Close to Sneinton, Thorneywood has terraces and later housing where pigeons settle on ridges, soffits and chimney tops. Proofing here is about neat, targeted fixes.
Mixed housing means pigeons find different things to use on each street. Older terraces offer gaps under eaves and broad chimney stacks, while later houses have flat porch roofs, soffit boxes and satellite dish brackets. We walk around the property first, noting where birds land and where droppings gather, so the proofing we propose matches the real pattern. Dishes, aerials and satellite brackets are easy perches for birds, and a small deterrent fitted to the top edge can stop them.
Often one household notices the mess and the neighbours do not, so we try to keep recommendations proportionate and tidy. All work is carried out lawfully, because wild birds are protected, and we avoid methods that could trap or injure them. Free advice on cleaning droppings is included, and prices are fixed before we start. Where several houses share a roofline, it makes sense for neighbours to talk, since birds will move to the nearest free spot.
They can. A dish bracket gives pigeons a perch with good views, and droppings then run down the wall. Small deterrents on the favoured spots are often enough, and we can point out where during a survey. Side passages and back yards are worth checking as well, because droppings there are easily missed.
A typical house can often be done in a single visit, although it depends on access and the number of areas involved. We give an estimate of time when we agree the fixed price. If you have noticed which time of day birds arrive, mention it, as it helps us see the pattern.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.
