Gull & pigeon proofing in Bournemouth

Gulls and pigeons are part of life on the coast — but not on your roof. We proof buildings so they nest and roost somewhere else.

Gull & pigeon proofing in Bournemouth

Anyone in Bournemouth knows the problem: gulls nesting on chimneys and dormers from spring, swooping when the chicks hatch, fouling over cars and patios, and dragging bin bags open across the street. Pigeons are quieter but worse for buildings — their fouling is acidic, blocks gutters and carries disease, and a roost under solar panels or in a loft grows quickly.

Because gulls are protected, the answer is proofing, not harm: spikes on ridges and chimneys, netting over light wells and balconies, mesh around solar panels, and removal of old nesting material outside the season. We survey the building, recommend the right combination and install it neatly so it does the job without making the property look like a fortress.

Common questions about gull & pigeon proofing

Can you remove a gull nest?
Gulls and their active nests are legally protected, so timing matters. We remove old nesting material outside the season and proof the roof so they don’t rebuild in spring.
Will spikes hurt the birds?
No. Spikes, netting and mesh simply make landing and nesting spots unusable, so the birds go elsewhere. All our methods are legal and humane.
Can you proof solar panels?
Yes. Pigeons love nesting under panels. We fit discreet mesh around the edges that keeps them out without affecting the panels.
