Why Pest Proofing Matters

Treatment Clears Pests, Proofing Keeps Them Out

Most repeat infestations happen because the gaps, holes and routes pests used were never sealed. Proofing closes them.

Lower Costs Over Time

One-off proofing work is usually far cheaper than paying for repeated treatments, repairs and damage year after year.

A Humane, Long-Term Solution

Keeping pests out means fewer need controlling in the first place. For birds in particular, proofing is often the most effective and humane answer.

Essential for Food Businesses

Food producers, restaurants and warehouses need buildings that keep pests out. Good proofing is a key part of passing audits and inspections.

Our Proofing Services

Rodent Proofing

We seal the gaps rats and mice use to get in: around pipes and cables, under doors, in damaged brickwork, broken airbricks, vents and roof edges, using materials rodents can’t chew through. Where rats are coming from the drains, our drain survey finds the fault first.

Bird Proofing

We install bird netting, spikes and other deterrents to stop pigeons and other birds roosting and nesting on roofs, ledges, gutters, signs, loading bays and chimneys.

Solar Panel Bird Proofing

Pigeons love the sheltered gap under solar panels. We fit mesh around the edges of the array to keep birds out and protect the panels and the roof beneath.

Insect Proofing and Fly Screens

Fly screens on windows and doors, and sealed gaps around frames and vents, keep flies, wasps, ladybirds and other insects out of homes, kitchens and food areas.

Loft and Roof Proofing

We seal the gaps in eaves, fascias, soffits and roof tiles that squirrels, birds and insects use to get into lofts.

Signs You Need Proofing

Pests Keep Coming Back After Treatment

If rats, mice, squirrels or insects return every season, there’s almost always an entry point that hasn’t been dealt with.

Gaps, Holes and Damaged Airbricks

Gaps around pipes, cracked airbricks, holes in soffits and rotten door frames are all ways in for pests.

Pigeons on Roofs or Under Solar Panels

Pigeons cooing on the roof, nesting material and droppings sliding off the panels, or birds regularly flying under the array.

Droppings on Ledges and Buildings

Bird droppings building up on ledges, signs, walkways and loading bays are unsightly, slippery and a hygiene risk.

Proofing Within the Law

Active Birds’ Nests

It’s illegal to damage or destroy an active wild bird’s nest. We check for active nests before any bird proofing and plan the work so no birds are trapped or harmed.

Bats

Bats and their roosts are protected by law. We check roofs and lofts for signs of bats before sealing any gaps, and never proof a building in a way that traps or excludes bats illegally.

How Our Proofing Service Works

Step 1: Get in Touch

Call us or use the form on this page. Tell us what pest you’re dealing with and where it’s getting in. If you call, we’ll take the details and send you a follow-up form through our booking system, then talk you through your options and what happens next.

Step 2: Proofing Survey

We inspect the property inside and out to find every entry point, and check for active nests or bats. For roofs, chimneys and solar panels, we can use a drone to survey without scaffolding.

Step 3: A Clear Proofing Plan

We explain what needs doing, which materials we’ll use and why, taking into account the type of building, including period and listed properties.

Step 4: Installation

We carry out the proofing work neatly and safely, making sure no pests are trapped inside, and leave the property tidy.

Step 5: Follow-Up and Ongoing Support

Domestic customers get a follow-up to check everything has worked. For businesses, farms and larger buildings, we offer service agreements with regular checks on proofing and netting.

What Affects the Cost of Pest Proofing

We price each job once we’ve seen it. The main factors are the type of pest, the number and size of entry points, access (especially roofs and solar panels), the materials needed and the size of the building. Get in touch for a clear quote.

Pest Proofing FAQs

What is pest proofing?

Pest proofing means sealing the gaps and routes pests use to get into a building, and fitting deterrents such as netting, spikes and fly screens, so they can’t get back in.

How do I stop mice and rats getting into my house?

Find and seal the entry points: gaps around pipes and cables, under doors, damaged airbricks and vents. Mice can squeeze through very small gaps, so a professional survey helps find them all.

Does bird proofing harm birds?

No. Netting, spikes and mesh stop birds landing and nesting without harming them. We check for active nests first, as they’re protected by law.

Can solar panels be bird proofed without damage?

Yes. Mesh is fitted around the edge of the array to close the gap underneath, designed to protect the panels rather than damage them.

When is the best time for bird proofing?

Ideally outside the main nesting season, and always after checking there are no active nests. Pigeons can nest year-round, so a check is needed whenever the work is done.

Do I need proofing after pest treatment?

In most cases, yes. Without sealing the way in, new pests usually move into the space the old ones left.

How much does pest proofing cost?

It depends on the pest, the number of entry points, access and the materials needed. We give you a clear quote after the survey.
