A busy parade of shops draws pigeons to canopies, fascias and bins. Sherwood's villas and terraces then give them somewhere to roost. We tackle both ends of the problem.
Where food shops and takeaways cluster, pigeons come for scraps and settle on the nearest sheltered structure. Shop canopies, upper fascia boards and signage are favourites, and droppings land right on the customer's route. We look at what the birds are using, advise on housekeeping such as bins and waste, and fit proofing to the surfaces that count. Where a shop is open all day, we try to arrange work in quieter periods and keep an entrance clear.
Residential streets nearby are a mix of Victorian villas and terraces with plenty of chimneys and eaves. Pigeons roosting there tend to commute to the shops and back. For businesses, our commercial division offers a free survey. All proofing is lawful and humane, since wild birds are protected, and we explain the options before any work begins. Customers notice droppings quickly, so a visible tidy-up after the work often matters as much as the proofing itself.
It helps less. Food scraps are what bring birds in, so tidy bins and waste handling make proofing far more effective. During our survey we point out any simple housekeeping changes that would reduce the draw. Takeaway wrappers and spilled food are a regular draw, and a lidded bin is a sensible first step.
We can arrange appointments to suit, and plan the work to keep the entrance usable. We agree the work with you first. The commercial division can also provide a free survey and written report for traders who need a record.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
