Product Information

Full details

The Ubbink Eaves Bird Comb is specifically designed for homeowners and roofing contractors looking to secure roof voids against pest intrusion, particularly birds. By effectively closing the gap between the eaves and the underside of profiled tiles, this product provides a reliable barrier while maintaining necessary roof ventilation. While it is highly efficient at blocking access, it is important to note that the product is intended for use with profiled roof tiles and may not be compatible with flat roofing systems or certain unique tile geometries.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this with flat roof tiles?

No, this product is specifically engineered for profiled roof tiles where gaps naturally occur between the tile and the roofline.

Does this restrict ventilation?

No, the comb design features gaps specifically calculated to allow air to pass through while keeping pests out.

How long is each piece?

Each individual piece is 1 meter long, with 20 pieces included in the pack.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a hammer, corrosion-resistant nails or staples, and a saw if you need to trim the final strip to size.

Is the material UV resistant?

Yes, the product is made from high-quality, weather-resistant plastic intended for long-term outdoor exposure.

Can I install this on an existing roof?

It is difficult to install on an existing roof as it usually requires lifting the bottom row of tiles to access the fascia board.

Troubleshooting

The comb fingers are not making full contact with the tile surface.

Adjust the positioning of the comb base on the fascia board or check if the tiles are correctly aligned.

Birds are still gaining access in specific areas.

Ensure that the ends of the strips are perfectly butted together and check for any gaps where the eaves tray meets the fascia.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents bird nesting in roof voids
  • Allows for consistent roof ventilation
  • Compatible with most profiled tiles
  • Easy to install for professional or DIY applications
  • Cost-effective bulk packaging

Cons

  • Not suitable for flat tile designs
  • Requires precise alignment during installation
  • Fixed width of 55mm may not fit all custom eaves depths

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: ensure the fascia is clean and securely fixed. Position the 1-meter strips along the length of the eaves, butting the ends together to ensure a continuous barrier. Secure the base of the comb to the fascia using corrosion-resistant clout nails or staples. The comb is compatible with almost all standard profiled interlocking roof tiles. Maintenance is minimal; however, it is recommended to conduct a visual inspection once every few years during routine gutter cleaning to ensure no debris or buildup has pushed the comb out of position or flattened the fingers, which would compromise the seal.
