A Trent-side village with a bridge and lock, Gunthorpe gives birds river views and sheltered eaves. We proof cottages and premises where they settle.
Riverside settings bring a steady flow of birds, and visitors to the water may leave scraps that encourage pigeons. Older cottages and village buildings have deep eaves, small dormers and chimneys, all useful for roosting. We survey the property and look at the surrounding structures, such as boat stores, garages and outbuildings. Waterside wind and damp can affect fixings, so we choose materials that will cope with the exposure.
Because many buildings in the village are older, proofing must be chosen carefully to avoid damaging fabric. We explain the options, give a fixed price and offer free advice on cleaning droppings. Appointments can be arranged to suit. Boat storage and canal-style buildings may have open sides, and we assess each one separately.
Yes, provided methods suit the building. We choose fixings that avoid unnecessary damage and explain what is proposed first. Visitors to the lock and bridge leave scraps, and tidy bins nearby reduce the temptation for birds.
Scraps near the waterside draw pigeons in, and some then roost on nearby buildings. Proofing helps but cannot fully offset a steady food supply. We can arrange a visit around the season, since the village is busier in summer.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
