Small Trent valley villages like Marnham are surrounded by farmland and riverside, which keeps pigeons close. We proof the barns, stores and eaves they depend on.
A rural setting means plenty of food and plenty of open buildings. Farm stores, stables and cottage lofts offer pigeons dry places to roost, and the damage is usually droppings on stock, vehicles or timber. We survey the main house and each outbuilding, working out where birds enter and where they rest. Timber stables and stores may show gnaw and wear around openings, and we repair or cover them rather than harm any bird.
In small villages, one unproofed barn can hold a large roost. We recommend proofing in proportion to what we find, and keep the explanations clear. Wild birds are protected, so we use lawful methods that do not harm them. Fixed prices and free advice apply, and visits can be arranged to suit. If a barn is still in use, we plan the work so animals and machinery are not disturbed.
Usually, by closing the gaps they use, such as damaged vents or missing tiles. We check for birds and nests first, as nesting wild birds are protected. Cleaning old droppings from beams is dusty work, so we advise on protection if you do it yourself.
Not particularly. We simply allow more time for outbuildings. Tell us what structures are on site when you call so we can plan the visit. Small villages travel by word of mouth, and we are happy to look at neighbouring properties on the same visit.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.

A rural home is not out of reach. Bed bugs arrive in a suitcase, a second-hand bed or a worker's holdall, and the first week decides how far they spread.
Read the advice →Rural houses often have more to eat for these insects: sheepskin rugs, feather cushions, old taxidermy, loft nests. Working out which pest is chewing matters.
