Price guide

Average cost of pigeon proofing solar panels in the UK

In the UK, the average cost of pigeon proofing solar panels typically ranges between £350 and £1,200. Below is a general pricing guide for UK properties.

Property Type	Estimated Cost
Small solar panel system	£350 – £500
Medium-sized residential system	£500 – £800
Large solar panel installation	£800 – £1,200+

Homes with larger solar installations usually need more pigeon-proof mesh and installation time, which increases labour and material costs. The height and accessibility of the roof, and the severity of the pigeon infestation, also play a role in the final price.

Professional pigeon proofing usually includes removing nests, cleaning up bird droppings and checking for any damage caused by pigeons living under the panels. Investing in it now can help you avoid more expensive repairs later – including damaged wiring, blocked gutters and reduced solar panel performance.

Cost factors

What affects the cost of pigeon proofing solar panels?

Several things influence the price of a pigeon proofing job:

Size of the system

Larger solar panel systems need more mesh and more installation time.

Roof access

Difficult access – for example needing scaffolding rather than a ladder – increases labour costs.

Level of infestation

More nests and droppings mean more cleaning and removal before the proofing goes on.

Quality of mesh

High-quality mesh may cost a little more, but lasts longer and stops pigeons returning.

Yes. As part of our proofing service we clean the area under your panels and apply a biocide to get rid of bird mites and break down hardened pigeon guano.

Will pigeons return after the work is complete?

Pigeons may try to return at first, but they move on once access under the panels is blocked. If your panels are re-invaded within 10 years, we return and fix it free of charge.
