Weil's and Leptospirosis same thing - main vector rat pee. Pigeons carry psittacosis, another nasty. Dust masks will not do - you need full respirator masks.
Simple advice on finding sites that are pigeon infested - leave asap. Tell client that you will have to charge extra for doing the job with full PPE, then suggest a commercial cleaning company (as Dr PW suggested)!
