Seagull Nest Removal

Q: How Much Does Seagull Control Cost?

The cost depends on the building, where the gulls are and what work it needs, so there is no fixed price. Bird proofing is individually quoted after assessment. If we need to visit your property to survey the problem, a survey charge may apply. Phone advice is free.

Q: What Signs Point To A Seagull Problem?

Gulls gathering or nesting on rooftops, ledges and other high spots are the clearest clue. Others include noise, droppings, mess around entrances, nesting material or debris around gutters and roof drainage, and activity near solar panels. A sign on its own is only a clue, and we look at the whole picture with you.

Q: When Can I Phone About Seagull Control?

We're open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 9pm. We're closed on Sundays. Phone advice is free. Ring 02394 190 822 in those hours to describe where the seagulls are, and we will talk through what could be done.

Q: Do You Offer Proofing Against Seagulls?

Yes. We fit bird proofing, including seagull proofing. Each job is individually quoted after assessment, because what suits one roof may not suit another. Our proofing and deterrents page gives an overview of our proofing work.

Q: Does The Time Of Year Affect Seagull Work?

It can. Seagulls often nest in the spring and summer, though the exact timing varies. What is possible at any point depends on the situation and on current licensing, and we will explain how that applies to your property. There is no single time of year we would push you towards. Phone advice is free.

Q: Does Seagull Work Follow Current Licensing?

In England, work involving seagulls has to follow current wildlife licensing. That position is not the same as the general licences that can apply to feral pigeons. What can be done, and when, depends on the circumstances, particularly if seagulls are already nesting. We will talk you through how that applies to your building. Do not disturb nests, eggs or chicks yourself.

Q: Do You Carry Out Seagull Work For Businesses?

Yes. We help at schools, warehouses, industrial sites, retail units and premises managed by property-management companies. Each site is assessed, and any proofing is individually quoted after assessment. Business customers can find more on our commercial pest control page.

Q: Why Use RS For Seagull Control?

Phone advice is free. All our technicians hold RSPH Level 2. We are NPTA Members. We're open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 9pm. We carry out seagull control and bird proofing for householders and businesses alike.

Q: Should I Disturb A Seagull Nest Myself?

No. Do not disturb nests, eggs or chicks yourself. Leave the nest as it is, note where it is and how many birds are around, and give us a call. We will explain what current licensing means for the property and what we can offer. Phone advice is free.

Charlie and Craig were amazing really reassuring, friendly and down to earth, as I worked myself into a right state, I was very scared on edge. I felt very much at ease, thank you so much on the treatment’s you provided, I can’t thank you enough! I can’t comment on the success of the treatment yet because it’s only been day 2. Again thank you, you and your team are hero’s, I couldn’t do your job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed our solar panels bird-proofed. RS Pest Control moved fast, including arranging for the erection and dismantling of scaffolding, and were very friendly and helpful when I spoke to them on the phone. Everything was done within ten days. I am very pleased.

Cam back out as we weren't happy with the service we received plus cost we paid, so appreciated the effort to make things better. Something should be mentioned from the start that all bate gets removed from 3nd visit so customer knows what to expect.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had to contact RS Pest Control and couldn't be more impressed with the service, their professionalism and responsiveness stood out. The technician arrived on time, was courteous, and took the time to expalin the process. They conducted a comprehensive inspection of my property, identifying potential problems areas. The treatment itself was effective and I apprecaited their use of safe products. The treatment has been effective and has provided peace of mind.
The communication from the entire team has been excellent.

I highly recommend RS Pest Control to anyone requiring and effective cost effcient service - customer satisfaction and quality service.

Spots Seagulls Use On Roofs And Ledges

Seagulls are drawn to rooftops, building ledges and other raised places, and that is usually where trouble starts. Noise is often the first complaint, followed by droppings and mess around entrances, gardens or outdoor working areas.

Up on the roof, nesting material and debris can collect around gutters and other roof drainage, and some birds gather around solar panels.

These signs point towards gulls but do not confirm it. If you think the birds might be pigeons, our pigeon control page covers them instead.

Seagulls often nest in the spring and summer, although the exact timing varies. That matters, because the work that is possible depends on current licensing, particularly once birds have started nesting.

How A Seagull Enquiry Is Handled

Every seagull enquiry goes through the same four stages, although what we suggest at the end depends on the building.

1. Tell Us What The Gulls Are Doing

Ring or send an enquiry describing where the seagulls are, what they are doing and whether any nesting seems to be under way. Phone advice is free.

2. Property Assessment And Licensing Check

We assess the property and explain what current licensing means for your situation; the licensing question in our FAQ sets out the general position. If we need to visit your property to survey the problem, a survey charge may apply.

3. Proposing Bird Proofing

Where it suits the site, we recommend seagull proofing. We explain what bird proofing involves before you decide, and it is individually quoted after assessment.

4. Aftercare From Our Technician

After any proofing is fitted, you receive aftercare advice. Should more proofing and deterrent work be worth adding later, it is also individually quoted after assessment.

Keeping An Eye On The Roof Afterwards

Watch the roof edges and ledges the gulls were using, and let us know if birds start going back to them. Proofing can help discourage seagulls from settling in the same spots, but we cannot say that they will never come back.

We give this advice to householders and business owners alike, and the technician will mention anything specific to your roof.
