Bird Exclusion Netting via Rope Access.

Think Access installs permanent and temporary bird exclusion netting using IRATA rope access, protecting roof spaces, plant areas, facades and building internals from pest birds. We reach high and difficult locations without scaffold, installing durable, humane exclusion systems.

What we do

Why bird exclusion matters

Bird infestation on buildings creates significant hygiene, health and building fabric problems. Accumulated droppings are a slip hazard, can cause respiratory health issues, corrode building materials and damage mechanical and electrical equipment. Exclusion netting is the most effective long-term solution for preventing roosting and nesting in protected areas, and rope access is the most efficient way to install it at height.

Netting system selection & installation

We install bird exclusion netting in stainless steel, polypropylene and polyethylene systems depending on the pest species, the location and the durability requirement. Netting is fixed using stainless steel fixings and tensioning systems appropriate to the structure, ensuring a taut, visually neat installation that does not sag or allow birds to become entangled.

Common installation locations

Common locations include open building facades, canopies, roof voids, plant rooms, ventilation intakes, loading bays and internal atria. Each location presents different fixing challenges and access requirements our rope access capability allows us to reach and install netting in locations that would be impractical or cost-prohibitive by any other means.

Heritage & specialist structures

We carry out netting installation on heritage structures where conventional fixing methods must be adapted to avoid damage to historic fabric. This requires careful selection of fixing positions, reversible fixing systems where possible, and close coordination with heritage consultants or conservation officers where the structure is listed or within a conservation area.

Why Think Access

Bird exclusion is a long-term maintenance investment that protects building fabric, occupant health and the building’s appearance. Think Access installs netting at any height, any access challenge.

F.A.Q’s

High-quality stainless steel netting systems typically last 10 to 20 years. Polypropylene systems have a shorter lifespan. We recommend the appropriate system based on location, exposure and budget.

Yes. Bird exclusion installations are carried out with minimal disruption to building operations. We work around your schedule and can complete installations in sections.
