The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act legally safeguards all wild bird within the whole of the United Kingdom.
Under the legislation, interfering with roosting birds, destroying nests, or using harmful deterrents amounts to an offence under the law. However, effective legal options still exist to protect your property against pest bird populations.

Health risks from pest birds in Bartley Green
Faeces from pest birds carry a broad range of pathogens.
Please be aware that dehydrated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a lung illness contracted by breathing in infected dust or touching soiled surfaces.
Initially, we need to recognise ornithosis as a significant occupational hazard in areas with current bird infestations.
Did you know that food and hospitality sites, guano contamination results in strict regulatory compliance in addition to critical health and safety hazards?
Aside from health risks, guano collects quickly in gutters, on roofing materials, and around drainage areas.
Birds occupy ledges, parapets, and roof edges before roosting. The resulting droppings beneath these areas increase stonework erosion, block gutters, and pose immediate slip dangers on paths below.
When you keep bird issues unsolved at a Bartley Green property, you see escalating structural damage and building guano, which steadily increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Troubled by birds? Regardless of the species, our excellent bespoke systems perfectly protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from serious health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Bartley Green
Which birds dirty Bartley Green’s commercial premises the greatest? Pigeons are the main culprits, utilising flat roofs and ledges for perfect, throughout the year roosting shelter!
Starlings present a recurring challenge, accessing roof voids through gaps that are much smaller than either species needs.
Did you know disrupted dried guano actually creates serious health risks? It certainly does, and old nests attract nasty follow-on infestations! That is why our incredible technicians carefully clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
Below is a typical selection of the varied avian species we handle on a day-to-day basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons frequently assemble in significant numbers across our urban areas.
A lone breeding pair of pigeons can produce six broods annually, which means that populations increase rapidly on any premises with sheltered ledges or uninterrupted loft spaces.
Did you know pigeons stubbornly return to the same nesting and roosting spots? Standard dispersal tactics do absolutely nothing to disrupt that loop!
Successful pigeon control in Bartley Green requires physical exclusion systems that block landing completely, encouraging the birds to relocate to another area.
Seagulls and gulls
Did you notice that herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have moved inland? They are presently nesting with success across Bartley Green and the wider Midlands!
Did you know these loud birds settle on flat roofs in crowded clusters? Take care, as they grow extremely aggressive during breeding season from April to August!
Having greater mass than pigeons, gulls require sturdy post and wire systems or heavy duty netting over the lighter deterrents employed for standard pigeon control.
Our systems for bird control for gull colonies are carefully tailored to fit each particular location.
To help you as well as possible, we adapt our guidance and your final result based on the specific roof category and colony size, avoiding any generic packages.
Starlings
We recognise starlings as a yearly pest bird within Bartley Green.
You will see they enter roof voids via smaller-sized entry points than pigeons, taking advantage of exposed ridge tiles, broken soffits, and split fascia boards.
Imagine the vast volume of waste and nesting debris a starling roost generates inside a roof space during a single season!
Bird control solutions in Bartley Green
We supply a comprehensive suite of avian management techniques, precisely adapted to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall level of the infestation.
How would we ever suggest recommendations without examining your site and the affected population first?
Every of our site surveys are fully complimentary and carries absolutely no commitment to proceed.
Bird netting
As the most thorough means of avian exclusion, bird netting successfully covers roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to prevent birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our specialist UV stable polyethylene net is precisely sized for each species, using 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless steel anchor systems fasten the fixings directly into brickwork, steel or timber.
Once accurately fitted, netting remains practically unseen from the street below, providing a extremely subtle yet very effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To entirely prevent landing surfaces, bird spikes are carefully fitted on ledges and similar surfaces parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage, pipes, and signage and other surfaces.
How do they function? They leave landing very uncomfortable as opposed to physically blocking the birds!
How do we protect valuable heritage and listed buildings discreetly? Amazing polycarbonate spikes are the perfect choice for a fully hidden defence!
Looking for total resilience in commercial areas? Durable stainless steel stands out in grimy industrial sites where handling heavy grime matters a lot more than pristine looks!
What does your location really need? We identify those distinctive details at the outset, ensuring we present your completely perfect match!
Bird wire
By using tight stainless steel wire secured between posts, bird wire systems reliably form an unsteady landing surface across level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Providing a highly unobtrusive profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It equally safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally inappropriate.
Offering an subtle defence, wire carefully retains the appearance of prominent municipal and business properties. It gracefully safeguards heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly not feasible.
Bird free gel
To shield any specified surface from nuisance avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is applied within a compact dish positioned on that area.
At a height of a mere 8mm tall, this profile stays virtually imperceptible at ground level to humans, yet your local avian population will certainly notice its presence.
Because birds see ultraviolet light, this special gel helps make the building appear to them as if it were on fire.
In instances of moderate avian presence, we employ mild discouragement to encourage their move.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and worn fascias, starlings and sparrows regularly get into roof spaces.
Need these spots secured? We install stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers matched to the gap size and bird species!
To guarantee full observance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should closely arrange any exclusion work beyond the active nesting period.
