Pigeons and solar panels in Maidenhead
Maidenhead is a Thames-side town with Victorian and Edwardian homes, suburbs such as Furze Platt, Pinkneys Green and Cox Green, and villages including Cookham, Bray and Holyport.
The river and town centre support plenty of pigeons, and solar panels on homes are a favourite nest site.
Larger homes often have substantial arrays, which we proof with mesh cut to fit on site.
We cover the town and nearby villages.
Why pigeons choose solar panels
Pigeons look for three things in a nest site: shelter from the weather, protection from predators and somewhere close to food. The gap under a solar array gives them all three, which is why it has become one of their favourite places to nest on UK homes.
Unlike many birds, pigeons don’t migrate and can breed for most of the year. A pair that settles under your panels may raise several broods in a single year, adding fresh twigs and droppings to the same nest each time.
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.
Pigeon proofing prices in Maidenhead
A typical job costs between £350 and £1,200. Small arrays on two-storey houses are usually at the lower end, while large arrays or tall roofs cost more.

If your neighbours have pigeons too, it’s often worth proofing both roofs at the same visit.
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.

Maidenhead pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover Cookham and Bray?
Yes – along with Holyport, Cox Green, Furze Platt and Pinkneys Green.
Can you do a large array?
Yes – we price from your photos.
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.
