Solar panel bird proofing in Romford

Why this matters locally

Havering’s suburban streets, Gidea Park, Hornchurch and Upminster have large numbers of similar tiled pitches. Urban pigeon pressure is higher than in rural Essex, which makes an open solar void more likely to be found and reused.

Roofs and arrays we typically see

Classic 1930s semis with clay tiles are common, along with later infill. Arrays are often on the front or rear slope facing the street, so a discreet mesh skirt matters as much as performance.

Birds and the solar void

Feral pigeons are the dominant issue. Fouling on panels and nesting under the downhill edge can also contribute to gutter problems on narrower plots where downpipes already work hard.

Access and site safety

Parking and side access vary street to street. We use ladder and harness where the building and ground allow; we will not work a roof that is not safe to reach that way.
