Why Egmore properties need pigeon nets for buildings
Many older buildings restrict drilling into historic masonry, so clamp-based or adhesive-anchor fixings are often preferred. Nesting material, feathers and dead chicks block drains, vents and ducts near the building ledge.
Bird mites and ticks from old nests can move into homes through open windows and balcony doors. Heritage buildings with carved cornices and deep ledges offer pigeons countless nesting spots.
Our pigeon nets for buildings installation approach in Egmore
For buildings we work from rope access or a platform, netting each ledge or void in turn. We measure the opening and choose a mesh small enough to keep pigeons out but still let air and light through. Net panels are fixed to the frame with stainless-steel hooks so there are no gaps a bird can squeeze through.
Whether it is heritage buildings with deep ledges or hotels and lodges, we walk the whole space first and note every gap a bird could use.
We walk the building and mark ledges, sunshades and voids before quoting.
Materials we use for pigeon nets for buildings
Typical materials on a pigeon nets for buildings installation are Knotless HDPE or nylon pigeon net, UV-stabilised binding cord, Stainless-steel hooks and clips and Corrosion-resistant fixing screws.
A further point for this area: Railway-station crowds and street food leave constant scraps that keep pigeon numbers high all year.
What to ask any installer before you agree:
- Ask for knotless nylon or HDPE netting, which is gentler on birds and stays tauter than knotted net.
- Insist that every edge is sealed, because a partial net simply moves the birds to the gap.
- Ask whether the net can be lifted or opened for cleaning windows and AC servicing.

Looking after your installation
To get the most from pigeon nets for buildings in Egmore, we suggest this simple routine:
- Keep plants and hanging items clear of the net so nothing tears or stretches it.
- Check for tears or loose hooks after storms and repair them promptly.
- Avoid feeding pigeons nearby, because a regular feeding point draws flocks back to the area.
