What makes the gap under panels so attractive
To a pigeon, a solar array is a ready-made roof over its head. The panels keep off the rain, block the wind and hide the nest from crows, magpies and cats – and they sit on a warm roof that holds the heat of the day.
Once a pair has found a spot like this, they are very reluctant to give it up. They return to the same nest year after year, and young birds raised there often come back to nest close by.
Huntingdonshire
Pigeon proofing across Huntingdonshire
Huntingdonshire is a largely rural district of Cambridgeshire, with growing market towns such as St Neots, St Ives and Huntingdon surrounded by farmland and villages.
Farmland pigeons are quick to find solar panels on homes and outbuildings, and the problem tends to grow each breeding season if it is left alone. In the towns, new estates such as Loves Farm in St Neots and the developments around Huntingdon have added many more solar roofs for birds to choose from.
Whether your panels are on a family home, a bungalow or a barn, we can clear the nests, treat the area and fit a mesh barrier that keeps birds out for good.
What affects the price in Huntingdonshire?
Most homeowners pay £350–£1,200. We work out your exact price from your photos, based on:
- The size and layout of your array
- Roof height and pitch
- Access – ladders, roof equipment or scaffolding
- The amount of mess to clear
There are no call-out fees or hidden extras – the quote is the price you pay.
How it works
How the job works
1
Survey
Your photos show us the number of panels, roof height and how much nesting material there is, so we can plan properly.
2
Removal
Birds are encouraged away humanely and nests are removed. We never use poison and never harm the birds.
3
Sanitise
We clean up the droppings and debris and apply a biocide to the area.
4
Seal
A continuous mesh barrier is clipped around the array, sealing every gap.
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.
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.
Huntingdonshire pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you work in the villages as well as the towns?
Yes. We cover the whole of Huntingdonshire, from the market towns to the smaller villages such as Kimbolton, Sawtry, Somersham and the Hemingfords.
Can you proof panels on agricultural buildings?
Yes. We proof arrays on barns, sheds and farm buildings as well as homes. Send photos of each building and we’ll quote together.
Do I need to be at home?
Only so we can get access to the outside of the property. All the work is done on the roof, so you don’t need to let us in or clear anything inside.
Does the mesh stop other birds too?
Yes. The mesh closes the gap under the panels completely, so it keeps out gulls, starlings, jackdaws and other birds as well as pigeons. It can also help keep squirrels out.
What do you do with the nests and droppings?
Everything is bagged up and removed from your roof. We don’t leave debris in your gutters or garden, and the area is treated before the mesh goes on.
Will the mesh affect my solar panel warranty?
No. Nothing is drilled into the roof or the panels – the mesh is held in place by plastic-coated clips on the panel frames – so your warranties are unaffected.
What if there are eggs or chicks in the nest?
Active nests are protected under UK wildlife law. If we find one, we’ll explain the options – usually proofing the rest of the array and returning to finish once the young have fledged.
