Pigeon droppings, known as guano, are highly acidic and can erode stonework, damage roofing materials, and ruin paintwork on vehicles. Furthermore, pigeons are known carriers of diseases such as Psittacosis and Salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans through contact with droppings or nesting materials.

As more homes in Padiham adopt renewable energy, solar panel bird proofing has become an essential service. Pigeons frequently nest underneath solar panels, where they find warmth and protection. This leads to a build-up of debris and guano that can reduce the efficiency of your system and even cause electrical faults. We use specialist mesh and clips to seal the perimeter of your panels without voiding your warranty, ensuring birds can no longer gain access.In addition to proofing, we offer specialist biohazard cleaning and decontamination services. Cleaning pigeon droppings is a hazardous task that requires professional personal protective equipment (PPE) and industrial-strength disinfectants. Our team safely removes guano and sterilises the area, eliminating the risk of airborne pathogens. This service is particularly important for balconies, fire escapes, and loft spaces where birds have previously roosted.
