Bird Control and Bird Proofing in Hastings

Hastings has a long fishing heritage, and gulls have always been part of life on the beach and in the Old Town. Today many of them nest on roofs right across the town.

Seagull spike installation in Hastings keeps them off the rooftops of the Old Town and the seafront, using spikes sized for larger birds.

Birds that nest in an enclosed space, such as a balcony, a roof valley or a light well, are best kept out with a net across the opening. Bird netting installation in Hastings seals those spaces off entirely, with the net fixed all the way round.

Years of wind off the sea can leave netting slack or split. When that happens, birds find the gap within days. We repair bird netting in Hastings, from a small tear to a whole section that has come away.

For sills, gutters and signs, a neat row of pigeon spikes is often all that is needed. They stop birds perching without causing them any harm.

Proofing one ledge at a time often just moves the birds further along the roof. Our bird proofing in Hastings starts with a survey of every spot where birds land and nest, then uses netting, spikes and wire wherever each works best.

The ornate ledges and bay windows of Victorian and Regency houses make ideal perches. We use low-profile ledge protection here, so it is hard to see from the street.

Hastings is built on steep hills, so many homes look straight down onto their neighbours' roofs, and a gull nest on one chimney can be in full view and earshot of a whole street. The slopes also make some roofs hard to reach, so we check access during the survey and include it in the quote.

If pigeons are nesting under your solar panels, you may hear scratching and cooing, or spot droppings and nesting material around the edges. Solar panel bird protection in Hastings fits mesh around the array so birds cannot get underneath, keeping the wiring safe and the panels working efficiently.
