Signs you've got birds

  1. Birds nesting under solar panels

    Pigeons love the sheltered gap under roof-mounted solar panels. Look for feathers, twigs and cooing from the roof.

  2. Droppings building up

    Droppings on sills, paths, cars and walls under a favourite perch or ledge.

  3. Nests in eaves and chimneys

    Noise, twigs and mess from birds nesting in eaves, gutters, vents or chimneys.

  4. Blocked gutters

    Nesting material and droppings blocking gutters and drainpipes, causing overflows.

Why it's worth acting fast

Bird droppings are acidic and can damage stonework, roofs and car paint. They can also carry germs, and they make paths slippery.

Nests can block gutters, vents and flues. Under solar panels they can damage cabling and hold debris against the roof.

How we raid birds

  1. Raid.

    Your Raider surveys where birds are landing and nesting, and gives you a free quote for proofing that suits your building.

  2. Remove.

    We fit proofing to stop birds settling. Depending on the spot, that can include solar panel mesh, netting or spikes.

  3. Relax.

    Your work is guaranteed. If birds get back in where we've proofed, we'll come back and put it right at no extra cost.

Birds: your questions answered

Wild birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law, so an active nest usually can't be disturbed. Your Raider will advise what's allowed, and can proof the area so birds can't nest there again.

Yes. Solar panel bird proofing is one of the most common jobs we see. A mesh around the edge of the panels stops pigeons getting underneath.

No. Proofing like mesh, netting and spikes simply stops birds landing or getting in. It doesn't hurt them.

Yes. We can advise on proofing to stop gulls nesting and roosting on your roof.
