Thank you as we have starlings nesting in our tile space where mortar has crumbled and was hoping of trying to organise someone to come out after the first batch has flown

A bird with a tail has broken through into our attic so thank you sooooooo much for posting this extremely helpful and informative video. If you live near Portadown and if willing to help us, I’d pay you to do this for us on our single level cottage 😀
@@macplastering hey, sorry for delay responding, yes, hopefully sorted 🙏🏻😊🙏🏻 a friend came and blocked each tile along the edge with fire retardant expanding foam (barbie pink 🙈) we still have airflow across the rest of the tiles and in the soffits via vents so Lord willing, problem solved. Thanks for thinking of us again and sorry for delay in responding 😊
We're near the ocean, and these have started to rust after 20 years(powder coated metal, tile roof), look like hell, and the replacement estimates have been really high.Bummer.
Nice work. I was wondering about your set up. I thought for a moment you were on stilts. My brother recently give me some help fixing the down pipe. Fortunately, no trouble with birds. But facia board section was rotten due to downpipe had detached. Just need to replace a peace of facia board now. My home is a terrace house.
@@macplastering Bathroom waiting for plater to dry before tiling. It is the last room now to finish. Might do a tidy up in the attic yet. I usually do most jobs myself apart from gas. But, had a firm put under floor insulation down. They said that, I wouldn't be able to tell they have been when they finish. But when I saw later what they had done. They had made a real mess. Plus used the wrong floorboard nails. They spoiled my beautiful floorboards. When I did the kitchen floorboards you would have a job to see the nails and the joins are all tight. I should have done the job myself. They even nailed right close to the edge of the floorboards with a nail gun using flat head nails, like plasterboard nails, splitting the wood, also leaving big gaps. It is disheartening. I stayed in the kitchen while they did the work. I was not able to get into the living room to see how they were doing because they barricaded the door. I should have walked all the way round the back. It would have only have taken 5 minutes to walk the distance. I may yet have a word with the company they work for. Send the pictures I took before they started. And the pictures I took afterwards, showing what a mess they have made.
I know it can be a pain when you dont get the job that you where expecting and know you could have done it better yourself, I myself love doing my own jobs around the house but finding it hard to get anything done in my own place as so busy at this time
I can't remove my gutters or lift the tiles due to age and type of gutters & tiles, anyone know if they can still be fitted with everything still in place?
Good video... A starling THOUGHT it was OK to make a nest in my roof... I blocked the hole up with Swagega hand soap when it flew inside to feed the young birds. FLY IN AND OUT through that you noisy bastards. 🤣😆
@@macplastering I think he means you like the sound of your own voice lol A good invention thanks for sharing. I had birds in my loft as well until today they were getting in at the back under a raised tile so shoved 100s of bagged up carrier bags behind it that stopped them until they found another hole at the front which we have now filled with wadding
God only know what he or she meant, Imagine some one walking around saying that to a stranger on a building site or even out shopping ? indeed but yes this thing has worked a treat haven't had birds from fitted it so far so good :) Thanks for watching buddy

It's a bit of a drive but if your stuck give us a shout our number is on our Facebook did u have these installed already
@@macplastering yes, it looks like they have been installed but some seem to have perished 🙈
Did you ever get sorted ? you could drop us a few pictures on our wattsapp and get have a look at them a try work something out

What has started to rust ? these are plastic like all plastic

I plan on pvc in future everything is solid for the time being that way but I dont want to have to paint it every year LOL
@@macplastering When I do any job on the house I hope it will last at least 5 or 10 years or more. I should be working now really. Cup of tea first.
@@StevePhillips What are you working at now mate ?

That will do the job mac 👍👍👍
Working great all summer so far mate :):)
@@macplastering nice one 👍
Birds where i live have leant to move the plastic parts..
Oh smart little chicks they are wonder could you find a metal version ? might be harder fpr them to move
I can't remove my gutters or lift the tiles due to age and type of gutters & tiles, anyone know if they can still be fitted with everything still in place?
I think it could be possible as long as you have enough room between and can get them screwed but will be fiddly and awkward
@@macplastering Thanks for replying, cast iron gutters and tiles that are both almost 80 years old...I'm reluctant to touch them!! 😀
@@car284 Thought that was the case :) hope you get on well
Omg we have lots of pigeon inside our loft roof. It's terrible and very bad mess .don't know how to get rid of them.
This is a good way to stop them getting in but would need to make sure they are out 1st
i can't hear or understand a word he is saying!
Try putting volume up or head phones
My volume is up full...you're mumbling.
@roseannejames4831 thought it's one of the more clear videos
@@macplastering sorry i was very grumpy yesterday... but you were mumbling lol 😁
@roseannejames4831 that's OK if I ever can I will try re make this 1
Good video... A starling THOUGHT it was OK to make a nest in my roof... I blocked the hole up with Swagega hand soap when it flew inside to feed the young birds.
FLY IN AND OUT through that you noisy bastards. 🤣😆
oh they do make a noise like they just dont care
We had a bird or rat in our roof
Oh not so good, rats like to chew wires as their teeth constantly grow so the chew things to cut the teeth down but both can be noisy in the loft
Oxygen thief
?

@@macplastering minimum you could do is like my comment thanks
What happens if they are inside or have nests? How do you make sure they are out?
