Batley's former shoddy mills and stone terraces give pigeons high perches and quiet voids. We fit humane, lawful proofing to protect homes and businesses.
The rag-recycling mills that made Batley known left big stone shells, now used for all kinds of business. High walls, ledges and under-roof spaces suit pigeons and are tricky to reach, so the practical question is how to stop birds entering and perching without constant maintenance. We survey from outside first, then check inside for signs of nesting and fouling.
The town's terraces and later housing carry the usual problems at smaller scale: a pair of birds on a chimney, droppings dripping from a gutter, or a gap under the tiles that leads to the loft. Because pigeons are protected wild birds, we use methods that deter without harming them and take care with active nests. A free quote follows, based on height, extent and any cleaning required.
With the right access, which might be a tower, a cherry picker or scaffold depending on the building. We assess the height and layout at survey and include access in the quote so the cost is clear.
Light jobs, such as fitting a chimney guard at low height, may be within reach. Anything at height is risky, and poor fixing can fail. Cleaning droppings also needs proper protective gear, so many people prefer a professional.

One bird on a ledge is not a problem, but a settled flock is. Here is how to recognise a roost, a nesting site and a feeding habit, and what each one means for the building.
Read the advice →Pigeons rarely leave because you ask them to. They leave when a ledge, roof or sill stops being a comfortable place to land. This guide covers what works and what does not.
Read the advice →Pigeon proofing can range from a short job on a single ledge to a full scaffold project on a large building. This guide explains why, so you can judge a quote properly.
Read the advice →Pigeons are a nuisance long before they are a serious hazard, but a settled flock can cause blocked drainage, soiled entrances and hygiene concerns. Here is how to weigh the risks sensibly.
Read the advice →It is far easier to stop pigeons settling than to move a flock that has made itself at home. These are the steps that matter, in the order that tends to help most.
Read the advice →A householder can sort out a small ledge with the right materials, but larger buildings bring height, legal and hygiene issues. This guide explains where the line falls.

A typical job begins with watching how the birds use the building, then fitting the system that fits that pattern.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
