Protecting your building from persistent bird problems is essential if you want to avoid damage, mess and ongoing maintenance costs. This week our team completed a specialist bird netting installation on a large commercial property in Weymouth, Dorset, designed to safeguard the client’s newly refurbished roof and keep their premises clean and problem free.
Why Commercial buildings need Bird Netting
The client contacted us after completing a major roof refurbishment. They wanted a long term bird deterrent system that would prevent gulls and pigeons from nesting and roosting on the elevated areas of the building. Our survey team visited the site to assess access, roof structure and fixing points so we could design the most effective solution.
How Helliar Pestcontrol delivered the bird proofing project
Once the survey was complete, we produced a custom bird netting design tailored to the layout and angles of the building. After approval, we had all roof stanchions and brackets manufactured to specification.
Our installation team then carried out the full works on site, including:
- Installing external brackets, roof stanchions and perimeter tensioning wires around both the elevator shaft roof and main roof.
- Running tensioning wires to connect all stanchions and create a strong supporting framework.
- Fitting the bird netting and cutting it precisely to match the contours, angles and irregular shapes of the roof.
Because every building is different, the netting was fitted section by section, ensuring a secure, tight and long lasting finish.
Bird proofing gives ongoing protection for peace of mind
Every bird netting installation we complete comes with a one year free of charge guarantee. Once the initial year is complete, the client has the option to take out an ongoing maintenance contract which includes an extended warranty and routine checks to keep the system performing at its best.

Seagulls, pigeons, and other birds begin nesting in early spring (March–April), with peak activity from May to July. Once birds settle in, they are protected under UK law, meaning nests cannot be removed until chicks have fledged.
