Mostly inter-war and post-war housing, Garforth gives pigeons plain rooflines with plenty of flat edges. We fit tidy, humane proofing that keeps them away.
Housing built between the wars and after is usually regular: long, uniform rows of eaves, soffits and porch roofs. That regularity helps a flock, which can walk the full length of a street at gutter level. In a commuter town like Garforth the damage tends to be everyday nuisance, with fouled drives, droppings on bin lids and noise from birds under tiles in the early morning.
Because shapes repeat, proofing is often straightforward to specify. Mesh can close gaps under tiles, wire or spikes can run along the gutter line, and netting can cover a recessed porch or flat roof edge. The birds are protected, so we use lawful, humane methods only. If a former mining village feel gives way to a shop parade or unit nearby, we can survey that too.
It can be. Cooing and shuffling above a bedroom ceiling, especially early, often points to birds in a roof void or behind a fascia. We would inspect before suggesting anything, because the entry point decides what proofing is needed.
It depends on how many roosting spots there are, how high the work is and whether cleaning is needed. Some houses need a short run of wire, others a full set of mesh. A free quote after a look is the honest answer.

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.
