Our Bird Dropping Cleaning & Removal Process
Detailed Site Survey & Hazard Assessment
We start with a thorough inspection to identify the extent of bird fouling, potential health hazards, access challenges, and any nesting or roosting sites that may be contributing to the problem. ﹘ This ensures a safe and effective cleaning strategy.
Customised Risk Assessment & Method Statement
Before works begin, we prepare detailed safety documentation including risk assessments and method statements, tailored to the site and potential biohazards involved in guano removal.
Safe Guano Removal & Containment
Using specialist equipment, PPE and containment measures, we remove bird droppings and related debris from roofs, ledges, façades, pavements and other affected surfaces, dampening down areas to reduce airborne contaminants.
Deep Cleaning & Disinfection
Once waste is removed, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected areas using professional-grade solutions designed to eliminate harmful pathogens and neutralise odours.
Waste Segregation & Licensed Disposal
All guano waste is segregated, bagged and disposed of safely through licensed carriers in full compliance with environmental and health regulations, leaving your site clean and hazard-free.
Final Inspection & Reporting
On completion, we conduct a final check and provide comprehensive reporting, including photographic evidence of works carried out and guidance on how to reduce the risk of future build-up.

Case Study: Pigeon Guano Removal, Commercial Property UK
Delivering High Level Cleaning in Contaminated, Hard-to-Reach Areas
When pigeon activity impacts high-level structures, the risks extend beyond appearance to include hygiene hazards, corrosion, and health concerns. SafeGroup was appointed to carry out specialist high level cleaning at a commercial property where significant pigeon guano had accumulated across roof structures, ledges, and elevated architectural features, creating an unsafe environment for occupants and maintenance teams.
The site presented multiple challenges, including restricted access, work at height requirements, and the need to safely remove hazardous biological waste without disrupting ongoing operations. SafeGroup conducted a detailed site survey and risk assessment before deploying trained technicians using certified access equipment to reach and clean contaminated high-level areas. Our teams carefully removed all guano deposits, followed by a controlled sanitisation process to eliminate residual bacteria and reduce the risk of future contamination.
By combining specialist high level cleaning techniques with rigorous health and safety controls, SafeGroup successfully restored the affected areas to a safe, hygienic condition. The project was completed efficiently and in full compliance with environmental and safety regulations, allowing the client to regain confidence in the cleanliness, safety, and integrity of their building.
