Bird netting for flat roofs in Kent
Seagulls are a common nuisance in Kent, and they can be especially problematic for commercial and domestic properties with flat roofs.
Seagulls often nest on flat roofs, and their droppings can cause a number of problems, including:
- Health hazards: Seagull droppings can contain harmful bacteria and parasites, which can pose a health hazard to people and animals.
- Property damage: Seagull droppings can corrode metal, stain surfaces, and damage roofing materials.
- Odour: Seagull droppings have a strong odour that can be unpleasant and even nauseating.
Bird netting for commercial roofs in Kent
Warehouse roofs are a popular location for nesting seagulls.
This present s a number of problems from blocked gulleys which can cause backed-up dirty water to overspill into your premises.
Seagulls also love to destroy the black rubber seal under the centre ridge.
We can install bird netting over large expanses such as warehouse roofs to prevent seagulls from nesting.
The net system for flat roofs is also ideal to protect plant, machinery and air conditioning units.
We can design and build around almost every type of scenario on a flat roof.
Seagull netting for domestic flat roofs in Kent
Seagulls commonly nest on or behind chimneys but where there is a flat roof such as a dormer, or home extension you could easily find that your flat roof could become home to nesting seagulls.
Seagulls can be destructive pecking at asphalt or rubberised roofing material which can cause leaks.
They can also become aggressive during the nesting season once the fledglings leave the nest.
Our domestic bird netting on flat roofs works on the same principle as commercial roofs but only stands at 500mm high from your roof.
If you do not want seagulls dancing on your roof at 5AM on a Sunday morning give our expert team a call to book your installation.
