A small minster town with farmland around it, Southwell has older stone and brick property where pigeons find shelter. We proof with the building in mind.
Older properties in a minster town tend to have deep eaves, stone ledges, small dormers and plenty of nooks. With farmland and orchards nearby, birds can arrive from open land and roost on the buildings. We survey carefully, noting how birds enter, where they rest and what the building can take. Orchard and farmland birds are common, and fruit drops in autumn can add to what attracts them.
Because many buildings are older, we select proofing that avoids unnecessary damage to stone and brick. Wild birds are protected, so every method we use is lawful and humane. Prices are fixed, advice on cleaning is free. We work in Southwell as part of our coverage of the Newark and Sherwood area. Stone tiles and old timbers need careful handling, so we explain the method before any fixing.
Generally yes. Fixings can be chosen to suit stone or brick, and deterrents often sit on top of ledges. We explain the approach before starting. Visitors to the minster leave food waste, and tidy bins nearby help reduce the draw.
Often. Pigeons feed on open land and use roofs for shelter and a view. Proofing the favoured perches reduces how often they stay. If your property is listed, tell us at booking so we can discuss what is suitable.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
