Pigeon guards
Discreet, humane guards that stop pigeons nesting on your roofline, gutters and solar panels.
Signs you have a pigeon problem
- Pigeons nesting under your solar panels
- Twigs and droppings blocking the gutters
- Droppings on patios, skylights and ledges
- Cooing and flapping early in the morning
- Stained render or damaged paintwork

Pigeons nesting on a roof or under solar panels bring more than mess. Their twigs and droppings block gutters and downpipes, their droppings corrode metal and stain render, and the noise starts early.
Pigeon guards are physical barriers that stop birds landing, nesting or roosting where they're not wanted. They keep birds out rather than harming them, and once fitted they need no maintenance.
We fit them to homes, blocks of flats and commercial buildings, using scaffolding or MEWPs where the work is at height.
What you get
- Stops nesting. Birds can no longer nest or roost on ledges, gutters and solar panels.
- Keeps gutters clear. No more twigs and droppings clogging gutters and downpipes.
- Protects fittings. No more acidic droppings corroding metal, staining render or damaging paintwork.
- Maintenance-free. Weatherproof, UV-resistant and rust-proof guards that need nothing once fitted.
Where we fit them
Solar panel edges, gutters, ridge tiles and dormers, chimney stacks and TV aerials, shop signs and flat roofs.
How a pigeon guards job runs
Free survey
We inspect the property to see where the birds are active, where they're nesting and what access we'll need, from rooftops and ledges to solar panels and guttering.
Clear and clean
If it's needed, we clear out nesting material, droppings and moss and disinfect the area first, so the guards go on to a clean surface.
Fit the guards
We fit the right guard for each spot: mesh, spike strips or solar panel skirts. The fixings are non-invasive, so they won't damage your roof, tiles or panels.
A discreet finish
Guards are colour-matched where possible and placed to stay out of sight from the ground. Then we take all the waste away.
Questions we're asked
How do pigeon guards work?
They're physical barriers, such as mesh, spikes or solar panel skirts, that stop birds landing, nesting or roosting on a particular spot. We place them where the birds are active, without affecting how your property works or looks.
Will the guards damage my roof or solar panels?
No. We use non-invasive fixings that won't damage your roof, tiles or panels, and guards on solar panels block access without affecting the panels' performance or airflow.
Are the guards visible from the ground?
Most are very discreet. We colour-match where possible and position them to stay out of sight from ground level.
Can you fit guards on blocks of flats or commercial buildings?
Yes. We work with landlords, housing associations, schools and commercial property owners, and use scaffolding or MEWPs to fit guards safely at height.
Do you remove existing nests and droppings first?
Yes. We clear out nesting material and disinfect the area before fitting the guards.
Active nests are protected by UK wildlife law, so if birds are nesting we may need to wait until the nesting season ends before we start.
Is pigeon proofing humane?
Yes. The guards are designed to deter birds, not harm them, and we work within UK wildlife law.
What customers say
Had a full team and they were amazing. Can not believe the difference - the roof tiles 35 years old now look brand new and the 5yr guarantee means no more moss or clogging of drain pipes. Am super happy and they cleaned up so well - and there was a lot to clear up. Windows and gutters all sparkling.
“We had a 4 man team for 2 days cleaning the exterior of the house. Every member of the team was friendly, approachable, professional and worked to a very high standard. The team turned up on-time, got their equipment set up and went to work. Couldn't be happier with the service; the attention to detail and end result speaks for itself; one of my neighbours even came round to enquire about having their house done. I highly recommend Blue Shield; you wont be disappointed.”
Checkatrade review
“2 day clean carried out on a very large residential roof. The results are outstanding and the house looks new. The team were polite and friendly and explained everything they were doing across the 2 days. Also had 2 slipped tiles and a broken tile that were all fixed too. I would highly recommend Blueshield!”
