With a historic market, old terraces and a working windmill nearby, Sneinton has plenty of sheltered corners pigeons like. We proof the spots they use and keep the work tidy.
Market buildings tend to have exactly what pigeons look for: open-sided roofs, beams, signage and a steady supply of dropped food. Traders and shop owners then deal with droppings near stock and walkways. We look at how the space is used, where birds enter and where they settle, then suggest proofing that suits the structure without blocking access or trading. Open-sided structures need a different approach from houses, usually combining physical barriers with tidy waste handling around the stalls.
Houses in the surrounding streets are mostly Victorian terraces, where pigeons use chimneys, gable ends and eaves. Neighbouring roofs are usually close together, so birds can move quickly if only one is dealt with. We use lawful methods only, because wild birds are protected, and we explain what we recommend before any work starts. If stock or food is stored nearby, tell us in advance so we can fit the work without disturbing it.
Usually yes. We plan the work around opening hours where we can and keep access clear. A free survey tells you what is needed and how long it should take, and prices are fixed. The windmill and market area attract visitors, and dropped food makes the whole area more appealing to birds.
Pigeons are creatures of habit and return to roosts that offer shelter and a good view. Once a spot is used regularly it holds a scent and droppings that attract more birds, so proofing holds up better when paired with cleaning. Fixings are chosen to suit the older brick, and we point out any areas where we would hold back.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
