A balcony, a warehouse truss and a solar array are three different jobs. They are measured differently, quoted differently and fitted differently. Pick the one that matches your site and start there.
At a Glance
Most people start by choosing a product. That is backwards. The application decides almost everything: which surfaces need treating, how the quantity is worked out, what the spikes can be fixed to, and whether you can do it yourself or need an access plan.
A balcony job and a warehouse job might use the same steel strip. What differs is that one is fifteen feet of railing you can reach from a chair, and the other is four hundred metres of truss you get one shutdown window to reach. The product is the small decision.
The measurement that matters
Bird control is priced on running length — the total metres of edge that birds land on. Not floor area, not the number of rooms. Walk the edges and add them up, including corners.
The most common job we supply. A typical railing is 10 to 15 ft. Treat the sill above it at the same time or the birds simply move up.
Narrow surfaces, short runs, several of them. A slim base matters here — a wide strip overhangs the sill.
Under a metre per unit. Best fitted during a routine service. Use adhesive so the casing is not pierced and keep the vents clear.
Residential jobs are almost always DIY. The kits ship with adhesive, gloves and an illustrated guide in Hindi and English. The hard part is usually society approval, not the fitting.
Parapet perimeters run long. Measure the full loop before you price anything, and expect multiple rows on wide copings.
Trusses, purlins and beam tops. The decision is whether to spike the members or net the bay — it depends on whether birds land or fly through.
A schedule of items done inside one shutdown. Procurement needs the full takeoff up front, because there is no second visit.
Falls between the electrical contractor and the bird control contractor. Getting it scheduled is harder than fitting it.
Birds nest in the gap under the array. Treat the edge to block access underneath — nothing goes on the panel face.
Signage, atriums, covered walkways, temple structures. Send photographs and we will tell you how it is measured.
| Application | What you measure | Typical size | Usual approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balcony | Railing length + sill above | 10–15 ft | DIY kit, adhesive |
| Window sill | Sill width × number of windows | 3–5 ft each | Narrow strip, cut to size |
| AC outdoor unit | Top surface perimeter | Under 1 m per unit | Adhesive only, vents clear |
| Rooftop parapet | Full perimeter loop | 40 ft upwards | Multiple rows on wide copings |
| Warehouse truss | Member length, or bay opening area | Hundreds of metres | Spike members or net the bay |
| Solar array | Array edge perimeter | Per array block | Edge mesh or spikes, never on panels |
| If the birds are | Use |
|---|---|
| Landing on an edge, rail, sill or coping | Bird spikes or pigeon spikes, by surface width |
| Flying into a balcony, shaft or truss bay | Anti bird net |
| Nesting under a solar array | Edge treatment at the array perimeter |
| Monkeys using walls and pipe routes | Monkey spikes |
If you would rather start from the surface than the building type, use bird problems by surface instead.
The manufacturing arm of S.K Enterprises, producing bird control products in Delhi and supplying across India.
Send drawings or photographs and we will work out the running length and the strip count before you order.
DMRC, PowerGrid, Berger and GAIL use our products, alongside hundreds of housing societies.
For industrial sites we quote the full schedule up front so nothing is missing on the day.
Societies, builders and industrial buyers are quoted on total running length, not list price.
If half the surfaces on your list do not need treating, we will say so. It costs us a smaller order and earns the next one.
Pick the structure the birds are actually using. If they sit on your balcony railing, that is the balcony job — even if the building is commercial.
On running length: the total metres of edge to be treated, plus adhesive or fixings. Access adds cost on high or awkward sites.
Residential jobs, yes — balconies, sills and AC units are all DIY with a kit. Industrial work at height needs an access plan and usually a contractor.
Yes. We supply direct at project rates and can provide the takeoff against your drawings.
A photograph with something for scale, the running length in feet or metres, and a note on whether the birds are landing on the surface or flying past it.
Yes, pan-India, with free shipping on orders above ₹999 and project despatch direct from the factory.
A photograph with something for scale and the running length is enough. We will tell you the product, the quantity and the price — free, and usually in one reply.
