Bio-Shield provides professional pigeon guano removal and decontamination services across Sheffield and the surrounding areas of South Yorkshire. This service is designed for properties affected by bird fouling where droppings, feathers, and contaminated debris present a risk to health, safety, and the condition of the building.
We support landlords, managing agents, local authorities, housing providers, and commercial clients who require safe, compliant removal of bird contamination.
Pigeon droppings can harbour harmful bacteria, fungal spores, and parasites. When guano dries, contaminated dust can become airborne if disturbed, increasing the risk of inhalation and cross-contamination within a property.
Commonly affected areas include lofts, roof voids, balconies, plant rooms, warehouses, loading bays, and sheltered external spaces. Due to the health risks involved, pigeon guano must be handled using specialist PPE, controlled removal methods, and professional decontamination processes.
Professional pigeon guano removal and decontamination is commonly required where:
Significant accumulations of droppings are present
Long-term roosting or nesting has occurred
Loft spaces or enclosed areas are contaminated
Commercial or residential buildings require remediation prior to occupation or works
Each site is assessed individually to determine contamination levels, access requirements, and the most appropriate approach.
Sheffield includes a wide mix of property types, including residential housing, flats, commercial premises, industrial units, and historic buildings. Bird activity in these environments can go unnoticed for extended periods, leading to extensive contamination and hygiene concerns.
Our technicians are experienced in working across varied property types and plan works carefully to manage access, safety, and disruption while ensuring contamination is removed thoroughly and safely.
Clients contact us with details of the issue. 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 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 or access is complex, pricing typically starts from £1,200 (plus VAT). Final costs are confirmed following assessment. Full details of how our pricing works can be found on our pricing page.
Following guano removal, preventative measures may be recommended to reduce the risk of re-occurrence. This can include bird deterrents, proofing, or exclusion systems.
Where required, follow-on services can be arranged through our Shield Group partners to help protect the property long-term.
