Tadcaster is a small town on the Wharfe with a long brewing heritage and older stone property. We fit humane pigeon proofing to homes, yards and business premises.
Small towns with big old buildings often have a pigeon problem centred on just a few of them. With a brewing heritage, Tadcaster has substantial stone buildings with high walls, ledges and yards where birds can find shelter. When one such roost sits close to the main street or a riverside walk, the fouling shows quickly, which is why the biggest roost usually deserves treating first.
Smaller homes in older stone and later estates tend to have simpler jobs, such as a chimney guard, a run of wire on a ridge or mesh closing an eaves gap. The River Wharfe nearby is part of the birds' daily movements. Wild birds are protected, so we use humane, lawful methods only. Prices depend on the height, area and condition of the roof, and a free survey explains it all.
It can be. A flock using one large building will spread droppings along nearby paths and roofs. Dealing with that main roost often reduces problems for neighbours too. Our experience is that cutting that one flock's comfort has a wide effect.
It means the work at height is covered if something goes wrong. Our technicians are fully insured and trained, and we are happy to explain how the access will be handled before work begins. It is simply an assurance for you, and we are glad to explain the access arrangements.

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.
