We are specialists in solar panel pigeon proofing, bird netting, solar panel cleaning, and commercial bird control solutions. Whether you’re in a sleepy Bedfordshire village or a busy town centre in Oxford, we’ve got your property covered — literally.

Why Pigeon Proofing Is Essential for Solar Panels

Pigeons and other birds love to nest under solar panels. While it may seem harmless, the consequences are serious:

Damage to wiring
Reduced solar efficiency due to droppings and debris
Blocked drainage causing roof leaks
Fire risk from bird nesting material near electrics
Ongoing noise and mess under panels

Our expert team fits non-invasive, long-lasting mesh barriers and clips to stop birds from nesting — without damaging your system or voiding your solar warranty.
