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.
Swale
Pigeon proofing in Swale
Swale is the area of north Kent around Sittingbourne and the historic market town of Faversham, with surrounding villages such as Teynham, Iwade and Newington.
Homes across the area have been adding solar panels, and pigeons from the surrounding orchards and farmland are quick to move in underneath.
New estates around Sittingbourne have rows of similar roofs where birds spread quickly.
We cover mainland Swale.
Faversham’s historic centre has many period properties, so we keep the finish discreet – the mesh is clipped to the panel frames and tucked under the edges, with nothing fixed to the roof.
What affects the price in Swale?
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.

We do the rest
We clear, clean and proof your panels, usually in a single visit.
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.

Swale pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover the Isle of Sheppey?
We cover mainland Swale, including Sittingbourne, Faversham and the surrounding villages. We don’t currently cover the Isle of Sheppey.
Do you cover Faversham?
Yes – along with Teynham, Boughton under Blean and the villages nearby.
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.
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.
