Stop birds landing and roosting
Bird spikes and wire systems stop pigeons and gulls getting a foothold on ledges, sills, signs, beams and parapets. No footing means no roosting, no nesting and no droppings below.
Humane and effective
Despite the name, bird spikes don’t harm birds. The blunt-tipped spikes simply stop them landing comfortably, so they move elsewhere.
Where we fit spikes and wire
- Window sills and ledges
- Shop signs and canopies
- Parapets, gutters and roof ridges
- Beams and girders inside warehouses and barns
- Chimney pots and lamp posts
- Statues, carvings and architectural features
Spikes or wire?
Spikes are ideal for narrow ledges and signs. On historic buildings and wider ledges, low-profile wire systems can be more discreet. We’ll recommend the best option after a quick survey.
Clean first, then proof
If the area is already fouled, we clean and sanitise it before fitting spikes – see guano cleaning. For enclosed areas, bird netting may be the better choice.
Bird Spikes: frequently asked questions
Do bird spikes hurt birds?
No. The spikes are blunt and simply stop birds landing comfortably.
Do spikes work for gulls?
Yes, with the right spike length. For gulls nesting on flat roofs, netting or wire may work better.
Can you fit spikes on a tenement window ledge?
Yes. We'll let you know if special access is needed.
