Wakefield, a cathedral city with a coalfield and woollen past, has terraces, industrial buildings and estates that pigeons use. We fit humane, lawful proofing.
A cathedral city carries plenty of tall stone, and cities draw pigeons to ledges and buildings with food nearby. In Wakefield that means commercial frontages, offices and car parks in the centre, where droppings mark pavements and cars. Because birds are fed by passers-by, central buildings need robust proofing and a realistic expectation: your building stops being a roost, while the flock continues elsewhere.
Former industrial buildings from the coalfield and woollen era have open roofs, dock doors and parapets, and some units stand part used. Victorian terraces and later estates carry the domestic version, with chimneys, eaves and garage tops. All our work is lawful and humane, as pigeons are protected wild birds. A free survey will establish scope, and commercial service contracts are available if upkeep is needed.
Often yes, using netting across roof structures and wire along beams. The design depends on the layout, access for vehicles and fire or safety needs, so we survey first and discuss it with whoever manages the site.
It varies with the material, weather and how well it is fitted. Good netting and wire can last for years, but they should be checked from time to time, especially after storms. A yearly look is sensible for exposed roofs, and we can advise on how often suits yours.

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.
