Can You Replace Only the Eaves Filler Comb? A Guide to Repairs

When it comes to roof repairs, many homeowners wonder whether they need a full roof replacement or if targeted repairs are possible. The good news is that you can often replace just the eaves filler comb without needing to replace the entire roof.

When Should You Replace the Eaves Filler Comb?

  • Visible Damage: Cracked, broken, or missing sections of your eaves filler comb can leave your roof vulnerable to pests and debris.

  • Frequent Bird Intrusion: If you notice birds nesting under your roof tiles, it’s likely time to replace your combs.

  • Signs of Wear: Plastic combs often degrade faster than the roofing materials themselves and should be replaced proactively to maintain protection.

How Birdcomb Simplifies Repairs: With Birdcomb’s galvanised steel eaves filler combs, replacing worn-out plastic combs is straightforward. Our combs are designed to fit seamlessly into existing roofing structures, extending the life of your roof and enhancing its protection without needing a full replacement.
