Specialist protection for solar panels
Stop pigeons and nesting birds getting underneath your panels.
The gap beneath a solar array is warm, dry and hard for predators to reach — which makes it exactly the kind of spot pigeons look for when nesting. Left alone, that usually means droppings on the roof and guttering, nesting material building up under the panels, and birds returning to the same spot year after year.

Bird proofing around solar arrays is a specialist focus for the providers we connect you with — the access points and installation quirks are different from a typical roof job.
Mesh creates a physical barrier around the panel perimeter rather than relying on spikes, gel or noise deterrents that birds often get used to.
You'll be told what's been found, what's recommended and what it involves before anything goes ahead.
Coverage across West, South, North and East Yorkshire, for homes, landlords and commercial properties alike.
Solar panels create a sheltered gap between the panel and the roof. That space can provide protection from wind, rain and predators, making it attractive to pigeons looking for a nesting site.
The usual method is to install a strong mesh barrier around the exposed perimeter of the array. This closes the access gap while allowing air to continue moving around the panels.
A suitable system should be installed with the solar equipment in mind. Providers use bird-proofing methods intended for solar arrays and avoid drilling into the panels themselves.
A provider can assess active bird problems and determine what removal and clearance work is appropriate before proofing the array. Nesting birds and active nests can be subject to wildlife protections, so timing and circumstances matter.
Where access and conditions allow, nest material and accumulated debris can be cleared as part of the work. The provider will explain what can reasonably be removed after assessing the roof.
Yes. Providers can assess bird problems on larger commercial arrays and recommend a practical perimeter-proofing approach based on the site, roof type and panel layout.
Providers cover a wide area including Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Rotherham, Halifax, York, Hull and Whitby, as well as surrounding locations.
