Pigeons and solar panels in East Cheshire
East Cheshire runs from Crewe and Nantwich in the south to Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Poynton near the edge of the Peak District.
Many of the larger homes here have solar arrays, and pigeons from the surrounding farmland and towns quickly find their way underneath. Rural properties and those with outbuildings often have more than one array to protect.
Because so many homes in the area are detached and spread out, nests can build up unnoticed for a long time. Regular checks in spring and summer – and proofing at the first sign of birds – make all the difference.

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.
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 East Cheshire?
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.
What to include in your photos
A few clear photos help us give you an accurate, fixed price without a survey visit. Try to show the whole array, the edges of the panels where birds are getting in, and the height of the roof.
Photos taken from the garden, the street or an upstairs window are fine – please don’t go up on the roof yourself.
East Cheshire pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover Wilmslow and Macclesfield?
Yes – along with Crewe, Congleton, Knutsford, Sandbach, Alsager, Poynton, Alderley Edge and the villages across East Cheshire.
I have panels on my house and a barn – can you do both?
Yes. Include photos of each building and we’ll quote for them together and proof both on the same visit.
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 East Cheshire?
Most homes in East Cheshire 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.
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.
