Bird netting to protect your property
Birds accessing roof spaces, sheltered ledges, loading areas and courtyards can create nuisance, droppings and maintenance problems. Properly specified bird netting creates a physical barrier that can prevent access to selected areas without relying on ongoing deterrent treatments.
Where bird netting may be suitable
- Covered courtyards and light wells
- Canopies, loading bays and sheltered commercial spaces
- Roof void openings and other suitable building features
- Areas where birds regularly perch or enter, subject to a site assessment
How we approach an installation
We assess the affected area, access requirements and appropriate fixing points before recommending a netting layout. The installation should use suitable materials, be securely fitted and allow for necessary maintenance access. The final design and quotation depend on the building and site conditions.
Bird welfare and legal considerations
Wild birds, their nests and eggs have legal protections. We assess for active nests and other wildlife considerations before work begins. We will not install netting in a way that traps birds or obstructs an active nest unlawfully. Where necessary, installation must be postponed or specialist advice sought.
Bird proofing questions
Can netting stop birds entering a courtyard or roof area?
Where the layout is suitable, correctly fitted netting can form an effective physical exclusion barrier. We will assess the site before recommending it.
Can you provide a price?
Yes. Pricing depends on the size, height, access and fixing requirements. Contact us with photographs and the approximate dimensions for an initial discussion.
What if birds are already nesting?
We must check the relevant wildlife protections first. Active nests must not be disturbed unlawfully, so the work may need to wait.
