Spiking

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.
