Bird proofing across the Midlands.
Bird work is proofing work, not a treatment. We survey the building, design and manufacture the system for that elevation, and install it ourselves — most commonly under solar arrays, along rooflines, and on commercial frontages.
Signs birds are nesting on your building
If any of this sounds familiar, it is worth a call. Advice over the phone is free, and we will tell you honestly if you do not need us.
What to look for
- Fouling on ledges, signage, walkways or vehicles below
- Nesting material accumulating in gutters, behind fascia, or under solar panels
- Persistent noise from a roof void or beneath an array, especially in spring and summer
- Blocked gutters and downpipes causing water ingress
- Mite or insect activity following a nest being abandoned
Solar panels are the commonest call
The gap beneath a roof-mounted array is warm, dry, sheltered and open at the edge — close to ideal for a pigeon, and expensive to leave. It is one of the most common bird jobs we attend, and it is fully avoidable with a perimeter proofing system fitted properly.
How a bird job runs
Every job is priced before it starts, and the price we agree is the price you pay.
Roof and ledge inspection
We look at where birds are landing, nesting and getting in — usually the roofline, soffits, gutters, solar array edges and any sheltered ledge.
Proofing designed for the building
Netting, sprung wire or galvanised mesh depending on the elevation and the species. We survey, manufacture and install it ourselves.
Fouling and nest removal
Contaminated material cleared and removed from site and the area disinfected, before any proofing goes up.
Denying access for good
The proofing goes in, fixed to the building rather than to anything it should not be fixed to — on a solar array, that means the roof, not the panels or their rails.
What the law allows
Most wild birds, their nests and their eggs are protected while in use. That shapes the timing of the work: proofing and deterrents can go up outside the nesting season, but an active nest generally cannot simply be removed. We will tell you plainly what can be done now and what has to wait — and if there is any indication of bats, work stops and specialist advice is required before anything continues.
