The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 legally safeguards all UK wild birds.
Legislation strictly bans destroying nests, disrupting roosting birds, or employing unsafe methods. Happily, you nevertheless have various safe and legal options available to control nuisance bird populations effectively.

Health risks from pest birds in Bridges
Faeces from pest birds frequently contain a diverse array of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness contracted by inhaling contaminated dust or contacting tainted surfaces.
Wherever birds take over a place of work, the silent threat of ornithosis looms a serious occupational hazard.
Bridges food and hospitality operators face strict regulatory risk as well as the serious health and safety risks of guano contamination.
Disease aside, guano accumulates incredibly fast all along gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points!
Before coming to roost, birds gather along edges, parapets, and roof lines. Beneath them, accumulating debris silently accelerates decay in the stonework, clogs gutters, and transforms the walkways below into extremely slick hazards.
Ignoring bird issues at a Bridges property increases property damage, accumulates guano, and ensures your installation job costs extra the longer you delay.
Troubled by birds? No matter the species, our expert bespoke systems reliably protect you, your property, and everyone on site from nasty health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Bridges
Feral pigeons and sea birds create the most obvious damage on Bridges’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges provide them permanent roosting shelter.
As a periodic nuisance, starlings slip into roof voids through far tighter gaps than either of those species!
Our technicians regularly clean away guano and nest material ahead of installing fixings. Aroused dry guano poses urgent health hazards, and abandoned nest material quickly invites secondary infestations to the area.
Which fabulous bird species do we help manage every single day? Have a look!
Feral pigeons
Huge numbers of wild pigeons assemble throughout our busy city spaces.
Did you know pigeon pairs can hatch up to six broods annually? Their numbers grow very quickly on almost any structure with uninterrupted ledges or loft spaces!
When tackling this issue, we must understand that pigeons repeatedly return to their preferred nesting spots, which means short-term scattering measures cannot change their behaviour.
Definitive pigeon deterrence in Bridges relies upon physical barriers that stop landing entirely, gently encouraging these birds to seek other territories to call home.
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have successfully moved more inland, remaining as year-round nesting residents throughout Bridges and the surrounding Midlands.
You will see these vocal birds nesting in thick colonies on flat roofs, where they display hostile behaviour during their breeding cycle from April until August.
Gulls outweigh pigeons, mandating post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lesser deterrents adequate for pigeon control.
We customise each gull colony bird control system for the particular location.
Why accept one-size-fits-all packages? We passionately customise our advice and your ultimate solution to suit your exact roof type and colony size!
Starlings
We identify starlings as a seasonal pest bird within Bridges.
They enter roof voids through smaller apertures than pigeons, utilising open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting inside a roof space will produce significant amounts of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Bridges
We methodically choose from our wide-ranging range of bird control procedures, customising each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the scale of the infestation.
Our procedure starts by inspecting your site and the affected population before we suggest any options.
Our site assessments are completely complimentary, so you are under any obligation to go ahead.
Bird netting
As a most comprehensive approach of avian exclusion, bird netting efficiently shields roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to deny birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our business installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions specified for specific species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Through using stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are carefully tightened into masonry, steel, or timber.
Once properly fitted, the netting remains virtually hard to see from the street, offering a very discreet and successful bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
Installing bird spikes on ledging areas, low walls, window ledges, pipework, and signage takes away landing surfaces.
These operate by rendering the landing surface highly disagreeable rather than forming a tangible barrier to the birds.
As safeguarding precious heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect option because their deterrent appearance is kept virtually unseen.
For punishing industrial landscapes where surviving relentless dirt is more important than aesthetic elegance, resilient stainless steel remains the most suitable choice. It simply endures.
What is your location actually need? We identify those specific details initially, ensuring we present your completely perfect match!
Bird wire
By utilising tensioned stainless steel wire secured among posts, bird wire systems create a structurally unstable landing surface across flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Providing a very discreet profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It also protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally improper.
First, wire delivers the most subtle solution for business and public properties where appearance is important. Secondly, this choice helps protect listed sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is unsuitable.
Bird free gel
Fix the compact Bird Free gel dish onto any surface needing protection from problem bird activity.
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, ground observers will never notice this profile, yet your bird population definitely will.
Because birds see ultraviolet light, this clever gel causes the building appear as if it is completely on fire!
Where infestations are minor or moderate, we apply gentle methods to persuade the birds to relocate.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How can starlings and sparrows get into roof spaces? They enter through soffits left open, damaged fascias, and openings in ridge tiles!
Managing these ingress points involves stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, determined by the specific aperture dimensions and avian species.
How do we adhere to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We time exclusion work outside active nesting seasons!
