Oxfordshire
Pigeon proofing across Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire combines the city of Oxford with market towns such as Banbury, Bicester, Abingdon, Witney, Didcot, Wantage and Henley-on-Thames, and Cotswold villages in the west.
Arable farmland supports large numbers of wood pigeons, and solar panels on homes, barns and new estates are a favourite nest site.
Large new developments around Bicester, Didcot and Witney have added many solar roofs.
We cover the whole county.
Rural properties often have panels on barns, stables and garages as well as the house. Send photos of each building and we’ll quote for everything together.
Mesh vs other deterrents
Bird spikes
Stop perching on edges, but pigeons still walk underneath the panels.
Fake owls and scarers
Work for days at best before birds learn they are harmless.
Solar panel mesh
Closes the gap completely, so there is nowhere left to nest.
What’s included in every job
There are no hidden extras. The price you are quoted covers the full clear-out, treatment and proofing.
- Safe roof access, planned in advance
- Removal of all nests and debris
- Biocide treatment for mites and guano
- Mesh cut to fit your array on site
- Clean-up of gutters around the panels
- 10-year guarantee
Feral pigeons and wood pigeons
Two kinds of pigeon cause most of the problems we see. Feral pigeons – the grey birds found in towns and cities – nest in large numbers and breed almost all year. Wood pigeons, which are bigger with a white patch on the neck, spread in from fields and gardens.
Both will nest under solar panels, both leave the same mess behind, and both are kept out by the same mesh barrier.
Wildlife law and active nests
All wild birds and their active nests are protected under UK wildlife law. If we find eggs or chicks, we never simply remove them – we plan the work around them, usually proofing the rest of the array and returning to finish once the young have fledged.
This keeps the job legal and humane, and it is one more reason to deal with pigeons early in the season.
Oxfordshire pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover Banbury and Bicester?
Yes – along with Abingdon, Witney, Didcot, Wantage, Thame and Henley.
Is mesh suitable for Cotswold stone homes?
Yes – it clips to the panels, not the roof.
Do you cover nearby towns as well as Oxfordshire?
Yes. We cover Oxfordshire and all the surrounding towns and villages. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we’ll confirm.
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 Oxfordshire?
Most homes in Oxfordshire 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.
Panels on garages, extensions and outbuildings
Solar arrays on garages, flat-roofed extensions and outbuildings are just as attractive to pigeons as those on the main roof – sometimes more, because they are quieter.
We proof them in the same way. If you have panels in more than one place, include photos of each and we’ll quote for them together.
