Protect Your Property with Professional Bird Control

Bird control netting is a versatile, humane and highly effective way to protect buildings and structures from pest birds. At Tidal NW, we provide expert netting installations that prevent birds such as pigeons, gulls from roosting, nesting or fouling surfaces—while preserving the look and integrity of your property.

We install high‑quality, UV‑stabilised polyethylene or similar netting materials, available in different mesh sizes to match the bird species being deterred. The netting is tensioned across stainless steel wire supports and securely fixed with durable, weather‑resistant fixings. This creates a physical barrier that birds cannot penetrate, for areas such as roofs, loading bays, eaves, façades, signage, beams and other vulnerable entry points.

Protect Your Property with Bird Spikes

At Tidal NW, our bird spiking service offers an effective, humane solution for stopping pest birds—such as pigeons, gulls, and other roosting species—from settling on your property. Bird spikes are installed along ledges, parapets, signs, gutters, beams and other exposed surfaces where birds perch, nest or leave droppings. Unlike lethal methods, spiking deters without harming animals, making it a favoured option under UK wildlife legislation.

We use high‑quality materials—stainless steel or UV‑stable polycarbonate bases—that are durable in all weather conditions. Proper installation includes surface preparation (cleaning away old waste, debris, moss), correctly fixing the spikes via adhesive or mechanical fasteners, and ensuring no gaps that birds could exploit.

Benefits include reduced maintenance (since bird droppings, nest debris, and soiling are minimised), protection of building fabric from acidic droppings, improved hygiene, and preserving aesthetics. Spiking is discreet: well‑designed systems are low‑profile and often invisible from ground level. With correct specification and professional fit, bird spikes deliver long‑term control with minimal upkeep.

Effective Bird Management Without Structural Changes

At Tidal NW, we offer advanced Fire Gel installations — a discrete, humane and highly effective solution for bird deterrence where traditional methods like spikes or netting are unsuitable. The fire gel system uses UV‑reactive optical gel placed in low‑profile dishes across vulnerable areas such as ledges, parapets, signs, roof lines, beams and other structures.
 
To humans, the gel looks like an innocuous orange or clear compound, but pest birds perceive it as “flames” thanks to its UV‐reflective properties. Combined with the gel’s sticky texture and subtle scent derived from natural oils, this multi‑sensory deterrent causes birds to avoid treated areas. The product is non‑toxic, food‑grade, and safe for both people and buildings.
