Cleckheaton's mill and textile past left stone buildings with plenty of ledges. We fit humane pigeon proofing to terraces, estates and commercial premises in the Spen Valley.
Textile towns leave behind long buildings with flat parapets, skylights and high windows, many of them now units or workshops. Pigeons find these just as well as the people who work in them. When a business unit has droppings on its loading area or birds in an open roof void, proofing is a practical matter of keeping staff and visitors clear and goods clean.
Houses in the town divide between stone terraces with chimney and eaves issues, and later estates where it is mostly porches and soffits. We look at each separately. Because pigeons are protected wild birds, we avoid anything that hurts them, and we check for nests that are in use before starting. A free survey covers both homes and businesses, and the quote reflects size and access.
Usually. Netting or wire across the perches above the yard, with openings sealed where possible, reduces fouling. We survey how the yard is used so the proofing does not get in the way of vehicles or deliveries.
Often quickly, and same-day appointments are available. We would look at roofs, ledges and entry points, then follow with a written quote so you can compare the options without pressure. The quote then lists exactly what will be fitted, so you can decide in your own time.

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 →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.
