British Bird Control Anmeldelser 

After months of annoyance and frustration with pigeons nesting under my solar panels, Barney and John from British Bird Control arrived yesterday and sorted them out by clearing away all the mess and fitting strong metal mesh to the gap between the tiles and panels. Very efficient, no sign of the pests today, such a relief. The service provided was very impressive, from my first enquiry to the installation. Guaranteed for 10 years too. Thank you!

Great communication and service. We had a problem with pigeons nesting under our solar panels causing noise and mess around the house. Having contacted the team we promptly received a reply that was detailed yet clear to a non expert. We sent some pictures and received a quote. After booking and paying a deposit we received a fitting date. The team turned up on time, we're helpful, friendly and polite. They worked quickly, efficiently and cleanly making sure everything was left immaculate with no trace of them being here. The difference is remarkable, almost immediately the droppings around the house stopped and within 2 days the pigeons stopped visiting the roof and the noise has gone. The meshwork around the panels is not intrusive, in fact I think it helps to visually tie in the panels to the roof.
I would recommend the team at British Bird Control without hesitation (in fact I already have). I have no connection with this company apart from being a happy customer.

I am very happy to recommend this company. From start to finish I was dealt with in an efficient and courteous manner from all I came into contact with. The quote was based on satellite images and was adhered to. There was a few weeks wait, but options were given the week beforehand for a time convenient for me. The fitting team (Callum and Dan) were polite, explained clearly what they were going to do and did a first-class job. The mesh is robust and backed by a 10 year warranty. They tidied up afterwards and left the property in a clean state. Overall really pleased.

I have been blown away by just how good British Bird Control have been. We found them online & asked them to quote to pigeon-proof our solar panels. We rapidly received a very detailed response which gave us great confidence in both them as a Company & their high quality approach. When we then instructed them the whole process was the ultimate in professionalism & efficiency. They gave us an expected week for installation & said they would confirm 2 weeks before. Exactly 2 weeks before they confirmed which day & time that week they would be on site. They then arrived bang on time, 2 of the nicest, most professional engineers that you could wish for. They completed a superb job, kept us informed at all times & cleared up so well that our drive was tidier than before they arrived! Everything was done to the highest standards & exactly as they had promised. And all for a price that we felt was tremendous value for money. We had been expecting the quote to be double & we’re then suspicious that it was so inexpensive. But we need not have worried. In short we have never been more impressed by any company…

British Bird Control (or BBC as I like to call them) are simply the BEST company to use when dealing with Solar Panel Installations with PIGEON problems. Let me explain why:

I had 24 solar panels installed on my 'L' shaped detached house, last August (over 3 roofs, East, West and South).

The 'bird proofing' used by the solar panel installer simply wasn't working; some of the strips of plastic 'fingers' kept falling off the solar panel edges, so pigeons could get underneath the panel arrays whenever they felt like it.

Plagued by pigeons over all 3 roofs, I eventually found British Bird Control's website and contacted Dave Campbell (my regional controller), who was absolutely fantastic - he knows what he's talking about, has excellent trained staff and products that actually WORK!

Their steel cage around each of the panel groups is now completely impossible for the pigeons to get into. The job was neatly done: Mason and Shane did my installation, they were polite, accommodating and tidy. The cost was very reasonable and worth every penny.

Because the pigeons had enjoyed 6 months of easy access to my solar panels, they became habituated to using my roof as a cosy place of shelter (we appear to have loads of pigeons on my housing estate).

Although most had given up, there were still a number of pigeons 'stupid' enough to keep trying to get inside the cages; they also took to sitting on the top edge of the panel arrays, turning around and making a mess on them!

So, I got Dave's chaps back in to install spikes on top of each panel group - so now they can't sit on them and foul the panels. Again, a neat and reasonably priced solution.

Was that the end of the story? No, because a number of them still congregated near the East chimney stack at dusk - for shelter at night - then made a nuisance clattering around the roof in the morning before flying away. And then they'd come back again in the day (like a bunch of hooligans). Honestly!

That made me think I'd need to get Dave to give me another quote for pigeon netting on both the East/West roofs, with added spikes on the chimney.

**Update** But since writing this review last week, it now appears nearly all the pigeons have stopped congregating, except for a few who still wander along the top apex of the roof. So maybe I won't need pigeon netting after all. Clearly, more patience was needed on my part.

So, in summary, if you have a solar panel pigeon problem, you really need to contact Dave and his team - I am sure that they will sort you out. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.

We would highly recommend this company, work all quoted for with no hidden extras. A complete description of the work to be done was given with the quote. Slight delay due to employees with Covid and the stormy weather, but carried out when they said very efficiently and competently by two very nice employees who explained everything they would be doing and fully carried it out. Cleaned out all the bird poo in the gutters as well and gave the solar panels a cleaning. Prompt balance payment taken when the work was completed and 10 year guarantee received. We are very satisfied customers!

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

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.

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.

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. 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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

We had a real problem with pigeons nesting under our solar panels. There was a lot of guano and other mess, coupled with the solar panels becoming inefficient due to the amount of guano, so it needed dealing with. British Bird Control were very efficient, friendly and easy to deal with all the way along the process, including the team that came to do the work. Really pleased with the outcome, no more nesting and no more mess. We thought the price charged was fair and reasonable too.

Many thanks to the whole team.

The team did a great job. Very efficiently carried out. Clear explanation of what would be done and what to expect after job completed. The office kept us informed throughout. Thoroughly recommend this company.

I wanted to do things right and contacted British Bird Control based on their ethics and their awards. Weather got in the way and my project was delayed on a few occasions, never-the-less, the regional manager kept in constant contact via email text and phone calls. He kept re-assigning new dates and having his team stop by the house to check at every good weather opportunity. His teams were always on time and a pleasure to meet. The work was completed last week and my pigeon invasion problem has almost completely vanished. I do see the odd pigeon returning to my solar panels for a look round, but they can no longer get in. My gutters are clear and the front yard is dropping-free ( I used to have to rinse it down every day)
I would highly recommend this company for getting it right first time. Thanks

This company is excellent they keep you informed of when they are coming at all times. The job was done efficiently and looks unobtrusive and at a competitive price, and no pigeons!
