Here at Softwashing UK we offer pest control. We do not dislike birds, but we recognise they can be a pest, and remedying the mess and noise associated with birds can be much easier said than done. At Softwashing UK we specialise in pest control in particular bird control. We specialise in protecting your premises from roosting and visiting birds, with seagulls and pigeons being the most common culprits, but we can prevent any nuisance bird. We offer prompt and effective cleaning of guano and other mess.
Softwashing UK offer bird control to any building anywhere. We’ve worked in supermarkets, local government, schools, commercial and industrial premises, as well as structures such as bridges over public highways and railway. Monuments, and heritage buildings are a speciality, as guano has an acidic effect and can permanently damage stonework it is left untreated, and of course the hospitality industry wants to keep birds away from food preparation areas and relaxing guests. Bird droppings potentially carry many pathogens such as salmonella, tuberculosis and ornithosis.
In order to keep birds at bay (literally, sometimes, as far as seagulls are concerned) we offer a range of solutions including bird netting, bird spikes, and bird wire. We also use anti-pathogen cleaning agents to clean bird mess, and leave any surface clean, safe, and restored. You’ll love our results.
Softwashing UK will carry out a comprehensive site visit that takes into consideration existing and potential nest, roost, and perch points, and the access and egress paths that the birds take. We pay particular attention to messy areas which need urgent attention and sensitive public areas where birds should be prevented. After this review we will agree and devise a solution matched to your requirements, based on the building type. At Softwashing UK our bird control recommendations are not limited to sealing off and cleaning areas that are easy to access. We have comprehensive ladder, scaffold, moving elevated work platform, and abseil rope access. As such we can net, spike, and wire, pretty much any area as required.
When cleaning bird mess our softwashing blends are 100% anti-pathogenic and will remove all trades of guano and other bird mess, unlike old fashioned methods which blast away the mess but can leave and even spread infection through the air.

Thank you very much! Paul Welsh2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used Softwashing a number of times over the past few years to clean the exterior of our house, gutters and patio. Every time it has been a fantastic service, always going above and beyond, whether it’s attacking a stubborn rust stain or taking time to explain the process. We have recommended them to friends and neighbours and using them every year is testament to how happy we are with the work they do. Thanks! Andrew Covell2025-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service was great, Gavin arrived on the dot of eight o’clock and he then talked me through the process before starting. He worked diligently using a range of different techniques to address the various issues. At the end the render looked like new! Would definitely recommend and will have them back again when it needs doing again! Peter Grant2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a director of and on behalf of Wardour Court Management Company and residents I wish to record our thanks to Gavin and his team. The property is a sensitive building constructed of Chilmark stone, it had not been cleaned for some time and was looking the worse for wear. They were all extremely efficient and professional as well as very pleasant and easy to talk to despite the difficulties they encountered, which included having to work 17 hours on one of the days. All the residents I have spoken to have expressed how pleased they are with the result, as are the directors of Wardour Court Management Co. We would happily use this company again and are equally happy to recommend them to others. Ann Grant Jewellery2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gavin and his team recently cleaned the Chilmark stone courtyard mews where I live. The stone was in dire need of cleaning and proved to be a very difficult job including one 17 hour day. Despite the difficulties he and his team remained pleasant, friendly and very professional leaving us with what I can only describe as a transformation ... our ugly duckling has become a swan. I can't thank them enough for their dedication and would happily recommend him and his company. City Stays sw Ltd2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of our properties, which is a rental, was a complete eye sore on the exterior surfaces, which needed rectifying before it was able to go back on the rental market. After ringing around different companies, Softwashing UK stood out and understood our requirements. Softwashing UK Soft wash cleaned 15 years' worth of bad organic staining from our K-Rend render, brickwork, and all rain water goods to the property. We honestly could not believe the results that were achieved. The render now looks like the day we had it rendered. On the day of the work ne carried out, the guys turned up on time and carried out the job respectfully and professionally. It's great to see good tradesmen still exist. We highly recommend the soft wash service they offer, and we will be sure to recommend Softwashing UK our friends and family's. James C2025-01-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with the job. Very professional.

A fantastic company with an incredible passion and work ethic. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience that enables them to use the right product and application for different sites. We recently used them on a number of blocks in the Bournemouth area. As a block manager, their proactive view on CDM and H&S is first class.
