Filey has a long beach, a headland, holiday lets and older seafront property. Pigeons settle among the ledges and balconies, and we fit humane, lawful proofing.
Coastal buildings get wind, salt and gulls, but pigeons also use seafront ledges, balconies and the underside of canopies. In Filey, holiday lets matter because droppings on a terrace or entrance can be noticed by guests the moment they arrive. Between lettings, there is often a window to do the work, and we can plan the visit around changeovers if you tell us the dates.
Older seafront property has detailed frontages, whereas later housing and caravan-site buildings have plainer roofs and flat tops. Salt air is hard on fixings, so we choose materials that stand up to it. Gulls are protected too, and our proofing is for pigeons but is always humane and lawful. Cost depends on height, area and access, and a free quote follows a survey.
Yes. Tell us the gaps between bookings and we can try to fit the survey and work into them. Same-day appointments are available for surveys, which helps when a gap is short. Please send the key dates when you book so we can aim for the quietest window.
Netting and spikes can stop other birds landing on the same surfaces too. Gulls are protected as well, so we use humane, lawful methods, and if gulls are the real problem we advise accordingly. Gulls are a different bird with different needs, so a survey will separate what is what.

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.
