A chimney is warm, dry and high up. It feels safe to a nesting bird. It feels safe to a squirrel or a raccoon looking for shelter.
The trouble starts when the nest blocks the flue. Smoke cannot get out. Carbon monoxide cannot get out. A fire in a blocked flue is a real danger.
Never seal animals inside. That is cruel and it makes things worse. A sealed nest rots and blocks the flue for good.
Animals out safely first. Then we stop them coming back.
We remove birds, squirrels and raccoons without harming them. We work around nesting seasons where the law requires care.
We clear nests, twigs and debris from the flue. We vacuum what falls into the firebox.
We check the flue, cap and crown for damage from nesting. We show you what we find.
We fit a cap with a screen. The screen lets smoke out and keeps animals out. That is the long term fix.
Time depends on the animal and the nest. We tell you before we start.
Tell us what you hear or see. Scratching. Chirping. Debris falling. Birds on the chimney top.
We check what is inside and where it sits. We judge the safest way to remove it.
We take animals out safely. We clear the nest and debris from the flue.
We fit a cap so they cannot return. We check that the flue draws right again.
Every job is priced after inspection. No two nests cost the same.
Cost depends on the animal, the nest size and the cap needed. A simple bird nest costs less. A raccoon family with damage costs more.
