Bird Control Spikes
Professional Bird Spikes for Buildings, Roofs and External Features
SDF supplies bird control spikes for domestic, commercial and industrial properties across the UK. Available in a variety of sizes, materials and configurations, our spikes help prevent pigeons, gulls and other nuisance birds from landing, roosting or nesting on vulnerable surfaces.
Bird Deterrence for Different Surfaces
Bird spike systems must suit the width, shape and location of the surface being protected. Our extensive range includes options for narrow ledges, wide surfaces and specialist building features.
Bird control spikes can be used to protect:
- Windowsills and building ledges
- Parapets, coping stones and roof edges
- Pipes, railings and fences
- Roof ridges and architectural details
- Gutters and drainage systems
- Chimney pots
- Streetlamps and outdoor fixtures
- Signs, beams and other landing surfaces
Narrow spike systems provide targeted protection where installation space is limited. Wider multi-pin configurations can cover larger ledges and help prevent birds from landing between rows. Specialist profiles are also available for shaped, curved and difficult-to-protect surfaces.
Stainless Steel and Plastic Options
Our bird spike range includes stainless steel and polycarbonate systems for different environments, budgets and installation requirements.
- Stainless steel spikes: Manufactured using corrosion-resistant wire for strength, durability and reliable outdoor protection.
- Plastic spikes: Lightweight, rust-free and UV-stabilised for discreet bird deterrence on domestic and commercial properties.
Many products use a UV-stabilised polycarbonate base that resists sunlight and weathering. This helps the spike system retain its strength and remain securely positioned throughout long-term outdoor use.
Spikes for Pigeons and Gulls
Different bird species require different levels of coverage. Pigeon spikes are suitable for many common ledges, windowsills and roof details. Gull spikes use longer pins and more substantial configurations to discourage larger birds from landing.
The correct system will depend on:
- The bird species causing the problem
- The width and shape of the landing surface
- The level of bird pressure
- The surrounding environment
- The preferred fixing method
- Access for installation and future maintenance
For larger surfaces, more than one row may be required to prevent birds from landing behind or between the spikes.
Specialist Bird Spike Systems
Alongside general-purpose ledge and window spikes, SDF supplies purpose-built systems for more complex applications. These include bird spikes shaped for roof ridges, gutters, chimney pots, streetlamps and other external fixtures.
Adjustable and clip-on options can provide secure fitting without interfering with the normal function of the protected surface. Gutter systems, for example, deter birds while allowing rainwater to continue flowing through the gutter.

Fixing Bird Spikes
Depending on the product and surface, bird spikes can be fixed using screws, clips or a suitable adhesive.
Our clear neutral cure Fixing Silicone creates a strong, weather-resistant bond on many clean, dry surfaces. It is suitable for common building materials including metal, glass, plastic, stone and masonry.
Surfaces should be properly prepared before installation. Dirt, dust, grease, loose paint and existing bird fouling can reduce adhesion and affect the quality of the finished installation.
