Pigeon problems in Romford
Romford is the main town in the London Borough of Havering, with busy shopping streets surrounded by suburbs such as Gidea Park, Collier Row, Harold Wood and Harold Hill.
Lots of family homes here have solar panels, and pigeons from the town centre and the surrounding green belt are quick to move into the sheltered gap underneath. With so many semi-detached homes side by side, the birds easily move from one array to the next.
We proof homes right across Havering and into the neighbouring parts of Essex, so wherever you are on the eastern edge of London, we can help.
How it works
Our three-stage process
1
Clear
We move the birds on and take out every nest and all the mess they have left behind.
2
Clean
The area is cleaned and sanitised, including the gutters and the roof around the panels.
3
Close
Cut-to-fit galvanised mesh closes the gap between the panels and the roof so birds can’t get back underneath.
Why the problem rarely goes away on its own
Pigeons are creatures of habit. Once they have bred successfully under a solar array, they treat it as home and will keep coming back – even if you clear the nest out.
Scaring them away with noise, decoys or reflective tape rarely works for long, because the birds quickly learn there is no real threat. The only lasting answer is to remove the nests and physically close the gap so they can’t get back in.
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.
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.
New-build homes and solar panels
Many new homes now come with solar panels as standard, and pigeons often find them within months. New-build roofs tend to have few other ledges, which makes the space under the array even more appealing.
Our mesh clips to the panel frames, so it can be added to any new-build system without affecting the builder’s or the installer’s warranty.
Romford pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover Hornchurch and Upminster too?
Yes. We cover Romford and the whole of Havering, including Hornchurch, Upminster, Harold Wood, Harold Hill, Collier Row and Rainham.
Do you also work in Essex?
Yes. We cover the whole of Essex, including Brentwood, Billericay, Basildon and Chelmsford.
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.
Our guarantee
We’re confident the mesh will keep birds out, so we guarantee it for 10 years. If pigeons get back under your panels, we come back and sort it – free.
