Pigeon proofing in Blackburn
Blackburn is a former mill town in East Lancashire, with long rows of stone and red-brick terraces, larger Victorian villas and newer estates on the edge of town and in nearby Darwen.
Terraced streets are ideal territory for pigeons, and as more of them have gained solar panels, the birds have moved underneath. With the West Pennine Moors close by, wood pigeons from the surrounding countryside add to the numbers.
Lancashire’s wet weather makes the sheltered gap under a solar array even more attractive. Once pigeons settle there, they rarely leave on their own, which is why closing the gap with mesh is the only reliable fix.
Noise, mess and damage
The noise is usually what people notice first: scratching, wing-flapping and cooing from first light, often right above a bedroom. Then come the droppings on windows, cars and patios.
Over time, the nests themselves can cause damage – blocking gutters, trapping moisture against the roof and disturbing cables under the array. The longer birds are left, the bigger the clean-up becomes.

If your neighbours have pigeons too, it’s often worth proofing both roofs at the same visit.
Proofing neighbouring homes together
On streets where several houses have solar panels, pigeons often move from one roof to the next. Proofing one home can simply push the birds next door.
If your neighbours have the same problem, it’s worth proofing at the same time. Each household is quoted separately from its own photos.
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.
Blackburn pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover Darwen?
Yes – along with the rest of Blackburn with Darwen, Accrington, Clitheroe and the surrounding East Lancashire towns.
Can the mesh cope with Lancashire weather?
Yes. It is galvanised and non-corrosive, so it stands up to wind and rain for many years, and it’s covered by our 10-year guarantee.
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.
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.
10 years of peace of mind
Every installation comes with our 10-year guarantee. If birds find a way back in, we return at no cost.
