abseil & rope access
Need safe, efficient access to hard-to-reach areas of your building – for inspections, maintenance, deep cleaning, bird guano removal, or specialist installations?
Rope access – also known as industrial abseiling – excels where scaffolding is impractical, prohibited, or too costly. Our IRATA-qualified technicians descend precisely using dual-rope systems, following strict International Code of Practice (ICOP) guidelines for maximum safety and minimal site disruption.
This versatile technique shines in bird control applications, enabling precise removal of feral pigeon and gull nests from ledges, roofs, and facades; safe guano clearance without scaffolding; and installation of bird netting, spikes, or gels in gutters, vents, and high-rise structures. It’s often 50-70% cheaper and faster than alternatives, ideal for commercial buildings, heritage sites, and prisons.

PIGEON GUANO
UK Bird Control Legislation
All wild birds, nests, and eggs are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, with fines up to £5,000 plus jail time for offences like unauthorised nest removal or harm to birds.
Only birds listed under General Licence (e.g., feral pigeons, gulls) can be removed or controlled by authorised, qualified technicians for valid reasons like public health, air safety, or serious damage prevention. CSS Pest Services handles General Licence birds humanely, using non-lethal methods where possible, and with full documentation to shield your business. To avoid harming birds, works are usually conducted during their breeding season (usually March-August).
If your pest bird species isn’t covered under General Licence, CSS Pest Services will immediately advise you and handle applying for a special licence on your behalf. We bring years of experience liaising with Natural England, your local council, and police to keep you fully protected and compliant.
It is extremely important that you get advice from a bird control expert if nesting birds are damaging your business, to ensure legal, humane results.
CONTRABAND NETTING
If contraband threats compromise your facility, our fire-retardant, chemical- and weather-resistant netting provides a tamper-proof barrier – installed discreetly by confidential, experienced teams using robust supports and fixings.
We customise every project to site-specific needs, drawing on years of bird netting expertise now adapted for anti-drug measures in UK prisons, as seen in high-profile cases where smugglers targeted yards with drones or throws.
Our process starts with a professional survey to ensure seamless, compliant installation that withstands breaches while maintaining utmost security and discretion.
We also apply this proven technology for bird-proof netting on commercial buildings.

Dangers of Sharps & Needles
Discarded needles, syringes, blades, and broken glass – often linked to illegal drug use – create severe biohazards for passersby, staff, and cleaners. Beyond puncture wounds, they risk spreading HIV, hepatitis B, and other infections, demanding immediate action by trained experts.
These hazards endanger public health on premises like parks, schools, offices, or alleys, with contamination persisting until professionally neutralised. Untrained handling amplifies risks, breaching COSHH legislation and exposing businesses to fines or liability.
Swift removal by CSS Pest Services prevents disease transmission: we isolate, collect safely, dispose legally, disinfect thoroughly, and certify areas safe for reuse – protecting your reputation and compliance.

DRAIN SURVEY
Drain defects are one of the most common hidden causes of recurring rodent activity, particularly where rats are gaining access through damaged or compromised drainage systems. Our drain surveys help identify cracks, faults, displaced joints, and other entry points that may be allowing pests to move from the sewer network into your building.
With many years of experience, we have developed advanced techniques and equipment unavailable to standard drainage companies, so we can investigate suspected drainage-related pest problems and pinpoint where access is being made, with an 100% success rate, even in blind junctions. This allows us to recommend targeted repairs and proofing work, helping to resolve the immediate issue while reducing the risk of ongoing or repeat infestations in both residential and commercial settings.
Drain surveys are particularly useful when you are dealing with:
• Repeated rat activity with no obvious entry point
• Evidence of rodents inside a property despite previous treatment
• Suspected broken, uncapped or collapsed drains
• The need for a more accurate, long-term proofing solution rather than repeated reactive visits
