Radford's long terraces and older industrial buildings give pigeons a lot of flat, sheltered roof edge. We fit proofing that keeps gutters clear and droppings off yards and pavements.
Long rows of Victorian terraces tend to share a roofline, so one gutter blocked by nesting material can send water down the wall of several houses. Pigeons favour the sheltered corners where roof meets chimney, and the gaps beneath eaves. We look at the full run before suggesting anything, because a single treated house in a row often just moves the birds next door. Shared party walls and joined gutters mean water damage can show up inside a neighbour's house before your own.
Former textile and works buildings in the area bring bigger openings, high beams and loading bays. Proofing there is more about netting off voids and fitting deterrents along beams and sills. Wild birds are protected, so every method we use is lawful and designed to deter rather than harm. Advice on cleaning droppings safely comes with the visit. Each fixing is chosen for the surface it goes on, whether brick, timber fascia or older metal.
It usually works better. Pigeons move to the nearest unprotected roost, so treating one house can push them next door. We can survey several properties in one visit if neighbours agree, and prices are fixed for each. This is why we suggest speaking to the neighbours first and, if they are willing, arranging one visit for the whole row.
Pigeons can breed through much of the year, with activity often peaking in spring and summer. Because nesting birds are protected, we check for active nests before work and advise on timing where needed. Droppings can also hold moisture and block downpipes, so clearing the nest debris is usually part of the job.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
