The Problem

  • Fouling was visible near a customer entrance.
  • Staff were cleaning the same area repeatedly.
  • The business wanted a discreet proofing solution.

What I Found

  • Regular roosting pressure along the roofline and ledges.

  • The building needed a neat deterrent approach that did not damage presentation.

What I Did

  • Recommended discreet proofing where birds were landing.
  • Advised on cleaning and maintenance around fouling risk.
  • Explained where proofing would be useful and where it would not.
