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.
Cheshire
Pigeon proofing across Cheshire
Cheshire combines historic towns like Chester and Nantwich with busy commuter areas around Warrington, Wilmslow and Macclesfield, salt towns such as Northwich and Middlewich, and plenty of rural homes and farms.
Pigeons from the surrounding countryside readily move into the gap under solar panels, and once they have nested they return every year. In the towns, feral pigeons spread out from busy centres into residential streets.
Many Cheshire homes are larger detached properties with big arrays, and farmhouses and barn conversions often have panels on more than one building. We proof them all the same way – clear, clean, treat and seal.
Why spikes and decoys don’t solve it
Many homeowners try bird spikes, fake owls or rotating scarers first. Spikes stop birds perching on the edge of the roof, but pigeons simply walk underneath the panels. Decoys and scarers work for a few days at best before the birds realise they are harmless.
Mesh is different. It closes the gap between the panels and the roof completely, so there is physically nowhere for a pigeon to get in.
How it works
Step by step
1
Nests out
Every nest and all the debris under the array is cleared by hand.
2
Area treated
Guano and mites are dealt with using a biocide treatment.
3
Mesh on
Galvanised mesh is clipped around the panels – nothing is drilled into your roof.
4
Checked and guaranteed
We check every edge before we leave, and the job is covered by our 10-year guarantee.
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.
Cheshire pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover rural parts of Cheshire?
Yes. We cover the towns and the countryside, including farmhouses, barn conversions and farm buildings with solar panels.
Do you cover both Cheshire East and Cheshire West?
Yes – from Crewe, Macclesfield and Wilmslow in the east to Chester, Ellesmere Port, Northwich and Winsford in the west.
Do you need to drill into my roof?
No. Everything is fixed to the panel frames with clips. We never drill into roof tiles or panels.
When is the best time to proof?
As soon as you notice birds. Pigeons breed for most of the year, so there is no off-season – but proofing before spring means fewer nests to deal with.
Will the pigeons come back?
Once the mesh is fitted there is no way for them to get under the panels, so they soon give up and move on. If they ever do get back in within 10 years, we return and fix it free of charge.
How long does the mesh last?
The mesh is galvanised and non-corrosive, so it is built to last outdoors for many years. Every installation is covered by our 10-year guarantee.
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.

How much does pigeon proofing cost in Cheshire?
Most homes pay between £350 and £1,200. The price depends on a few simple things:
- How many panels you have
- How easy the roof is to reach
- Whether scaffolding is needed
- How much nesting material needs clearing
Send a few photos and we’ll give you a fixed price – there’s no obligation.
