Bird & Nest Removal in Appleby-in-Westmorland

Bird & Nest Removal in Appleby-in-Westmorland

Appleby-in-Westmorland customers looking for bird & nest removal turn to Sweep It Cumbria. Birds — particularly jackdaws — build nests in unused chimneys during spring and early summer. A jackdaw nest can completely block a flue and, if left, prevents any safe use of the fire or appliance below: lighting a fire in a blocked flue risks carbon monoxide backing up into the property. We remove nests using purpose-made tools, clearing the full flue length of compacted nesting material. Where birds are still actively nesting with eggs or chicks present, we advise on the appropriate timing to comply with UK wildlife protection legislation — active nests cannot legally be disturbed. After nest removal we check for any remaining blockage and recommend fitting a correctly sized cowl or bird guard to prevent re-nesting the following season. Appleby-in-Westmorland is the former county town of Westmorland, famous for its annual Horse Fair and its long main street of Georgian and Victorian properties running down to the River Eden. Many of the town's period buildings retain original fireplace configurations — wide hearths and multi-flue stacks — that we sweep and inspect.
