In a village surrounded by countryside, pigeons use barns, sheds and older eaves as readily as houses. We assess each building and proof where birds actually settle.
Rural-edge properties usually have more outbuildings than town houses: garages, workshops, stables and storage sheds with open eaves. These offer pigeons dry roosts and nesting spots out of sight. Droppings may be found on stored items, vehicles or equipment. We check the main house and each outbuilding, then decide where proofing will do the most good. Older farm-style buildings often have timber that holds droppings, so we recommend cleaning before the roost becomes established.
With open countryside close by, birds can travel quickly between fields and roofs, so we focus on removing the sheltered places they enjoy. Wild birds are protected, so we use only lawful methods and avoid harm. Free advice and fixed prices apply, and we can arrange a visit around when you are home. Open countryside also means other birds visit, and we can only proof against pigeons and similar nuisance birds lawfully.
Often, yes. Larger open buildings need an assessment of how birds get in and where they roost. Netting, mesh or deterrents can be used, depending on use and access. A free survey sets out the options. If your outbuilding is a conversion or storage space, tell us how it is used so we can fit the work around it.
They can be soiled, and dried droppings can be unpleasant to handle. Cover or move valued items where possible, wear gloves and a mask for cleaning, and ask us for advice if the area is large. We can also check the main house roof at the same visit, to avoid birds simply moving across.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.

Ants walking in a neat line are following a scent trail. Follow it back to find the entry point, and sometimes the nest itself, before the colony settles in.
Read the advice →Pigeons return to the same ledges year after year. Physical proofing works because it removes the place to land, rather than relying on scaring birds off.
