We provide professional pigeon control across South East London and North Kent, protecting your property from damage, health risks, and nuisance caused by these urban birds.

Why Pigeons Are a Problem in London & Kent

  • Health hazards from droppings: pigeon guano carries diseases such as Salmonella and Psittacosis that can spread to humans.
  • Slipping risks: droppings on pavements, balconies, and fire escapes create dangerous hazards.
  • Building damage: acidic pigeon waste erodes stonework, metal, paint, and roofing materials.
  • Blocked gutters and drains: nests can clog drainage, leading to leaks and water damage.
  • Nesting in unwanted areas: pigeons frequently roost on balconies, under solar panels, and inside loft spaces.
  • Noise and nuisance: constant cooing and flocking cause ongoing disruption in residential and commercial areas.

Pigeon Control FAQs

We address top questions to help users make informed decisions.

In London, older buildings and transport hubs offer perfect roosting sites, while in Kent, town centres and industrial estates attract large flocks. Their droppings and nests cause significant health and property risks.

In most cases, no. Pigeons are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, meaning it is illegal to destroy nests or eggs unless done under specific conditions and licences.
