Bird Dropping Cleaning Services
Bird droppings, also known as guano, can quickly build up if you have birds nesting on your property. This guano is highly corrosive due to its acidic nature, causing immense damage to building structures and paintwork, which can mean you need costly repairs to put the structure right again. In addition, it can also impact your property’s aesthetic appeal, cause a slip hazard and produce a foul odour. Therefore, if you own a business, bird guano removal is vital in protecting your reputation, avoiding property damage, and maintaining a safe environment.

Commercial Bird Dropping Removal Service
Bird droppings are unavoidable in densely populated cities and seaside towns across the UK due to the abundance of food waste and nesting bird activity. In addition, common birds, such as pigeons and seagulls, will typically nest together in large groups on roofs, balconies and business signs. As a result, guano can build up quickly and become a health and safety hazard for yourself, your customers and staff members.
Fortunately, our fully trained team of bird experts are here to help protect your business reputation and keep your property safe from bird droppings. At Integrum, we will implement our waste removal services and use professional-grade equipment to thoroughly disinfect guano build-up and clean your building.

The Dangers of Bird Droppings
Bird droppings are not only unappealing and distract from the beauty of your property, but guano is a hazardous substance with many health risks. For example, failure to control nesting birds and clean up droppings can lead to the following:
- Diseases: Bird guano contains a host of pathogens and bacteria which can impact your staff and customers. As a result, you could lose income and productivity from staff sickness.
- Injury: Droppings are slippery, and you risk customers hurting themselves on your property. This could lead to litigation and damage your reputation.
- Contamination: As bird guano dries, it breaks down into dust and becomes an airborne risk. Unfortunately, this can contaminate air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems.
- Damage: Bird droppings are acidic and strong enough to melt through building materials and damage paint finishes. This could lead to costly structural damage that could impact your profits and require costly repairs.
- Leaks: One of the most common bird nesting locations is on your roof. As a result, nest material can block gutters and drains, leading to potential flooding or leaks.
- Business Closure: Environmental Health Offers can enforce business closure or fines due to high public safety risks.
Why Is Bird Dropping Removal Important?
Bird droppings contain bacteria and pathogens that can cause serious health problems for adults and children. Therefore, if you have pigeon droppings or bird waste on your property, you should be aware of the following:
Listeria
This is a potentially lethal bacterium that can cause an illness known as listeriosis, which can be fatal. Pregnant women are particularly at risk of Listeria, as it can cause meningoencephalitis, which affects unborn children and kills 1 in 2 affected.
Salmonella
Often carried by pigeons, this disease can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach cramps. Sadly, this can be life-threatening for those with a weakened immune system.
Cryptococcosis
This fungus is commonly found in bird guano and spreads via the inhalation of contaminated dust. As a result, this could lead to lung diseases and damage to the central nervous system.
Histoplasmosis
This fungal disease is commonly carried by pigeons, starlings and seagulls. For most, inhalation of these fungal spores leads to flu-like symptoms; however, it can develop into lung infections and conditions in those with weakened immunity.

Integrum’s Bird Guano Cleaning Service
It’s clear that bird droppings are much more dangerous than most people first assume. While it might be tempting to clean them up yourself, it’s not worth the risk of catching a deadly disease. So instead, you should leave it to Integrum, who have access to the necessary PPE, experience in bird-dropping removal and access to specialised equipment to get the job done correctly.
Our guano cleaning treatments include the removal of dried droppings from any surface. We then use a specialist bird-dropping remover solution to eradicate all traces of guano. Next, the problem area is washed down before we begin carefully disinfecting everything to prevent the spread of disease. Once the site is 100% guano-free, our team can implement guaranteed bird proofing strategies such as bird nets, bird spikes, Bird Alert technology, Flock Off and bird wire to ensure your property is protected moving forward.
We will properly dispose of all collected bird droppings at designated waste disposal units, so you don’t need to worry about the rubbish! Our technicians hold upper-tier waste licences and can provide full traceability on all removals if required.
We offer professional guano cleaning services to all UK businesses, helping you to stay safe from the dangers of bird droppings. For more information or to organise your treatment, speak to us today by calling 0204 566 5522.
Pigeon Dropping Removal Services
Most of the bird-dropping removal jobs we carry out are caused by pigeons. This is not surprising after learning that almost 18 million pigeons live in the UK.
In addition, pigeons will return to the same spot, day after day, spending most of their time in this location unless they’re looking for food. Unfortunately, this means that when they defecate numerous times each day, it’s usually in the exact same place. As pigeons tend to perch on rafters, window ledges, or roofs, their droppings fall to the floor below, contaminating the streets.
Over a short period of time, pigeon droppings will build up excessively and begin to dry. Once dry, they can be extremely challenging to clean, and you risk catching a disease. Therefore, due to the severe risks associated with cleaning pigeon droppings, we highly recommend leaving it to the professionals.
Our team is trained and highly experienced, with the appropriate personal protective equipment to safely remove bird droppings from contaminated areas. Our pigeon guano removal service is efficient, and we follow up with a disinfectant service to protect human health and remove all hazardous waste.

Pesky pigeons had found their way into the hangers at British Airways and decided to make it a home. We were called to remove the pigeons nesting in the hangers and terminals before commencing a deep clean and removing all signs of bird droppings. We then also employed bird proofing measures to prevent the problem from arising in the future.

Our team of professionals were called to a location with an unfortunate space on their roof that was perfect for pigeons to roost in. Unfortunately, these pigeons had been there a while, as was evident by the build-up of guano. Following an initial survey and risk assessment, our technicians were able to swiftly remove the droppings and get the roof looking brand new again, leaving this family home safe from the threat of pigeon-related diseases.
