Chimney Animal Removal Specialists

Northcote combines established homes, renovated properties, apartments and local businesses with a broad mix of installed hardware.

Alternative Line Solutions provides chimney animal removal support throughout Northcote and nearby suburbs when scratching, bird calls or nesting material suggest an animal has entered the flue. We first assess the likely location and access. The type of animal and its position determine whether we can assist or need to arrange a suitable wildlife specialist.

Where appropriate, the work includes removal support and clearing accessible debris, followed by advice on reducing repeat entry. Chimney caps and cowls can help protect a suitable opening once the animal issue is resolved. Chimney inspections can assess remaining visible restrictions. Do not light a fire to try to drive an animal out.
