Pigeon Guano Removal
7 Weeks
Econ Group were appointed to remove large volumes of pigeon guano from an old building in North London. The premises had been empty for the last 25 to 30 years and now the owners are looking to transform the building into new social affordable housing.
The building had become home to a huge quantity of pigeons, Econ Group were appointed to oversee pest control measures. Once the pigeons had been removed, we had to seal up the openings in the building to ensure no further pests were able to enter the site. Once this was completed, we cleared a large amount of guano from the inside the building. In certain areas the guano was over 150mmin depth.

Our Client is extremely pleased at the way we, supported by Econ, have dealt with the situation. From the moment you confirmed that notifiable asbestos was present, a focused, concerted effort has been made by Econ to deal with the problem. The client was impressed at the speed in which Econ tabled a strategic proposal to the HSE to remove the asbestos, working 24/7 non-stop, to expedite the removal. The fact that the proposal, including approval by the HSE, was achieved in such a short timescale is credit to Econ. The proactive approach, while being flexible and accommodating to allow key ECR staff to work in a safe, isolated contained area, has really impressed the Network Rail team.
