Remarkably, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 covers each and every wild bird in the UK.
While the relevant legislation firmly prohibits removing nests, disturbing roosting birds, or deploying harmful deterrents, you still retain legal and reliable means of protecting your property from problem avian populations.

Health risks from pest birds in Nechells
Pest bird droppings silently contain a dangerous range of pathogens.
Were you aware dried pigeon guano carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory infection spreads via inhalation of contaminated dust or handling contaminated surfaces!
Initially, we need to recognise ornithosis as a major occupational hazard in places with active bird infestations.
In relation to Nechells food service and catering premises, this brings in strict legal scrutiny alongside the existing health and safety dangers of guano contamination.
In addition to health risks, bird droppings build up swiftly within gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Before getting to roost, birds congregate along ledges, parapets, and roof edges. Below them, accumulating droppings silently speeds up decay in the stonework, blocks gutters, and turns the walkways below into highly slick hazards.
Neglecting the bird nuisance at a Nechells property can invite increasing structural damage and accumulating guano, ensuring the essential installation job only gets increasingly expensive as time moves on.
Pestered by birds? Regardless of the species, our brilliant bespoke systems reliably protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from unpleasant health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Nechells
Unforgiving pigeons and seagulls create the most conspicuous damage upon Nechells’s commercial properties, seizing flat rooftops and ledges for permanent sanctuaries.
Returning with the seasons, starlings enter roof voids through openings much narrower than either species requires.
Prior before installing any fixings, our expert technicians carefully remove all guano and nest material. This step is important because dry guano creates major health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material frequently invites secondary infestations to the treated area.
Those are only a small number of the magnificent bird species we care for every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons often assemble in significant numbers across our city areas.
One pair of pigeons rears up to six annual broods. Pigeon populations increase quickly on any structure with uninterrupted ledges or unused roof voids.
As pigeons routinely come back to their established nest and roosting locations, straightforward scaring measures do not s\ucceed to disrupt this deeply ingrained behavioural pattern.
Practical pigeon control in Nechells involves physical exclusion systems that prevent landing altogether, which gently directs the birds to choose an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have spread their range inland, forming permanent nesting colonies across Nechells and the broader Midlands.
Forming dense groups on level rooftops, these noisy birds exhibit territorial behaviour during their reproductive season, which usually spans from April until August.
Since gulls are much heavier than pigeons, you need to implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than lighter pigeon control methods.
We precisely adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to meet each individual setting.
We turn away generic, mass-produced packages. Instead, we shape our guidance and your tailored solution around the distinctive architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
With each passing season, starlings come back to Nechells as troublesome pest birds.
They gain access to roof voids through more limited apertures than pigeons, taking advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Tucked away within a roof space, a starling roost accumulates vast, unwelcome quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the season.
Bird control solutions in Nechells
We systematically pick from our comprehensive range of bird control procedures, tailoring each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the size of the infestation.
Our procedure commences by assessing your site and the affected population before we propose any answers.
Guess what? Our property surveys are entirely complimentary with entirely no pressure to go ahead!
Bird netting
To achieve maximum protection, bird netting carefully secures roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses, which effectively blocks access to nesting and roosting sites.
Our company fits UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions set for individual species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless-steel anchor systems tension the fixings directly into masonry, steel or timber.
When properly fitted, netting stays almost imperceptible from ground level, delivering a extremely discreet yet practical avian deterrent.
Bird spikes
To deter birds from perching, we fit bird spikes on pipes, windowsills, signs, ledges, and parapets.
Rather than establishing a solid barrier, these systems function by creating the landing experience extremely inhospitable for the birds.
To safeguard the fine visual character of heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the ideal choice for delivering an exceptionally unobtrusive deterrent installation.
Due to its superior resilience, stainless steel makes the ideal choice for commercial or commercial settings where functional longevity in the face of severe contamination takes precedence over aesthetic considerations.
We first discover the distinctive character of your area, making sure our final product recommendation is a genuinely ideal fit.
Bird wire
By tensioning stainless steel wire between sleek posts, bird wire systems effortlessly turn exposed ledges, balconies, and roof ridges into very insecure landing surfaces.
As the most discreet deterrent, wire seamlessly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is essential, whilst also preserving historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Delivering an subtle shield, wire carefully retains the design of notable municipal and retail properties. It effectively protects period frontages where drilling for spike or netting installations is quite unthinkable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any affected surface from unwanted avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is applied within a compact dish positioned on that area.
Standing at a mere 8mm, who could ever spot it from the ground? Humans will entirely miss its presence, but your local bird population definitely won’t!
Birds see ultraviolet light, meaning this gel makes it appear the building look like it appears to be ablaze.
We encourage the birds to move during small or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through gaps in ridge tiles, open soffits, and broken fascias, starlings regularly access roof spaces.
Protecting these exposed gaps requires stainless steel mesh or specially designed vent covers, chosen specifically to suit the dimensions and species of intruder.
To guarantee compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusion procedures must be scheduled outside the active nesting period.
