The problem

When you need bird proofing

Once a hawking programme has dispersed the resident birds, the next priority is making sure they cannot return. Pigeons in particular are loyal to a roost site for life — if the ledges, parapets, atrium beams and rafters are still suitable, a new colony will replace the old one within months. Bird proofing closes off every viable landing, roosting and nesting surface in a single planned installation. Done badly, proofing looks ugly and traps birds; done well, it is invisible from ground level and lasts 15+ years.
How we deliver it

Our process

Our installer surveys every elevation, atrium, plant deck and rafter line on your site — usually with a drone for tall buildings and a MEWP for installation access. We then specify the right product for each surface: heavy polypropylene knotted netting for atriums and rafters, stainless-steel post-and-wire for ledges and signage, polycarbonate spike strips for windowsills and ridge tiles, and discreet electric track for premium frontages where appearance matters. Every fixing is colour-matched to the masonry. All installs are guaranteed for 10 years on materials and 5 years on installation. Listed-building proofing is documented for conservation officer sign-off.
