    Problems with rooks and chimneys.

    We have an old cottage with chimneys that rooks love to make nests in. Does anyone know about how much it would cost to have something put over the chimney to stop this? I think the main cost would be the scaffolding to get up there. Who would you ask to do this - a builder or a roof person?

    Just make sure they haven't started to build their nest when you do this - its illegal to disturb nesting birds so get it done before they start!

    Cool Re: Problems with rooks and chimneys.

    Take your pick... easy to fit (about 10 minute job). An extension ladder and a cat ladder. Job done. Perhaps you can find a friendly scaffolder who would help you out

    Just be careful!
