The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act provides a statutory legal embrace around every wild bird in the UK.
Under the Act, disturbing roosting birds, destroying nests, or deploying harmful deterrents constitutes an offence. That said, robust legal options still exist to protect your property against pest bird populations.

Health risks from pest birds in Oldfield
Pest bird droppings silently contain a dangerous range of pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by inhaling contaminated dust or touching tainted surfaces.
Whenever birds take over a workplace area, the unseen threat of ornithosis hangs over a major occupational risk.
For catering and food firms in Oldfield, managing guano contamination involves working within strict statutory standards in along with addressing the key health risks.
Apart from carrying disease, guano rapidly collects inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before settling to roost, birds collect along ledging, parapets, and roof edges. Below them, accumulating droppings quietly hastens decay in the stonework, clogs gutters, and transforms the walkways below into extremely slick hazards.
When you leave bird issues untreated at a Oldfield property, you face progressive structural damage and increasing guano, which steadily increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Pestered by birds? Regardless of the species, our expert bespoke systems perfectly protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from nasty health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Oldfield
Relentless feral pigeons create the most obvious harm upon Oldfield’s commercial properties, seizing flat rooftops and ledges for lasting nesting spots.
As they return seasonally, starlings enter roof voids through openings much narrower than either species requires.
Our specialists consistently clear guano and nest material before putting in fixings. Aroused dry guano creates immediate health risks, and discarded nest material quickly draws secondary infestations to the area.
Here are some of the bird species we handle daily.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeon groups consistently assemble in substantial numbers across our city environments.
A lone breeding pair of pigeons can rear six broods annually, meaning populations escalate rapidly on any premises with quiet ledges or uninterrupted loft spaces.
These birds predictably return to long-standing breeding and roosting sites, which means temporary deterrent methods do not manage to alter their repeated behaviour.
Effective pigeon control in Oldfield involves exclusion methods that prevent landing altogether, which carefully directs the birds to choose an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Each of the herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have safely migrated inland, establishing permanent nesting populations throughout Oldfield and the greater Midlands.
Did you notice these boisterous birds roost on level roofs in crowded clusters? Be careful, as they get very territorial during mating season from April to August!
Gulls are heavier than pigeons, mandating post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lighter deterrents sufficient for pigeon control.
We carefully customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each individual setting.
We reject one-size-fits-all, identical packages. Instead, we tailor our support and your custom solution around the distinctive architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
Starling birds are a seasonal nuisance bird within Oldfield.
Entering roof voids by way of smaller entry points than pigeons would need, they capitalise on open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout the season, starlings roosting within a roof space will create a considerable amount of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Oldfield
How do we achieve outstanding results? We customise our entire suite of bird control options according to the particular species, the property type, and the size of the infestation!
No recommendation is ever actually provided until we first survey your location and evaluate the unwanted presence in person.
We offer every site survey completely free of charge, with no pressure to go ahead.
Bird netting
Searching for a ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most complete exclusion system, guarding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our method pairs UV stable polyethylene net with each species, with 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless-steel anchor systems tension the fixings directly into brickwork, steel or timber.
Check up! Expertly installed netting is barely unseen from the street, delivering an very subtle and efficient bird solution.
Bird spikes
To entirely remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are professionally fitted on ledges and similar surfaces parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage, pipes, and signage.
How do they work? They make landing very uncomfortable as opposed to physically blocking the birds!
How do we preserve precious heritage and listed buildings unobtrusively? Amazing polycarbonate spikes are the ultimate solution for a totally invisible defence!
In industrial or business settings, stainless steel provides exceptional hardiness, which makes it the ideal selection when enduring heavy dirt is favoured over aesthetic appeal.
What is your location really need? We find those distinctive details first, so that we recommend your absolute perfect match!
Bird wire
Bird wire systems stretch stainless steel wire between posts to create an unstable landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the subtle deterrent, wire seamlessly suits business and civic architecture where looks is key, while also preserving historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Offering an subtle shield, wire elegantly maintains the character of prominent public and business properties. It discreetly protects historic facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is quite unthinkable.
Bird free gel
To shield any selected spot from unwanted bird behaviour, you simply place a compact dish of Bird Free gel onto the surface.
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, those below will never notice this profile, but your bird population definitely will.
Due to avian sensitivity to ultraviolet light, this specialist gel causes the building to seem as though it were ablaze.
We prompt the birds to shift elsewhere during light or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through spaces in ridge tiles, open soffits, and worn fascias, sparrows regularly enter roof spaces.
Protecting these exposed gaps calls for stainless steel mesh or specially designed vent covers, picked precisely to suit the size and species of pest.
To preserve wild refuges, these works must be scheduled strictly outside the active nesting period, complying the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
