We work across Brighton and Hove, from the Regency terraces on the seafront and in Kemp Town to the shops, offices and student houses around the Lanes and the city centre, and out to Portslade, Rottingdean and Saltdean. We also cover the rest of East Sussex.
In Brighton, bird control means dealing with gulls on the seafront and pigeons in the city centre. JR Bird Management deals with both, for landlords, homeowners, shops and offices, starting with a free survey.
The same building can have gulls on the roof and pigeons on the ledges below. The Lanes and North Laine are packed with small shops whose signs and canopies give pigeons a perch right above the customers, while Hove's wide avenues are lined with large houses and mansion blocks.
Basement light wells, the narrow gaps between terraced houses and the balconies of converted flats are where Brighton's pigeons nest out of sight. A net across the opening closes them off, and the netting we use stands up to years of sea air.
Herring gulls are part of life on the Brighton seafront, and many nest on the city's rooftops every spring. Seagull spike installation in Brighton targets the places they choose to nest: chimney pots, the valleys between roof slopes and the parapets along the tops of the terraces.
A net that has come loose at one corner is as good as no net at all once the gulls find it. We repair bird netting in Brighton and Hove, re-fixing loose edges and replacing torn panels, so the balcony or roof terrace is sealed again.
Regency and Victorian facades deserve careful treatment. Along cornices, parapets and bay windows we use low-profile bird proofing, so the building keeps its character and the birds move on.
Pigeon spikes stop birds landing on window sills, signs, parapets and the decorative ledges found on so many of Brighton's period buildings. We fit pigeon spikes in Brighton neatly along each ledge, so they deter birds without becoming an eyesore.
Cornices and sills stained by droppings are a familiar sight in the city. Ledge protection removes the perch, and we match the method to the building, from a slim spike strip to a near-invisible wire.
Outdoor seating, bin stores and shop canopies draw gulls looking for food, and pigeons wait on the ledges above. Taking away the perches over a terrace or doorway cuts down the mess your customers walk through.
Flat roofs on Brighton's terraces and extensions often carry solar panels raised on frames, which leaves a wide gap underneath. Pigeons move in quickly, so we close the gap with mesh to stop them nesting and to protect the cables and the panels' output.
