Why Nottingham Properties Need Bird Proofing for Solar Panels

Understanding Urban Bird Behaviour and Solar Panel Risks

Nottingham, like many urban centres in the UK, has a significant population of pigeons and similar birds that thrive around rooftops and solar panels. Once a few find shelter under a set of panels, others are quick to follow, creating colonies that can stay for years.

Besides the mess and noise, their presence accelerates wear on both your panels and your roofing. The cumulative effect? Decreased panel output, increased maintenance costs, and ongoing disturbance. This is why a preventative approach to bird proofing is essential for solar panel owners in Nottingham and nearby towns.

Keeping Birds Out: Our Proven Approach

Our bird proofing process begins with a full inspection of your property. We look at the age, tilt, and setup of your panels before custom-fitting our mesh barrier. This tailored approach allows us to block every potential entry point while maintaining airflow and access for future maintenance.

We also offer optional extras such as gutter guards and pigeon spike strips for high-traffic areas, helping to keep birds away from other parts of your roof. The result is a system that works both now and in the future, giving you peace of mind without repeated call-outs or hidden maintenance costs.
