I'm replacing my guttering and I found a gap between the barge board a lap tile which is allowing the birds to get in & out to build a nest.
They are not in the loft space.
I notice that the gap between the barge board and each tile elsewhere is filled with mortar, however quite a few are in poor condition.
I looked at something called an eaves comb filter, but this will require removal of all the tiles. A job I'm not capable of.
My question is if was ok to originally fill the gap with mortar when the house was built is it OK for me to fill the gap with expanding foam to stop the birds getting in and out?
Will it prevent ventilation.
Thanks.
