Bird Netting Installation London: Bowden Moss Case Study

Bird Netting Installation London: Bowden Moss Case Study

The Challenge: Protecting Entrance Canopies

Bowden Moss required professional bird proofing for two large entrance canopies at their London property. These covered entrance areas are attractive roosting and nesting sites for pigeons, particularly in urban environments where sheltered ledges are at a premium.

The canopy structure presented typical challenges for bird control. The overhead cover provides protection from weather, whilst the beams and supports offer ideal perching spots. Without intervention, pigeon activity in these areas leads to:

  • Droppings accumulating on entrance areas and walkways
  • Unhygienic conditions for staff and visitors
  • Potential damage to building fabric and fixtures
  • Ongoing cleaning and maintenance costs
  • Poor first impressions for anyone entering the building

The project was taking place during building renovation works, creating an ideal opportunity to install permanent bird control measures before problems developed.

The Solution: Stainless Steel Bird Netting

Integrated Bird Management installed professional-grade bird netting across both entrance canopies, covering a total area of 216 square metres. The installation used stainless steel fixings throughout, providing several advantages:

  • Durability: Stainless steel resists corrosion in outdoor environments, ensuring long-term reliability without degradation or maintenance issues.
  • Professional finish: The fixings provide secure anchoring whilst remaining unobtrusive, maintaining the building’s appearance.
  • Permanent protection: Unlike temporary deterrents, properly installed netting creates a physical barrier that birds cannot breach.

The netting was installed efficiently during the renovation works, integrating with the wider project timeline and avoiding the need for separate access arrangements or disruption to building operations.

Expected Benefits: Long-Term Protection

The bird netting installation at Bowden Moss is designed to provide lasting protection for both entrance canopies. Physical exclusion creates a permanent barrier that prevents pigeons from accessing roosting and nesting sites within the covered areas.

Key features of the installation:

  • 216 sqm of canopy space protected by professional-grade netting
  • Installation integrated with building renovation works
  • Durable stainless steel fixings for long-term performance
  • Discreet finish that maintains building aesthetics

Expected outcomes:

When properly installed, bird netting typically prevents bird access to protected areas, reducing the hygiene and maintenance issues associated with pigeon activity. The physical barrier approach eliminates the need for ongoing deterrent measures or repeated interventions.

This project demonstrates the practical benefits of planning bird control measures during building works rather than waiting for problems to develop. By addressing potential issues proactively, property managers can avoid the costs and complications of dealing with established bird populations.

Why Bird Netting Works for Entrance Canopies

Bird netting is particularly effective for protecting covered entrance areas and canopies:

  • Complete exclusion: The physical barrier prevents access entirely, unlike deterrents that birds may eventually overcome or ignore.
  • Large area coverage: Netting can protect substantial areas cost-effectively, making it practical for extended canopies and entrance structures.
  • Minimal visual impact: Professional installation with appropriate fixings keeps the netting discreet whilst providing total protection.
  • Low maintenance: Once installed, quality netting requires minimal upkeep, providing reliable protection year after year.
  • Weather resistant: Modern netting materials and stainless steel fixings withstand UK weather conditions without degradation.

Professional Bird Control Across London

This project showcases the practical benefits of proactive bird control planning. Installing protection during building works is more efficient than retrofitting after bird populations establish, saving time, money and disruption.
