Stockhill's mix of older and post-war housing means pigeons may be using a garage roof one week and a porch the next. We pin down where and fit proofing to suit.
Where streets have a blend of house types, pigeons often exploit the outbuildings and extensions that are easiest to reach: garage roofs, lean-tos, car port beams and shed eaves. These sheltered spots collect droppings that end up on cars, washing lines and patios. We start by finding which perch is used most, as that is often where proofing makes the biggest difference. Garage and car port roofs are often low and easy to reach, so the work on them can be quick once the right fix is chosen.
The houses themselves may have gaps at the eaves, open vents or a gutter where nesting material gathers. We recommend only what the survey shows is needed. Wild birds are protected, so every method is lawful and humane, and you receive free advice on cleaning and on spotting early signs of birds returning. Leaving garage doors open for long periods can also invite birds inside, so we mention that where relevant.
Open-sided structures like these are popular with pigeons, and netting or deterrents on beams and ledges is common. We assess the structure and quote a fixed price after a free survey. Mixed housing means mixed roofs, and each one is looked at on its own merits during the visit.
Cleaning removes the droppings and scent that can draw birds back, so it is a useful companion. Wear gloves and a mask for safety. We can advise on how to do it or whether to leave it to a professional. Straw, twigs and feathers in a gutter are a clear sign that birds are nesting nearby.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
