Pigeon-droppings cleaning in Paris 6th
We remove existing deposits. This service covers accessible surfaces on zinc roofs, chimney stacks, dormers and nearby structures. We adapt the method to zinc, stone, painted plaster, wood and glass. We do not promise an original appearance, disappearance of a porous stain, disinfection or decontamination.
Défi Clean assesses pigeon droppings already present on roofs and top-floor structures in Paris 6th. We work from what occupants can see through a roof window or from a neighbouring floor, without asking anyone to climb. Before starting, we agree what needs protection and where water and residue can flow. Keeping birds away is a separate service.

Zinc roofs and dormers in Paris 6th
On the zinc roofs of Paris 6th, deposits often collect behind a chimney stack, against a dormer or beside a small structure around the top-floor rooms. These positions shelter birds from the wind and cannot always be seen from the pavement below. We therefore use what occupants glimpse through a roof window or from a neighbouring floor. We never ask them to climb onto the roof, a dormer or a ledge. A mark seen in a reflection or behind a stack still needs to be confirmed as an accessible working area. We distinguish a surface that is visible from one that can actually be reached. This avoids describing cleaning for a section that no one can access safely or that the building rules do not permit us to use.
On a roof, water and residue travel downwards. They may run into a gutter, downpipe, light well or window sill, and sometimes towards a neighbour below. We agree beforehand what must be protected and where the water can go. Zinc, stone, painted plaster, wood and dormer glass do not react in the same way. A porous surface holds what zinc does not retain as readily. Access to a roof or common area depends on the building rules and managing agent. We do not decide those conditions ourselves. We remove deposits with a method that limits airborne dust from dry material, without promising that the support will look new or that a stain will disappear.
Our deposit-removal method
Gather observations
We ask what occupants can see from a roof window or neighbouring floor.
Confirm access
We verify that the roof or common area can be reached lawfully and safely.
Identify the support
We distinguish zinc, stone, painted plaster, wood and dormer glass.
Trace the run-off
We locate gutters, downpipes, light wells, sills and surfaces below the work area.
Remove the deposits
We use a method that limits airborne dust from dry material.
Report the limits
We separate removed deposits from stains, wear and damage remaining in the support.
What we assess before cleaning
- Deposit location behind a stack or dormer
- View from a roof window or neighbouring floor
- Actual accessibility of the roof area
- Material of the zinc, stone, wood or glass
- Visible condition beneath the deposits
- Possible route of water and residue
- Protection for gutters, wells or neighbours
- Permission under building rules and managing agent
This service removes existing deposits from accessible surfaces. We use a method that limits airborne dust from dry material, without presenting the work as disinfection or decontamination. A porous support may retain a stain, impregnation or mark after cleaning. The pigeon-deterrent service is separate. We do not promise that the material will regain its original appearance or that new deposits will not form.

Frequently asked questions
Can you clean droppings from a zinc roof?
We can assess deposits on a zinc roof when access is authorised and the area is reachable. We adapt the method to the support and do not promise that the zinc will regain its original appearance.
Do I need to climb onto the roof to show you the area?
No. You can describe what you see through a roof window or from a neighbouring floor. We never ask an occupant to climb onto a roof, dormer or ledge.
Where does the water and residue go?
We identify the route before starting. Water may reach a gutter, downpipe, light well, sill or a neighbour below. We agree which surfaces need protection and where run-off can go.
Will a stain on stone or wood always disappear?
No. We distinguish deposits that can be removed from the condition of the support. A porous material may retain a stain or impregnation after cleaning.
Is roof access automatic because the deposits are visible?
No. The building rules and managing agent determine access to roofs and common areas. Visibility from a window does not by itself make a surface reachable or authorised.
Does this service stop pigeons returning?
No. This service removes existing deposits. Deterrent protection has its own page and must be assessed separately, without guaranteeing a permanent result.
Is the work a disinfection or decontamination?
No. We remove deposits from accessible surfaces using a method that limits airborne dust from dry material. Disinfection and decontamination have separate conditions and scopes.
