Pigeons Cause £15,000 of Damage to East London Flat
In the News
When you talk about internal damage to let property it is sometimes caused by the tenants themselves
But in this case it was a flock of about 40 pigeons that invaded the flat and caused the devastation inside
The departing tenants did help by leaving the patio door open when they left , giving the pigeons open accommodation
The landlord just looked in but retreated because of the overbearing stench
The cost of clearing up the poop and feathers could run to £15,000 !!

I don't know where they come up with £15,000 to tidy and clean. I bet the cleaners get about £10-12 an hour but yes this are not the best tenants ever!
MelissaLee1 I think it includes replacing the furniture too M, i doubt if cleaning it would get rid of the smell
telmel I saw the little enclave where the rubbish shute is where I live.The pidgeons had a rave in there as well.I hate it when they cull birds but they do cause a bitta bovver.Unless you live up north and yer racing em lol
I had no idea that pigeons would even enter your premises if the patio door is left open. I used to leave my front door and patio door wide open when I had the carpets professionally cleaned ( I was told to do this by the cleaner). Those pigeons are a nasty piece of work to enter a building and deliberately mess it up.
Boff. Pigeon mess smells horrible. We used to have a street that was always covered in pigeons mess and the smell and that was outside
