Pesky Panel Pigeons
After looking at several quality companies with the proper accreditations to their name and customer reviews to back that up, I decided to employ the services of British Bird Control. I sent off for a quote and had a 5 paragraph email from Garath Purnell explaining the entire process and what work the team who would attended on the day would be doing. After a lengthy wait due to a high volume of work and having to wait for more work to be gathered in my area, which from a business since makes total sense. Following images of our panels and the front elevation so as the team could work out a quote from the day came when the two operatives attended and within a hour or so had removed most of the nests and the pigeon mess from off of the tiles, using our garden hose plus theirs. The solar panel "fence" that is secured to the panels without any screws looks great. Thanks to BBC for their work and professionalisum throughout the process. Mr R B

Satisfaction with the work carried out…
I'm very satisfied with the work carried out on my roof. The team were polite, efficient and punctual. I had to leave during the work and was impressed that everything was neat and tidy upon my return, plus my side gate had been locked as requested. I would have no hesitation in recommending your company.

Solar panel proofing
This company, and especially the team which came today, have been wonderful. They didnt stop working from the time they arrived and were polite and thoughtful. All panels washed clean, gutters cleared out and everything left tidy and clean. The explanation on completion was helpful. Watching them on the roof was a bit scarey for me. I hope, and believe, that the wretched pigeons will stop roosting under the solar panels, filling the gutters with poop and nesting material and cooing from the early hours. Company communications were good and sensible explanations for delay (weather) and rearranged visit. Excellent.

Mesh around my solar panels
British Bird Control did a great job, very professional, in putting metal frames around the sides of my solar panels and dispersing the birds that were nesting underneath the panels. The birds cannot return now. They also re-connected a down pipe on my guttering which had come apart in the recent storm.

Extremely efficient service
Extremely efficient service. The fitting team did a very professional job of fitting the bird guards, leaving the solar panels, roofspace and gutters, clean from debris and detritis from the pigeons. Would highly recommend.

Ask about VAT!
The work was completed with no problems, it was a tight decision to have this done as its not cheap, I was surprised when the invoice arrived with the quoted amount plus vat! It was never mentioned that the price was plus vat. Wouldn't have had it done for £540. Just be aware that if you have no nests and clean gutters you are paying a lot for services you wont need. Wish I'd shopped around a bit more, my fault.

Oh boy
Oh boy. So pleased I had the mesh installed. There’s a world of difference between how my patio was before (yuk) and how it is now. Have already recommended this company to a friend. No more nesting material clogging the gutters after heavy rain.

Pigeons nesting under solar panels
We had pigeons nesting under our solar panels, and had a few quotes to get them bird proofed, but some companies wanted to use scaffold at great cost and screw into the frames, which risks damaging the actual solar panels. British Bird Control provided a competitive quote, very promptly with no scaffold and a 10 year warranty. The original planned date did slip due to weather, but on the revised date the team arrived promptly and were very friendly and efficient. They fully explained afterwards what they had found. After 2 weeks we still get a few pigeons looking all round the panels but they can't get under them, so don't stay very long, and I'm hoping they will give up completely soon.

Recommended with confidence.
British Bird Control is a company subsiduary of Pest Professionals which in turn is part of Cimex Lectularius Ltd. this does not make checking up on them for their registration with BPCA (British Pest Control Association) very easy. Nevertheless, I can recommend them for their professional approach to the work. the operatives we had were polite, helpful and cleaned up after the work. The company administration staff were also found to be helpful and polite.

A great job. Very professional.
The team - Michael and Paul - did a great job! Very professional, thorough and efficiently carried out the work. The office provided a clear and detailed explanation of what would be done and what to expect after the job was completed. Plus they kept us informed throughout. The positive reviews of the company on Trust Pilot and elsewhere that I'd read were accurate - and, based on our experience, I'd definitely recommend this company.
