PEST DETERRENT SOLUTIONS IN EDINBURGH

At Probuild Contracts Ltd, we provide expert pest deterrent solutions for properties throughout Edinburgh, with a focus on protecting buildings from the damaging effects of pest birds such as pigeons and seagulls. These birds can cause significant problems — from blocked gutters and stained masonry to noise issues and health risks posed by droppings. Our aim is to prevent birds from nesting and roosting on your building, using humane, effective deterrent systems that are tailored to your property's needs.

We offer a comprehensive range of bird deterrent methods designed to suit different building types and locations. Bird netting is one of the most reliable solutions, ideal for preventing birds from gaining access to specific areas like roof spaces, balconies, or loading bays. This discreet yet durable option provides long-term protection without harming the birds.

BIRD SPIKES, NETTING, AND MORE

For more targeted protection on ledges, parapets, solar panels, signs, and beams, we install bird spikes that physically prevent birds from settling. These are a safe and humane solution that simply makes surfaces uncomfortable to land on. In more visually sensitive areas, we can also install tensioned wire systems — an unobtrusive method that deters birds from perching without affecting the building’s appearance.

Another highly effective option is optical gel — a non-toxic product that creates a multi-sensory deterrent, making treated surfaces appear unsafe to birds due to the way it reflects ultraviolet light. Where appropriate, we may also recommend ultrasonic devices that emit high-frequency sound waves, disrupting bird activity without causing distress to humans or pets.

Used Probuild for a repair to my guttering. They came out to give an estimate within a few days, were polite and professional and very reasonable. The work was carried out a few weeks later when I was at work. The repair looks great and blends in with the original guttering. A few days later I received the invoice. No hesitation in recommending this company.

Very professional and quick. Very easy to communicate with them and arrange quotes and invoices. The person that fixed our roof was polite, respectful of our house and friendly with our dog. He also made no mess and left everything clean and tidy. Very happy to recommend them.

The job was reasonably large - chimney stack repair and render, gable end wall repair and render, rear wall strip, repair and render. All six residents (block of flats) happy with the work and the 10 Yr guarantee supplied.
