When to Call

When to Call Us About Pigeon Guano Removal & Decontamination

  • When pigeon droppings have built up on a balcony, ledge, fire escape, or outbuilding

  • When a tenant or homeowner is reporting respiratory irritation linked to bird waste
  • Following bird-control work where the residual guano still needs sanitising
Our Approach

Our Approach

Pigeon guano carries genuine health risks — Psittacosis, Histoplasmosis, salmonella — so we treat it as a biohazard, not a cleaning job. We arrive in respirators and PPE, dampen the guano to suppress airborne particles, and remove the deposit for compliant disposal. Surfaces are then cleaned and disinfected with hospital-grade chemicals. For high-level or roof-access work we co-ordinate with a height-access partner — we don't undertake working-at-height ourselves without the right kit.

The Process

  4. STEP 04 On-site work in PPE — typical 2-8 hours depending on the area

Common Questions

Common Questions About Pigeon Guano Removal & Decontamination

Is bird waste really hazardous?
Yes. Pigeon droppings can carry Psittacosis (a respiratory disease), Histoplasmosis (a lung infection), salmonella, and E. coli. The HSE specifically warns against unprotected handling of bird waste.
Will you stop the pigeons coming back?
We're not pest controllers — we don't install netting or spikes. After the cleanup we can recommend bird-control specialists who do the deterrent work.
Can you reach a high ledge or roof?
Up to standard ladder height we handle ourselves. For roof-access work or anything requiring scaffolding or rope access, we co-ordinate with a height-access partner — flagged at quote stage.
