Hi all
I'm new to the forum and have joined to get some advice.
One of my roof tiles has blown off, the lowest/ corner one closest to the front/side wall of the house.
Rain is coming into the roof, and the roofer is due to come round next week to replace the tile.
But I can hear a little patter of feet from the bedroom ceiling just about the point where the hole is, certainly within 1 metre. It is a 1920s old cottage and the attic is not boarded. What is my best course of action because on the one hand I need to repair the roof to stop the rain doing damage to the rest of the house, but on the other hand I would not want to repair the tile and trap the bird inside my loft with no way out. there are no windows and the trap door is at the opposite extremity of the house. Any help or advice most appreciated.
Also if the bird is not nesting, is there a wildlife group that helps with the safe removal of a bird?
Thank you
