A former hosiery and mining town, Sutton in Ashfield has older buildings with generous roofs and many estates. We proof the places pigeons actually use.
Town-centre buildings from the hosiery era often include large roofs, loading doors, upper floors and disused areas, which suit pigeons well. Droppings can foul pavements and entrances, and nesting material can block old gutters. We assess the building, the access points and the likely roost spots before proposing proofing. Old gutters on larger buildings may be partly collapsed under nest material, so we check them before proofing.
On the estates, birds tend to concentrate on porches, chimneys and garage blocks. We take the same practical approach: find the regular perches, then proof them. Wild birds are protected, so every method is lawful and humane. Advice is free, and our commercial division can provide a written inspection report for premises. Buildings with upper floors out of use are the most likely to hold large roosts, and we recommend a full inspection.
Quiet, partly used buildings attract pigeons. We assess entry points and roosts, then propose proofing. For commercial buildings, we offer a free survey and written inspection report. Estate roofs usually need simple deterrents on chimneys and ridges, which keeps the work tidy and quick.
Listen for cooing or scratching, look for droppings below roof edges, and watch for birds repeatedly entering the same gap. A survey can confirm it. The free written report for commercial sites records exactly where birds were found and what was proposed.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
