a problem, allow the young to leave the nest and proof off access points. You can buy material to proof the premises yourself, contact a specialist contractor or a local builder who may be willing to undertake this work.
