Bird Netting in Goregaon

When pigeons have decided your balcony is home

It starts with one or two sitting on the railing. A week later there is a nest behind the AC unit, and the droppings are on everything. The high ledges of tower blocks in Goregaon East and West give birds plenty of shelter, and a pair that has nested in one spot will return to it. You can scrub the balcony every Sunday, and they will still be back on Monday.

The droppings are more than a mess. They are acidic enough to leave permanent marks on stone and painted metal, and birds can spread disease. With a net in place, they lose the shelter and nobody gets hurt.

What it costs

We will not guess a figure over the phone. It comes down to how big the opening is and how hard it is to reach. A WhatsApp photo helps us plan the site visit. If you also have webs on the same balcony, tell us, and we can arrange spider and web removal along with it.

• What is the price of bird netting in Goregaon?

  We can only tell you after seeing the place, since a small balcony and a whole building face are very different jobs. Ring 80979 41077, or WhatsApp us a photo and rough measurements, and we will set up the site visit. You will have the price before anything gets fitted.

• Will the net hurt the pigeons?

  No. It only stops them getting in, and it is not meant to catch them. If a nest with eggs or chicks is sitting there, say so before we start. Then we can plan around it, so that no bird ends up trapped behind the net once it is up.

• Which net material do you use?

  The person who visits your site will suggest a net and tell you what it is made of and how long you can expect it to last. Please ask before you agree to anything. An open balcony and a narrow duct may not need the same net.

• Will a net block the view from my Goregaon balcony?

  You will see it if you look for it, more so up close. How much it bothers you depends on the net and how far you sit from it. Light and air still come through. If you care about the view, mention it on the site visit and ask what we suggest.

• Does my society have to approve the bird net?

  It might. Many societies have rules on what goes on the outside of a building, so ask your committee before anyone comes to measure. And if your neighbours in the wing want nets as well, the society could ask us for a single visit and a single quote.

• Can you net ducts and ledges as well as balconies?

  Please show us on the site visit. If a spot can be reached safely, a net can usually go across it. Walk our person around every place you see birds or droppings, and do not forget the duct, the ledge outside the bathroom and the space near your AC unit.

• Why not just clean up and chase the pigeons away?

  You can try, but pigeons are stubborn, and a spot they have nested in keeps pulling them back. So you end up washing the same balcony each week, while the droppings slowly mark your stone and paint. A net takes the place away from them, and they go elsewhere.

• What happens when someone comes for the site visit?

  They walk through the area with you and see how birds are getting in. Then they say which net they would use. This is your chance to ask how it will look from inside. You get the price after this, so you are not committing to anything yet.

• Is there a warranty on bird netting?

  Ask us at the site visit. Our terms for bird netting are confirmed separately and written into your quote, so you will know what is covered before you decide. If you would like to ask before anyone comes, ring 80979 41077, and we will tell you what we can.

• Can I book bird netting along with pest control work?

  Sure. Mention everything when you call. If our person is coming about a net anyway, they can look at the spiders or lizards on that same balcony on the same trip. It saves you from taking time off for two separate visits. Pest treatment may be done on another day.
