Historic town-centre property offers pigeons a great deal: stone ledges, arches, projecting signs and quiet rear courtyards. Droppings gather on pavements and doorways, and staining can affect stonework. We survey each building carefully and choose proofing that suits the fabric, aiming to keep the appearance of the building intact. Warehouses near the river often have high roof edges, so safe access is arranged before work is booked.
Riverside premises and later housing have their own patterns, with warehouses offering open roof edges and loading areas, and homes seeing ridge, chimney and porch roosting.
