Why Do I Need a Professional Guano Cleaning Service?
Bird droppings (guano) aren’t just unsightly — they pose real dangers to human health and building infrastructure. Here's why professional guano removal is essential:
Eliminating Health Hazards
Pigeon droppings can carry pathogens such as Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcosis, and E. coli, which become airborne when droppings dry, leading to serious respiratory illnesses.
Preventing Property Damage
Guano's acidic content corrodes metal, stone, paintwork, and roof membranes. If left untreated, blocked gutters, degraded HVAC systems, and structural decay are common.
Maintaining a Professional Image
Visible guano accumulation on your building facade, entryways, or signage projects neglect and affects customer perception. We restore your site's cleanliness.
Ensuring Legal Compliance
Under UK Health & Safety at Work regulations and COSHH guidelines, employers and property owners are responsible for biohazard removal. We provide full documentation for audits or inspections.
Preventing Slip Hazards
Wet or dried guano on walkways is extremely slippery and dangerous, posing injury risks to staff and the public.

We follow a comprehensive 7-step guano cleaning process that ensures safety, compliance, and total disinfection:
