Between Victorian terraces and post-war flats, Hyson Green offers pigeons balconies, ledges and roof edges. Proofing keeps them off the places residents walk and sit.
Post-war flats bring their own pigeon habits: balcony undersides, communal stairwell openings, flat roof parapets and the tops of external pipework. Droppings gather on walkways and fire exits, and residents often end up asking the landlord to deal with it. We assess which areas are actually in use and fit proofing to those, so the rest of the building is left uncluttered. Where fire exits or escape routes are involved, we keep proofing clear of them and agree positions with the building manager first.
Terraced streets nearby have a different pattern, with birds landing on ridge lines, chimney stacks and window ledges. For shared buildings we can explain the work to a landlord or managing agent in plain terms. As wild birds are protected, we only use lawful proofing, and we can advise on safe cleaning of droppings afterwards. Because the worst fouling is usually at head height on landings, even a small number of deterrents can make a visible difference.
We survey the block, explain what is needed and agree a fixed price before starting. Leaseholders and tenants can ask their landlord or agent to contact us, and we will explain the options in plain language. Flat roofs and parapets are the usual starting point, and these can often be reached without disturbing residents.
Dried droppings can carry organisms that are not good to breathe in. Wear gloves and a mask, dampen the area first and bag the waste. We can advise on cleaning, and larger or hard-to-reach areas are better left to professionals. A landlord or caretaker can pass on access details so the visit runs smoothly.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.

A mouse needs a gap of only around a centimetre. In Hyson Green's terraces and post-war flats, the routes in are often pipes and cable gaps.
