Very quick service and they look to be high quality, I have not had a chance to fit them yet so can’t comment on fixing them or longevity of product. I am sure they will be fine. Nice to buy something made in Britain .

Lovely 5 star review, thank you very much. We are very proud to be a British family run business down here from our warehouse in sunny Devon! All our products come with long warranties, either 15 or 25 years, so should keep those pesky pigeons away for years to come. Thank you for your order.

Delivered promptly as I was working to a timescale. I didn’t realise my purchase came with snips to cut the pieces to size. Also, when I ordered it automatically calculated the amount of silicone adhesive I needed. It was too generous. And I used plenty of it. I would recommend as the product appears robust and it’s easy to fit but I think there are cheaper alternatives?

Thank you for the great review. All orders of our Defender Solar Panel Excluders come with free snips to make installation a little easier for you. These strips are UV stabilised and come with a 15 year material warranty so will last you for many years! Thanks for the order.
All similar products equally as expensive
Very expensive for what it is. They know you're only buying the product because you have too. There are other products out there , equally as expensive and easier to use.
Be aware the product comes flat packed and will need assembly. Time consuming and fidgety. Bit flimsy. Spikes look good quality, but only time will tell. Other products are ready to use straight out of the box. To be fair, it's probably the least noticeable product you can buy.

Hi, I believe you purchased our Defender Solar Panel Excluders which come ready to use straight from the box. There might be a little bit of snipping of the prongs to fit your individual tiles - some might be undulating or stepped and this gives the perfect bespoke solution to stopping pigeons getting under your panels. If you have had any issues with installation, do give us a call and we can chat through the options and help you in anyway we can to make it as easy and straightforward as possible. Look forward to hearing from you
Bird spikes
The website has lots of info on different types of bird spikes I purchased ones for seagulls unsure as how many I needed I got 6 strips and 1 tube of (silicone adhesive) which is calculated when ordering the strips, it was sufficient to cover 7 chimney pots, straight forward fixing instructions , prompt delivery and cost is included if ordered is over £25 , and so far no signs of seagulls on the chimney

They do the job
They arrived quickly, they were easy to put up and they keep the pigeons away. It would have helped if I had known when the parcel was coming though.

Finally rid of noisy starlings
I moved house a few years ago and the past 2 years I have been tortured by noisy starlings building their nests in the eaves which they accessed via the profiled roof tiles on the dormers. I had previously had bird combs fitted under these tiles but they proved ineffective as the birds just pushed through them.
I ordered the Thistle gutter spikes and had them installed simply by clipping onto the gutter edge within 30 mins of arrival. They are almost invisible from ground level and so far no noisy starlings appear to have made it in this year!
