Solar pigeon proofing service covering Yorkshire (our services)
Solar bird mesh & bird removal service in Yorkshire
Solar bird guarding mesh installation is best left to the experts, trained and equipped to work safely with hazardous pigeon droppings and at height. Protecting your property from pigeons isn’t just about appearance; it’s about safety and keeping your solar panels in top condition. Pigeon droppings can carry harmful bacteria and micro-organisms, and inhaling contaminated dust can lead to serious illnesses such as psittacosis, salmonella, and respiratory infections if removed incorrectly.
Our fully trained technicians specialise in solar pigeon guarding and the installation of solar pigeon mesh, working safely at height with trade ladders and temporary scaffolding that meet all health and safety standards. Every job is carefully planned, risk-assessed, and supervised in line with current regulations.
We make sure all pigeon waste is collected and disposed of responsibly, minimising health risks and protecting the environment. Choosing professional solar pigeon guarding services gives you peace of mind that your solar panels, roof, gutters, and property are protected safely, legally, and effectively.
Below, you’ll find an overview of our key and optional services, with clear information on what we offer and how the work is carried out.
01.
Pigeon proofing
Our pigeon proofing service uses strong, weather-resistant steel mesh designed to provide long-lasting protection for your solar panels. We use specialist solar mesh made in the UK, not cheap imports from China like some installers use. Installation is carried out by a fully trained two-person team, using our own temporary scaffolding to ensure safety while keeping costs down. The mesh is securely fitted using specialist clips, meaning no drilling into your solar panels—unlike some companies. This ensures your system remains protected, efficient, and completely damage-free.
02.
Nest & faeces removal
Permitted under General Licence 41, we offer a specialist cleaning service beneath solar panels. This includes removing nesting materials, pigeon faeces, and, where legally allowed, young chicks that cannot yet fend for themselves. Before any cleaning is carried out, the area is treated and allowed to soak, helping to kill bacteria and mites. Access is gained by carefully lifting panels one at a time, allowing thorough cleaning beneath before each panel is safely reinstalled. This controlled method ensures only one panel is removed at any time, protecting the system while restoring cleanliness and hygiene..
03.
gutter cleaning
Pigeons nesting beneath solar panels often cause droppings, feathers, and nesting materials to wash into gutters over time. This build-up can block water flow, leading to overflowing gutters that spread bacteria and diseases commonly found in pigeon faeces. Our gutter cleaning service removes all contaminated debris, restoring your gutters to full working order and ensuring rainwater flows away safely. Due to the health risks and working at height, this task is best left to trained professionals.
Roofing Work? We Can Safely Remove & Reinstall Your Solar Panels
If your roof requires repairs, a complete replacement, or the installation of a Velux roof window, we provide a professional solar panel removal and reinstallation service to ensure the work can be carried out safely and correctly.
With over 10 years of experience installing solar PV systems on all types of roofs, we have the knowledge and expertise to safely disconnect, remove and reinstall your solar panels. Whether you need a complete solar panel system removed for a new roof or just one or two solar panels temporarily removed to allow localised roofing work, we’ve got you covered.
We regularly work alongside roofing contractors and homeowners carrying out roof repairs, new roof installations, roof tile replacements, felt and batten replacement, chimney repairs, and Velux roof window installations. If only a single solar panel needs to be removed to fit a Velux window or repair a damaged section of roof, we can complete the work quickly and professionally before reinstalling the panel once the roofing work is finished.
Choosing an experienced company is essential when removing solar panels. Incorrect removal or reinstallation can damage the mounting system, roof coverings or the solar array itself, potentially affecting performance and warranties. Our experienced team ensures your system is handled with care and reinstalled securely, ready to generate electricity as intended.
We’re a trusted company backed by genuine customer reviews and pride ourselves on providing a reliable, professional service from start to finish. Whether you’re a homeowner, roofer or property manager, we can provide a solution tailored to your project.

Solar panle cleaning.
With over 10 years of experience in the solar industry, we know that the right cleaning method is just as important as the cleaning itself. That’s why we believe in cleaning solar panels by hand, using the correct equipment and techniques to achieve the best possible results.
Unlike pressure washing, which may increase the risk of damaging components if used incorrectly, our method is designed to be gentle on your solar panels while effectively removing stubborn dirt, moss, algae and bird fouling. We also find that telescopic pole systems can struggle to remove heavily built-up moss and stubborn deposits without direct access to the panels.
For this reason, we carry out our cleaning by working directly on the roof wherever it is safe and appropriate to do so. We use specialist solar panel cleaning products, soft brushes specifically designed for solar panels, and carefully clean each panel by hand before finishing with a thorough rinse using clean water.
This hands-on approach allows us to inspect each panel as we work and deliver a high standard of cleaning that is difficult to achieve from ground level alone. When it comes to restoring heavily soiled solar panels, there’s simply no substitute for experience, attention to detail and a bit of good old-fashioned elbow grease.
Our goal is to leave your solar panels looking their best and performing efficiently while treating your solar PV system with the care and respect it deserves.

PIGEONS NESTING
Solar panels create a warm, sheltered, and predator-free environment, making them an ideal nesting location for pigeons. Once pigeons establish a nest, they tend to return repeatedly, often attracting more birds to the same roof.
Without proper pigeon proofing, nesting can continue year after year, leading to increasing levels of damage and contamination.
- Faeces
- Blocked gutters
- unwanted noise
- List Item
- Faeces on the panels
After installation
After having your solar panels professionally pigeon-proofed by our trained team, you can relax and enjoy peace of mind, knowing pigeons can no longer nest, cause damage, or create a mess.
- No more pigeons
- No more noise
- No more faeces
- No blockrd gutter
