For a standard 3m × 3m balcony, professional pigeon netting installation in London typically costs around £250–£500. Larger balconies, difficult access, unusual shapes and specialist fixing requirements can increase the price. A photo of the balcony can usually help provide a more accurate estimate.
The price of a balcony can depend on several factors, including:
1. **Size**: Larger balconies generally cost more due to increased material and labor requirements.
2. **Design complexity**: Simple designs will typically be less expensive than those with elaborate features or custom elements.
3. **Location**: Costs can vary based on geographical location due to differences in labor rates and material availability.
For balconies, properly installed pigeon netting is generally the most comprehensive exclusion method because it creates a physical barrier across the entire access area, preventing pigeons from landing, roosting and nesting inside the protected space.
When correctly specified and professionally installed, bird netting is designed as a non-lethal exclusion method. It prevents birds from entering the protected area rather than harming them. Existing birds or nests should be dealt with appropriately before installation.
The best method of proofing is by installing anti-pigeon spikes .
Our stainless steel spikes provide the best prevention from landing on the window seals.
Breathing dust or water droplets containing contaminated bird droppings can lead to several diseases, including a flu-like illness called psittacosis.
Salmonella - a bacterial infection that can cause diarrhea - may also be present in some bird droppings.
We specialize in the removal of pigeon waste and droppings by wearing the correct PPE and facemasks.
Bird netting is available in black, transparent and stone colours. The most suitable colour depends on the building, background and visibility requirements. For balconies and residential properties, we can recommend the option that provides the least visual impact.
Pigeon netting works by creating a physical barrier that stops pigeons from entering an area where they normally land, roost or nest.
Professionally installed, UV-stabilised pigeon netting can typically last 8–10 years or more in UK conditions. The lifespan depends on the quality of the netting, exposure to sunlight and weather, the fixing system and installation quality. Visual inspections and maintenace are recommended
