Bird & Nest Removal in Canonbie

Bird & Nest Removal in Canonbie

Canonbie 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. Canonbie sits on the River Esk in Eskdale just across the Scottish border — a quiet Dumfriesshire village where solid-fuel heating in older stone cottages remains the norm. The Esk valley here sees cold winters and high rainfall, making annual sweeping and appliance servicing a practical necessity for most households.
