Lenton's terraces change hands every academic year, and a pigeon problem can sit unnoticed until someone lifts the loft hatch. We help landlords and owners get ahead of it.
In a district with many student rentals, roofs and back yards may not be inspected for months. Pigeons can settle in a gutter, behind a fascia or beside a chimney, and the first sign is often droppings in a yard or noise above a bedroom. Landlords tend to want a clear scope and a fixed price, so we survey, explain and quote before anything is fitted. It is worth checking the roofline before tenants arrive in September, when the building is quiet and access is easiest.
The Victorian terraces near the university sit in tight rows, which means birds easily hop between rooflines. We aim to proof the points they actually use, such as eaves gaps, ledges and flat roof edges. Wild birds are protected, so the methods we use are lawful and designed to deter, and we advise on cleaning up before new tenants arrive. Sort out responsibility in the tenancy agreement, since a landlord normally covers external work on the building.
Usually the landlord or managing agent, since it concerns the building fabric. Tenants can report the problem and ask for it to be dealt with. We can speak to either party and give a fixed price after a free survey. We can write up what we find in plain terms for a managing agent.
Often yes, and it is a sensible time as access to rear yards and upper windows is easier. Appointments can be arranged to suit. Planning ahead is usually simpler, and the roof is easier to inspect while the house is empty.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.

You have treated the cat or dog, yet the bites continue. The reason is usually what is waiting in the carpets and floor gaps, not what is on the animal.
