The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 legally preserves all wild bird within the United Kingdom.
Although displacing nests, disturbing roosting flocks, or using harmful deterrents breaches the Act, you are not left unprotected. Options still remain to protect your space from intrusive pest birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Great Heath
Unwanted bird excrement typically contains a diverse selection of harmful pathogens.
Please be aware that dehydrated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a lung condition contracted by breathing in infected dust or touching soiled surfaces.
In professional environments compromised by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a clear threat to professional health.
For catering and catering firms in Great Heath, dealing with guano contamination involves complying with strict statutory standards in addition to addressing the primary health risks.
Apart from carrying disease, guano rapidly builds up inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
First, the birds congregate on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before settling. Therefore, their accumulated waste promotes stonework decay, obstructs gutters, and poses hazardous slip hazards on the paths below.
When you allow bird issues unsolved at a Great Heath property, you face progressive structural damage and building guano, which steadily increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Regardless of the particular avian species, our customised plans will successfully protect you, your property, and people in the vicinity from the various health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Great Heath
Relentless feral pigeons and seagulls inflict the most conspicuous harm upon Great Heath’s business premises, seizing flat rooftops and ledges for lasting nesting spots.
As a periodic nuisance, starlings slip into roof voids through much narrower gaps than either of those species!
Prior before installing any attachments, our professional technicians meticulously remove all guano and nest material. This preparation is important because dry guano presents major health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material regularly invites secondary infestations to the treated area.
These are only a few of the magnificent bird species we care for every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons truly enjoy to cluster in huge flocks throughout busy city centre areas!
One pigeon pair rears up to six annual broods. Pigeon populations multiply rapidly on any structure with uninterrupted ledges or vacant roof voids.
Because pigeons repeatedly go back to their usual nesting and roosting sites, surface-level dispersal methods fail to alter this well-established behaviour pattern.
Successful pigeon control in Great Heath depends on physical exclusion systems that prevent landing completely, making the birds to relocate to a different location.
Seagulls and gulls
Did you realise that herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have come inland? They are now nesting well across Great Heath and the greater Midlands!
You will notice these vocal birds nesting in large colonies on flat roofs, where they display hostile behaviour during their breeding cycle from April until August.
Due to their greater mass relative to pigeons, gulls require post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the lighter deterrents adequate for pigeon management.
We tailor every gull colony bird control system for its specific setting.
We design bespoke approaches and support specified to your roof type and colony size rather than using generic packages and bundles.
Starlings
These starlings consistently represent a yearly bird issue within the Great Heath region.
They enter roof voids through more limited apertures than pigeons, using open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Imagine the huge volume of waste and nest material a starling roost produces inside a roof space during a single season!
Bird control solutions in Great Heath
We implement a comprehensive range of bird control systems, adapting our method to the specific species, property design, and general scale of the infestation.
We do not provide suggestions before in person assessing your premises and the specific concerned population.
Each of our site surveys is completely complimentary and carries absolutely no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
To deliver complete exclusion, bird netting blankets roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This covers everything, successfully denying access to roosting and nesting sites.
We fit UV stable polyethylene net with mesh openings tailored to each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless-steel anchor systems fasten the fixings straight into brickwork, steel or timber.
Properly installed netting stays virtually unseen from the street, offering a subtle and very effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To completely remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are carefully fitted on ledges parapets and similar features, windowsills and adjacent areas, pipes and signage, and signage and other surfaces.
These function by rendering the landing surface extremely uncomfortable rather than creating a tangible barrier to the birds.
When safeguarding precious heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect option because their protective appearance is kept largely invisible.
Looking for total toughness in industrial settings? Hard-wearing stainless steel performs well in dirty industrial sites where handling heavy grime matters much more than pristine appearance!
What is your location actually need? We find those unique details at the outset, so that we present your utterly perfect match!
Bird wire
By utilising tensioned stainless steel wire secured amid posts, bird wire systems establish a unstable landing surface across flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a most discreet deterrent, wire stylishly suits business and civic architecture where visual appeal is paramount, while also safeguarding historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
In need of the ideal discreet defence? Wire is ideal for attractive commercial and civic buildings! It is brilliant for historic buildings too, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To deter nuisance bird behaviour, Bird Free gel is placed in a compact container situated on any location requiring specific protection.
At just a mere 8mm in height, it stays virtually unnoticeable from ground level whilst being easily perceived by the local bird population.
Birds can see ultraviolet light, which means this gel makes it appear the building to look like it is being ablaze.
In cases of moderate avian activity, we use gentle discouragement to prompt their move.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Typically, starlings and sparrows enter roof spaces through compromised ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Securing these ingress points involves stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, based on the specific aperture dimensions and avian species.
To safeguard wild habitats, exclusion works must be planned strictly beyond the active nesting season, in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
