Problems pigeons cause
Blocked gutters
Nest material washes into gutters and downpipes, leading to overflows and damp.
Lower output
Droppings on the glass shade cells and can reduce how much electricity you generate.
Hygiene risks
Old nests and droppings can carry bacteria and bird mites.
South East England
Pigeon proofing across the South East
The South East is our busiest region, with more than sixty towns and districts covered across Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
From oast houses in Kent and Regency terraces in Brighton to new-build estates in Ashford and Basingstoke, solar panels are everywhere – and so are pigeons looking for somewhere to nest.
Gulls are a major problem along the coast, from Thanet and Folkestone to Brighton, Portsmouth and Southampton.
Many homes are period properties in conservation areas, so we keep the finish as discreet as possible.
We cover the whole region, mainland only.
The real cost of pigeons under solar panels
Pigeon droppings are acidic and can mark roof tiles, windows and paintwork. Nesting material washes into gutters and downpipes, causing overflows and damp. And droppings on the glass shade individual cells, which can reduce how much electricity your system generates.
There are health concerns too. Old nests and droppings can carry bacteria, fungi and bird mites, which is why we always clean and treat the area before the mesh goes on.

We do the rest
We clear, clean and proof your panels, usually in a single visit.
Will proofing affect my panels?
No. The mesh is fixed with plastic-coated clips that attach to the panel frames, so nothing is drilled into the panels or the roof. Your panel, inverter and roof warranties are not affected.
If your panels ever need servicing or replacing, the mesh can be unclipped and refitted afterwards.
South East England pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover the islands?
We cover the mainland only – not the Isle of Wight, Hayling Island or the Isle of Sheppey.
Do you deal with gulls?
Yes – the mesh stops any bird getting under your panels.
How long does the job take?
Most homes are finished in a single visit. Larger arrays, panels across several roof slopes or properties that need scaffolding can take a little longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect when we quote.
Is the mesh visible from the street?
Hardly. It is fitted tight under the edge of the panels and is designed to be as discreet as possible, so most people can’t tell it is there.
Can you proof panels on a flat roof?
Yes. Panels on frames on flat roofs and extensions can be proofed by fitting mesh around the frame so birds can’t get underneath.
How much does pigeon proofing cost in South East England?
Most homes in South East England pay between £350 and £1,200. The price depends on how many panels you have, how they are laid out and how easy the roof is to reach. Send us a few photos and we’ll give you a fixed, no-obligation price.
Can I just use spikes or a fake owl?
Unfortunately not. Spikes stop birds landing on edges but don’t stop them walking under the panels, and decoys only work for a short time. Mesh is the only reliable way to keep pigeons out.
Proofing neighbouring homes together
On streets where several houses have solar panels, pigeons often move from one roof to the next. Proofing one home can simply push the birds next door.
If your neighbours have the same problem, it’s worth proofing at the same time. Each household is quoted separately from its own photos.
Clear, fixed pricing
Pigeon proofing usually costs between £350 and £1,200 for a home. Because every roof is different, we don’t guess – we price from your photos.
- No obligation to go ahead
- Everything included: nests out, clean, treat, proof
- No surprise extras on the day
Bungalows and garages with panels are often quicker to proof, which can help keep the cost down.
Backed by a 10-year guarantee
