How we work
Survey, plan, do the work, check
Every job starts with a free site visit. We survey the problem, then give you a written plan and price before any work starts. We do the work ourselves, come back to check it has worked, and advise on stopping it happening again.
Our bird control is humane: proofing and deterrence, with no poison. On commercial sites we work to your site rules, and a risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) is supplied before the first visit. Fouling and clearance waste leaves with us, under our waste carrier registration.
How a job runs
-
Step 1
Survey
We look at the problem on site, inside and out, and find where the pests get in.
You get A plain read of the problem. The site visit is free.
-
Step 2
Plan and price
The method and the visits, and for businesses a risk assessment and method statement (RAMS).
You get A written price before any work starts.
-
Step 3
Treatment or installation
Bait and proofing, nest treatment, spikes, netting or a flown hawk, whichever the site needs.
You get The work done by Steven himself.
-
Step 4
Check
We come back and check it has worked.
You get A short note of what we found.
-
Step 5
Prevention
The fix that stops it coming back: proofing, housekeeping and, for businesses, planned visits.
You get Advice in writing, and a visit plan if you want one.
Proofing
Fix the cause
Treatment on its own rarely lasts. Rats come back through the same gap and pigeons return to the same ledge. So we look for the cause: the entry point, the open ledge, the food source. Then we close it with proofing, spikes, netting or mesh, and tell you what else would help.

The person who does the job
Steven Cooper runs SC Environmental Services and does the work himself, from the first survey to the final check. He has worked with birds of prey for 15 years, and hand-rears and flies his own, including the Harris’s hawks and falcons used on bird control jobs. That is why our bird control is humane and does not use poison: the aim is to make a site feel unsafe so pigeons and gulls move on. When you call, you speak to the person who will do the job.
