Berkshire
Pigeon proofing across Berkshire
Berkshire runs along the Thames from Windsor and Maidenhead through Reading to Newbury and the West Berkshire downs, with Bracknell, Wokingham and Slough in between.
Towns support large feral pigeon populations and the countryside plenty of wood pigeons. Solar panels on homes and new estates give both a sheltered nest site.
From new-builds in Wokingham to period homes in Windsor, we adapt each job.
We cover the whole county.
West Berkshire’s rural villages and farms often have panels on barns and outbuildings, while the eastern towns have rows of similar new homes. Either way, the process is the same: clear, clean, treat and seal.

Act early to keep costs down
The sooner pigeons are dealt with, the smaller the clear-out and the lower the cost. A single nest is quick to remove; a season’s worth of nests, droppings and blocked gutters takes longer and risks damage to the roof.
If you have just noticed birds on your roof or a few twigs at the edge of the panels, now is the best time to get a quote.
How a small problem becomes a big one
It usually starts with one pair. They build a rough nest of twigs under the edge of the array and raise a couple of chicks. A few weeks later they lay again in the same place.
Each brood brings more nesting material, more droppings and more noise. Before long the space under the panels can be packed with debris, gutters start to block and neighbouring roofs begin to attract birds too.
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.
What affects the price in Berkshire?
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.
Will proofing affect my panels?
No. The mesh is fixed with plastic-coated clips that attach to the panel frames, so nothing is drilled into the panels or the roof. Your panel, inverter and roof warranties are not affected.
If your panels ever need servicing or replacing, the mesh can be unclipped and refitted afterwards.
Berkshire pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover Newbury and Thatcham?
Yes – along with the rest of West Berkshire.
Do you cover the whole county?
Yes – all six Berkshire boroughs.
Is the mesh visible from the street?
Hardly. It is fitted tight under the edge of the panels and is designed to be as discreet as possible, so most people can’t tell it is there.
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 Berkshire?
Most homes in Berkshire 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.
