Bird & Nest Removal in Lockerbie

Bird & Nest Removal in Lockerbie

Lockerbie 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. Lockerbie is an Annandale market town in Dumfries and Galloway, roughly 25 miles across the border from Carlisle. Our cross-border coverage extends to Lockerbie and the surrounding rural properties — chimneys, stove servicing, and lead work are the most common requests we receive from this part of Dumfriesshire.
