Knottingley lies beside the Aire and Calder Navigation near Ferrybridge, with terraces and older glass-making buildings. We fit humane proofing against roosting pigeons.
Glass-making history left sturdy industrial buildings with flat roofs, high windows and large doors, and canal navigation walls provide dry, quiet places beneath. Pigeons make good use of both. Around Knottingley the first thing we check on an industrial site is whether any roof opening leaves a bird free to enter, since sealing that does more than any amount of netting on ledges.
For homes, terraces and later housing have the familiar issues: chimneys, eaves and gutters, and garage roofs. Close to Ferrybridge there is open space and water, so birds are never far away, which is why a physical barrier outlasts cleaning alone. Pigeons are protected wild birds, so we use methods that deter without harm. The quote follows a survey and depends on height, area and any clean-up.
Where the opening is the way in, sealing is usually more durable and less costly to maintain than netting ledges. Sometimes both are needed. We check which routes birds use before deciding. Netting on a ledge is a fallback if sealing the route in is not possible.
It can. Droppings in work areas, on stock or on walkways create cleaning work and may cause slip hazards. Proofing the roost and cleaning properly reduces that, and a survey will show what is needed.

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
