Bird Prevention
The most effective and permanent way to prevent nuisance birds from
causing a problem on a building or within an area is to exclude them completely
using a proofing solution. Daventry Roofing provides a complete range of
anti-bird measures as well as solutions manufactured for individual
requirements.
We will survey your site free of charge, and talk to the people involved to ensure that we understand your bird problem. We then complete a comprehensive report that outlines the options available to you, and specifies our recommended solution as well as detailing all the costs involved.
The proofing solution installed may be complex and require several
systems to achieve the best possible overall effect. We have a range of
products to choose from:
Netting
When installed correctly, netting systems are aesthetically pleasing and
effective at preventing the target species from gaining access to the proofed
area. Although most netting is black, we can install a variety of options
including no-flame, stone-coloured and translucent. It is important to install
the correct net for the target species – the wrong net could make your problem
worse rather than solve it. Our customers can be re-assured that our
experienced surveyors will correctly identify the target species and specify
the correct product to solve the problem.
Anti-bird Spikes
Spiking is suitable for gulls and pigeons – but it is important to choose the
correct product variation for the target species and the site. These systems
are suitable for light and heavy infestation areas and can prevent daytime
perching, night-time roosting and some nesting sites. Spikes can protect
anything from the narrowest pipe to the widest building ledges. They can also
be attached to gutters and to windows. Our spike systems are constructed
from heavy duty stainless steel, and are cut flat to prevent injury to the
birds. The spikes are fitted to a UV light protected base, ensuring that the
installed system will be effective for many years to come.
Anti-bird Wire Systems
The birdwire system is still one of the most widely used anti-perching systems
for pigeons. It is most suitable for low to medium pressure infestations. The
system is flexible, being adaptable to most situations, and offers ledge
protection at a cost lower than most other systems.
However, if installed incorrectly, or in the wrong situation, highly persistent
pigeons may find ways to overcome it. Our experienced site surveyors will
recommend this system where it is appropriate, and our fully trained
technicians will ensure that it is installed correctly.
The system is also suitable for gulls, but only when specific anti-gull
components are used.
The birdwire system can be fitted to ledges, window sills, gutters.
All stainless steel components of our bird wire systems are constructed from
heavy duty stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance.
Other Bird Mitigation Systems
There are many systems available for installation and it is important to choose
the correct range of products for the target species and situation.
Our Proofing Installation Technicians
Our proofing installation technicians are IPAF trained and certified. This
means that they are competent working at height and qualified to operate a
variety of access equipment, ensuring that any job can be accomplished safely
and with the minimum of disruption. We can also carry out installations outside
of normal working hours in order to minimise the disturbance caused.
