5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoWe had an awful problem with sparrows, which nest in next door's roof. ( They are clearly deaf! )
The only solution we found were scary eye bird deterrent balloons, they look a little vivid, but they really work. We now have a peaceful bird pooh free path. Plus the neighbour has to look at them as they're 9 feet in the air, and he puts up umbrellas all around his garden so that he doesn't have to look at the other houses ( Yep, enough said ). I know you probably don't want to look at them, but maybe a fake sparrow hawk or one of those cats with scary eyes?

Anything that blows puts birds off from landing.

Ideas on Extension Roof Please
Comments (13)Its the hip that makes it look all a bit odd i think but i can totally see why it is irritating to spend money making it into a gable when in fact it gives you no usable room just a better looking house externally. The pitch to the top plan does seem very shallow which is going to compromise your rooflights to some degree. Of the two i think i would go with the pitch & flat combo as it will be marginally better looking and will give you a nicer vaulted space within the building. Have you thought about building a very modern extension? Still think that may be the way to do it, black framed windows / doors, high walls in grey render with totally flat roof - maybe put sedum on it to make it green and then get a massive roof lantern in the middle which will really brighten the inside up - wood burning stove and you got your self some Scandi-design. To take away from the height a bit get your builder to knock you up some brise soleil over the windows doors and bring planting as close to it as you can so it merges into the garden. Australians do modern on bungalows very well so i would look to them for inspiration....See MoreRoof lantern

5 years agoEmily you bad girl lol! I’m very tolerant of wildlife and I do feed the wild birds. Obviously I prefer the little ‘uns coming to the feeders more than the pigeons, but there you go. They all do poos, just like we do, The only wildlife I can’t tolerate is rats - had them in my garden this year and they had dug a den in my garden! Had to get the local pest controller in. On a more helpful note, I had heard having a black silhouette of a bird of prey in the garden may keep the birds away? Something like this?
