I had the same problem last year Ron, so I got a local handyman to fit this. It has worked well.

:thumbsup:
That’s the only real solution to the problem - lm waiting of the local Handyman to get back to me for a cost to fit.
There is a local firm of roofers who have quoted me £390 all done including getting rid of the current crop of sky rats and their nests.

I’ve had PV panels for about ten years and it’s only last year they’ve started nest and become nuisance. I think they are hiding from the Magpies!

Im going to contact the local firm and have them install the mesh asap as the local Handyman seems to want only the bigger jobs these days.

Apart from the gutters filling and debris on the patio, I'm getting sick of the constant coo coo coo - so £395 is starting to look like a bargain :thumbsup:

I’m told by a neighbour that there was approx twenty sitting on my roof last night!
There has been a few visitors today but i think they will soon be someone else’s problem quite soon - it’s cost me £390 tho!
