Boringly I would suggest caution. The RSPCA came round to tell us off after I did some emergency facia repairs during a storm.
Apparently you are not supposed to do anything to upset/discourage nesting birds even if it is considered essential house repairs.
Starlings can have more than one brood per year, so the nesting season last through spring and summer.
We were ‘let off’ as I had actually left a gap in case there were any left in the roof space (as I didn’t want them to die and then rot in the roof). We were under no illusion that the outcome could have been different if we had not allowed continued access.
It seems one of our neighbours reported us and the RSPCA were round within two hours
