Keep Birds Out & Gutters with the Hedgehog Gutter Brush
The Hedgehog Gutter Brush is a dual-purpose solution designed to stop birds from nesting under roof tiles and to keep gutters free from leaves and debris. This simple but effective product offers a humane bird-proofing method while maintaining proper water drainage.
Hedgehog gutter brush is fitted within minutes and will not require any special installation expertise, it adapts automatically to the shape of any gutter and can be easily cleaned if necessary. Leaves and twigs either bounce off the top of the brush or will naturally degrade, they are virtually indestructible and last for years.
The gutter brush bristles are coated with a unique UV-resistant protective coating to safeguard and protect from extreme temperatures. This allows a solid 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
We only recommend the genuine Hedgehog Gutter Brush Guard System. Other systems are available on the market but with different bristle strength and core wire.
What Is a Gutter Brush and How Does It Work?
The Gutter Brush is a flexible, 100mm-diameter bristle strip, 4 metres in length, made in UK from UV-resistant polypropylene. It sits neatly inside standard roof gutters or can be installed under roof tiles along the eaves line.
- When used in gutters, it prevents the accumulation of leaves, moss, and twigs that cause blockages.
- When installed under roof tiles, it creates a physical barrier to prevent birds like starlings and pigeons from entering loft spaces to nest.

No, but you can easily use 2 rolls end to end.
Yes. They are very easy to cut with wire cutters. The bristles are coming off a centre wire spiral that can be cut at any point to suit your requirements.
Yes, they are strong enough but bird ingress depends on the distance between your gutter and tile. It depends on the depth of the gutter and its placement below the edge of the tiles: if it is a shallow or ogee gutter up to 25/30mm below the tile edge then yes it is. But if it is a half-round gutter then it not going to get close enough to the underside of the tiles to be effective.
If you have too much of a gap you may cut little Hedgehog sections of approx. 15 cm and push them directly inside the ridge tiles: the air will travel but birds won’t be able to get in.
Hedgehog gutter brush should be flexible enough to go around a corner but if your gutter is too small you can cut it through using wire cutters or pliers, and push the 2 ends together as close as possible.
