Pigeons and other pest birds cause significant damage to buildings through fouling, nesting, and physical wear. Pigeon droppings are corrosive to stonework and metalwork, block gutters and drainage, and create serious slip hazards. They also carry health risks including histoplasmosis, psittacosis, and salmonella.
DIY deterrents are often ineffective and incorrectly installed. Our technicians survey the property, identify all roosting and nesting points, and install a tailored system that provides lasting results. All work is fully compliant with UK wildlife legislation.
We offer a free, no-obligation survey and quote for all bird proofing enquiries. Call us on 0117 444 9821 or WhatsApp 07547 325121.

It depends. If birds are nesting with eggs or chicks present, there are legal restrictions on disturbing the nest during breeding season. We'll normally plan and agree on proofing methods during that period and installed as soon as the nest becomes inactive.
Properly specified and installed systems are built to last, but longevity depends on the system type, the level of bird pressure, and the environment. Exposed or coastal locations benefit from more durable materials. We'll always provide honest recommendations and lifespan estimates upfront.
Standard systems like spikes and netting are treated as maintenance rather than structural alteration, so planning permission isn't usually needed. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas, of which there are many across Bristol and Bath, may have external restrictions. We'll bring up anything relevant to your property during the initial assessment.
All the systems we install are designed to prevent landing and nesting, not to injure. Correctly specified and fitted deterrents cause no harm; they just make the area unsuitable for roosting.
It depends on the property, the species, and where the problem is occurring. We install anti-perch spikes on ledges, parapets, and rooflines; netting to exclude birds from larger areas or enclosed spaces; post-and-wire systems for flat, open surfaces; and purpose-built solar panel mesh. Most installations use a combination of solutions rather than a single method.
