Pigeon proofing in Bedford
Bedford sits on the River Great Ouse, with Victorian streets near the centre, inter-war suburbs and fast-growing new communities such as Wixams, Biddenham and Great Denham on the edge of town.
Riverside and town-centre pigeons spread into the surrounding estates, and the many new homes with solar panels give them plenty of sheltered places to nest. Out in the villages, wood pigeons from the surrounding fields do the same.
Most of the jobs we do in Bedford start with a homeowner hearing noise on the roof or finding twigs and droppings under the panels. The sooner we’re called, the smaller the clear-out and the cheaper the job.

Proofing for landlords and letting agents
Pigeons under solar panels are a common complaint from tenants, and the noise and mess can quickly sour a tenancy. We work with landlords, letting agents and housing associations to sort the problem with as little disruption as possible.
Once you approve the quote, we can arrange access directly with your tenant and send you photos of the finished job.
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.
How it works
What happens on the day
1
Safe access
We set up ladders and roof access equipment – or scaffolding if your roof needs it – before any work begins.
2
Clear-out
Nests, debris and droppings are removed from under every panel, and gutters around the array are cleared.
3
Treatment
A biocide treatment is applied to make the area hygienic and deal with any mites.
4
Proofing
Mesh is fitted around the whole array with plastic-coated clips, then we tidy up and show you the finished job.
What affects the price in Bedford?
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.
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.
Bedford pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover Kempston and Wixams?
Yes – along with Biddenham, Brickhill, Bromham, Clapham, Sharnbrook and the villages around Bedford. We also cover Luton and Milton Keynes.
My home is a new build – will the developer’s warranty be affected?
No. The mesh clips to the panel frames and nothing is drilled into the roof, so your new-build, panel and roof warranties are unaffected.
Is it safe for the birds?
Yes. We never harm the birds and never use poison. They are encouraged away and simply can’t get back under the panels once the mesh is fitted.
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.
