Fit pigeon mesh to solar panels

Recommended Posts

With 20/20 hindsight we should have had anti-pigeon mesh fitted when our solar panels were installed. Too late now, we have many pigeons roosting, fouling our panels and clogging up our gutter with their waste. Could anyone recommend a reliable firm to both remove our pigeons and install a mesh around the solar panels. How much do they charge?

In the end we found a really good firm to do the work: A & H Pest Control - https://www.aandhpestcontrol.co.uk/; 020 8295 3402


They used ladders, rather than expensive scaffolding, and, after clearing away all of the nests,,cleaning the panels and guttering and disinfecting, fitted really strong mesh to the panels via metal clips and wire ties (does not damage the PV cells or invalid cells' warranty). We now have a 15 year pigeon proof guarantee.


Mark and his team were very easy to deal with. They also provided helpful advice about what and what not to do and, on the day, kept us informed on progress and checked out the finished work with us. Finally they hosed down our patio, and bagged up and took away the pigeon debris.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
