Contego recently installed ‘fire gel’ anti pigeon system to York Art Gallery, part of the £8 million refurbishment project that has recently been completed. We are pleased to have played a part in protecting this magnificent building for future generations.

Like many city-centre buildings, the gallery was very attractive to pigeons who regularly "painted" the roof and walls with their droppings. The building itself dates from 1879, and is a Grade 2 listed building, so we needed to pigeon-proof the roof and ledges, without causing any change to the building's appearance.

As part of a major re-development of ASDA, Eastlands Contego were appointed to conduct the bird netting on the project. The project was completed in two phases, phase 1 – removal of all old netting (two front entrance canopies & side canopy – as pictured above). The old netting was removed to allow for decoration works to be conducted. Phase 2 was the installation of new wire system in which new white 19mm netting was re-installed to the areas over 1500SQM.

All works were completed on time and ready for the store hand over in July 2016.

Full RAMS and work plans were provided to the client prior to work.

Installation of 19mm anti bird netting to “.com” home delivery canopy for national supermarket chain. Contego were called in to provide assistance as part of stores upgrades and pest prevention strategy. Installed over two days with the specification of total exclusion of small birds.

Contego were approcached by an existing client to help protect one of their roofs from nesting birds - Sea gulls.

The solution to their problem was the installation of 75mm bird netting to prevent birds accessing the roof area. The 75mm netting was supported by a series of brackets installed at 5M intervals around the perimeter of the roof and 1M free standing posts. As standard we install our netting systems in stainless steel.

Two man safe anchor decks were required as part of the installation due to height of the wall.
