Pigeons and solar panels in Wrexham
Wrexham is the largest town in North Wales, with Victorian terraces near the centre, suburbs such as Borras and Gresford, and former mining villages including Rhosllanerchrugog, Ruabon and Johnstown.
Pigeons are common in the town centre, and farmland around Wrexham adds plenty of wood pigeons. Solar panels on homes give both a sheltered place to nest.
On terraced streets, birds move quickly from roof to roof, so proofing neighbouring homes together works best.
We cover the whole county borough and nearby Chester.
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.
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.
Pigeon proofing prices in Wrexham
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.
Proofing for landlords and letting agents
Pigeons under solar panels are a common complaint from tenants, and the noise and mess can quickly sour a tenancy. We work with landlords, letting agents and housing associations to sort the problem with as little disruption as possible.
Once you approve the quote, we can arrange access directly with your tenant and send you photos of the finished job.
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.
Wrexham pigeon proofing FAQs
Do you cover Chirk and Gresford?
Yes – along with Ruabon, Rhosllanerchrugog, Coedpoeth, Brymbo and the rest of the area.
Do you cover Chester too?
Yes, and the rest of Cheshire.
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.
Does the mesh stop other birds too?
Yes. The mesh closes the gap under the panels completely, so it keeps out gulls, starlings, jackdaws and other birds as well as pigeons. It can also help keep squirrels out.
What do you do with the nests and droppings?
Everything is bagged up and removed from your roof. We don’t leave debris in your gutters or garden, and the area is treated before the mesh goes on.
Will the mesh affect my solar panel warranty?
No. Nothing is drilled into the roof or the panels – the mesh is held in place by plastic-coated clips on the panel frames – so your warranties are unaffected.
What if there are eggs or chicks in the nest?
Active nests are protected under UK wildlife law. If we find one, we’ll explain the options – usually proofing the rest of the array and returning to finish once the young have fledged.
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.
