Ilkeston sits just across the border in Derbyshire, and we cover it. Its terraces and former industrial buildings give pigeons plenty of ledges and voids to use.
A former mining and lace-industry town tends to have a lot of older buildings with large roofs and many openings. In Ilkeston, Victorian terraces share rooflines, and older industrial or commercial buildings have beams, loading doors and unused upper floors. We look at how birds enter and where they roost, then match proofing to the structure rather than offering a one-size-fits-all fix. Empty units, workshops and upper floors above shops are common culprits, and we can survey them with the owner's permission.
Estates built later have their own patterns, mostly around porches, garage roofs and gutters. Although Ilkeston is in Derbyshire, in the Erewash borough, we work there as part of our wider area. Wild birds are protected, so the methods we use are lawful and designed to deter, not harm. Free advice and fixed prices apply. Large terraces often share a roof, so agreeing work with neighbours can save repeat visits.

Empty or little-used buildings are often attractive because they are quiet. Broken windows, vents or roof gaps give access, and proofing the openings is usually the first step. Cleaning old droppings can release dust, so a mask and damp cloths are sensible if you tackle it yourself.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
