Pigeons and gulls in Worthing
Worthing is a seaside town with bungalows, Victorian terraces and family homes stretching from Goring-by-Sea through Durrington and Broadwater to Lancing and Shoreham-by-Sea.
Gulls are a major nuisance along this stretch of coast, and pigeons are common inland. Both will nest under solar panels if they can.
Bungalows are especially common here, and they’re usually quick to proof.
Our galvanised mesh withstands the salty sea air.
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.

How it works
How we proof your panels
1
Plan from your photos
We look at your photos, check the size and layout of the array and plan safe access before we arrive.
2
Remove nests and birds
Pigeons are moved on humanely and every nest, twig and dropping is cleared from under the panels by hand.
3
Clean and treat
The roof under the array is cleaned and treated with a biocide to deal with bird mites and break down guano.
4
Fit the mesh
Galvanised mesh is cut to fit and clipped to the panel frames all the way round – no drilling into your roof or panels.
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.
Wildlife law and active nests
All wild birds and their active nests are protected under UK wildlife law. If we find eggs or chicks, we never simply remove them – we plan the work around them, usually proofing the rest of the array and returning to finish once the young have fledged.
This keeps the job legal and humane, and it is one more reason to deal with pigeons early in the season.
Worthing pigeon proofing FAQs
Is it cheaper to proof a bungalow?
Often – the roof is easier to reach. We price from your photos.
Do you cover Lancing and Shoreham?
Yes – along with Goring, Durrington, Broadwater, Findon and Ferring.
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.
Clear, fixed pricing
Pigeon proofing usually costs between £350 and £1,200 for a home. Because every roof is different, we don’t guess – we price from your photos.
- No obligation to go ahead
- Everything included: nests out, clean, treat, proof
- No surprise extras on the day
Bungalows and garages with panels are often quicker to proof, which can help keep the cost down.
Backed by a 10-year guarantee
If pigeons get back under your panels within 10 years of us proofing them, we’ll come back and fix it free of charge.
