Why Pigeon Proofing Matters

Pigeons foul and damage buildings, signage and vehicles. Guano is acidic and can corrode masonry, metalwork and solar frames; slip risks increase on walkways, and blocked gutters cause leaks. Fouling and nesting debris may harbour pathogens and biting insects — professional, humane proofing prevents re-infestation and protects your asset.

Compliance & Welfare

All systems are humane and installed in line with UK law. It’s illegal to interfere with active nests or cause unnecessary harm. Where nests are active, we schedule works for the appropriate time or advise on licensing where applicable.

Our Process

  1. Survey: Identify roosting/feeding sites, ingress points and soiling.
  2. Proposal: Best-fit deterrent system, access plan (ladders, towers, MEWP, rope), and schedule.
  3. Clean & Prep: Guano removal, biocide, and surface preparation.
  4. Install: Spikes, wire, netting or solar mesh with tidy finishes.
  5. Handover: Photos, warranty and aftercare guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will spikes harm pigeons?
No. Spikes are a humane anti-perch method. They remove the ability to land comfortably without injuring birds.
Can you proof solar panels without drilling?
Yes. We fit clip-on mesh skirts designed for PV frames — no drilling into panels or rails, preserving warranties and airflow.
Do you remove guano before installing proofing?
Yes. We safely remove fouling and nesting material, apply biocide and dispose of waste under duty-of-care requirements before we install deterrents.
Is netting visible?
Netting is tensioned and colour-matched (stone, black, translucent) to minimise visual impact. We place zips for future access to plant and gutters.
What access methods do you use?
Dependent on site: ladders, mobile towers, MEWPs (cherry pickers) or rope access. We include all access planning in your quote.
Can you work around an active nest?
It’s illegal to disturb active nests. We’ll schedule works for after fledging or advise on licensing where applicable. We can still survey and quote in the meantime.
How long do systems last?
Quality spikes and wire systems typically last 5–10+ years; nets can last similar with periodic checks. Solar mesh is durable and UV-stable — we include warranty details at handover.
Which areas do you cover?
Leeds and wider West Yorkshire — including Bradford, Wakefield, Harrogate, York and Huddersfield.
