Stopping birds coming into the house

Put a cowl on the chimney pot,the type will depend on what the fire is being used for. Regards Alex

Hi you just need a portion of chicken wire placing on your chimmney pot cowl are 40 pounds each as are bird grilles chicken wire and simular are as little as 50 pence per squaremetre after all you did ask for the cheapest !! and it doesnt need a gas safe engineers blessing birds dont generally nest on pots they may stop to rest or warm up in the winter but trees are for nesting for sure

You can put a chimney cowl over the top this then alows the smoke and flumes out but stops the birds etc getting in it's also better than blocking it off completely if it's not used as it still alows the air flow and stops damp

The correct thing you are looking for it's called a crow garaged you can look on the Internet they are are mostly used in Ireland for the cottages so if you go on the Internet and look it up and ask for a crow Garrard you can order them online and they will deliver it to your house
