Tall Victorian villas near Mansfield Road offer pigeons high ledges and deep chimney stacks. We proof them from a safe working position and explain exactly what is being fitted.
Taller Victorian houses mean pigeon problems are often out of sight and out of reach: cills several storeys up, bay window tops, parapet gutters and chimney shoulders. Droppings stain stonework and brickwork, and nesting material can block valley gutters unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. We survey from the ground and roof where safe to do so, then recommend the minimum proofing needed. Parapet gutters in particular can fill unnoticed, so we photograph what we find and talk through it with you.
Many villas here have been split into flats, which means responsibility can be unclear. We are happy to explain the work to a freeholder or managing agent and provide a fixed price. Because wild birds are protected, we only use lawful methods, and we advise on cleaning and on keeping proofing in good order afterwards. Height is the main challenge here, and we only work where access can be arranged safely.
Usually the freeholder or the management company, as the work affects the roof and external walls. We can explain the problem to them directly and provide a clear fixed price after a free survey. If tenants share the building, a short note from the freeholder usually makes access simple to arrange.
Droppings are acidic and, left for long periods, can stain and slowly affect some surfaces, especially softer materials. Cleaning and proofing together are better than cleaning alone, which only lasts until birds return. Cleaning stonework needs care, as harsh methods can mark softer materials, so ask us before trying anything strong.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
