The Importance of Professional Installation
While DIY enthusiasts may see the fitting of bird guard cowls as well within their wheelhouse, working at height carries obvious risks; not to mention the possibility of damaging your chimney and roof, or fitting bird guard cowls incorrectly so they simply don’t work as intended. This is why we’d recommend you defer to Swept Away Installations. We’ll make sure there’s no vulnerabilities to be exploited by birds or squirrels, a bonus critter they’ll also deter!
Another reason why we’d urge residents of Battle, Bexhill-on-Sea, Brighton, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Hastings and Hove not to take a stab at the fitting of bird guard cowls themselves, is that improper fitting could lead to issues around carbon monoxide build-up within the home, which as we all know can have disastrous consequences. For all these reasons, proper sizing and fitting is simply a no brainer! But if it’s too late for prevention, and you already have a nest sitting in your chimney, refer to our bird nest removal page.
