Bird Guard

What do Bird Guards do?

Bird Guards are a black plastic or metal ‘finger comb’ that are designed to go under the tiles to prevent entry into the eaves by unwanted birds, pests and vermin.

Why fit Bird Guards?

Bird Guard in conjunction with Eaves Protection Boards offer an affordable solution to prevent access into your loft to build nests. Other names for this product include 'Eaves Comb Filler’, ‘Bird Guard System’, ‘Birdcomb’. It is designed to neatly fit under the profile of the tile and moulds itself to take the shape of the tile filling the cavity to prevent access.

Bird Guard Sizes

Eaves Protection Boards come in handy 1 meter lengths with predilled holes for ease fo fitting. The height of the comb is 70mm which is generally high enough to fill a tile profile cavity.

Customer Testimony

Without a bird guard system installed in her roof, Dorset customer Sarah suffered for years with birds nesting in her loft. In fact, when she contacted us to replace her old roofline with white UPVC fascias and soffits and anthracite grey UPVC guttering, we ended up removing four bucketloads of birds’ nests from her roof.

As you can see in the video, once we installed the bird guard system on her roof, it was impossible for birds to re-enter her loft. Her main concern was to make her roof bird proof, so this clever system solved all of her problems. She also benefitted from a stunning new roofline which was the envy of her neighbours!
