Bio-Shield provides professional pigeon guano removal and decontamination services across Edinburgh and surrounding areas. This service is designed for properties affected by bird fouling where droppings and contaminated debris present a risk to health, safety, and the condition of the building and require specialist intervention.
We work with landlords, managing agents, housing providers, local authorities, and commercial clients to safely remove contamination and restore affected areas to a hygienic and compliant standard.
Pigeon droppings can accumulate over time and may contain harmful bacteria, fungal spores, and parasites. When dried guano is disturbed, contaminated dust can become airborne, increasing the risk of inhalation and cross-contamination within a property.
Areas commonly affected include lofts, roof voids, plant rooms, balconies, stairwells, warehouses, commercial units, and sheltered external spaces. Due to the health risks involved, standard cleaning methods are not suitable and specialist handling is required.
Professional pigeon guano removal and decontamination may be required where:
Significant build-ups of droppings are present
Long-term roosting or nesting has occurred
Contamination is affecting lofts or enclosed spaces
Residential or commercial properties require safe remediation
Hygiene or health concerns have been identified
Each site is assessed individually to determine contamination levels, access requirements, and the most appropriate cleaning approach.
Edinburgh includes a wide mix of historic buildings, tenement properties, city-centre flats, commercial premises, and public buildings. Pigeon fouling in these environments can be extensive and may involve difficult access, shared spaces, or sensitive structures.
Our technicians are experienced in working within dense urban settings and understand the access, safety, and containment considerations commonly found in city properties.
Clients contact us with details of the issue requiring attention. Where possible, we request images or videos of the affected areas to allow an initial assessment.
Based on the information provided, we issue a clear written quotation outlining the scope of works, expected timescales, and any access or waste disposal requirements. For extensive contamination or difficult access, an on-site survey may be required before works commence.
Works typically include the controlled removal of guano and contaminated debris, followed by professional cleaning and decontamination using approved disinfectants.
All pigeon guano removal and decontamination work is carried out by trained technicians using appropriate PPE and specialist equipment.
Contaminated waste is removed, transported, and disposed of responsibly using licensed waste carriers and approved disposal routes, in accordance with environmental and health regulations.
Pricing varies depending on the extent of contamination, access requirements, and the volume of waste involved.
Guide prices for pigeon guano removal and decontamination typically start from £500 (plus VAT). Where contamination is extensive, access is complex, or large volumes are involved, pricing typically starts from £1,200 (plus VAT). Final costs are confirmed following assessment.
Following guano removal, preventative measures may be recommended to reduce the risk of reoccurrence. This may include bird deterrents, proofing works, or exclusion measures.
Where required, follow-on services can be arranged through our Shield Group partners to help protect the property long-term.
