Bats and Birds

Bat Boxes

There are 17 species of bat in the UK, all of which are protected by law because their numbers have decreased so dramatically, therefore in cases of possible disturbance appropriate mitigation measures are required. In situations where any development work has the potential to remove suitable roosting locations bat boxes can be installed.  We have installed a variety of types from large heated bat boxes to individual Schwegler units which are highly durable, air-permeable and made from SCHWEGLER wood-concrete. 

Bird Boxes

We can install any size and shape of bird box and are able to construct bespoke versions to suit your requirements and to blend in with existing surroundings. We have also built and installed a considerable number of Dormouse nest boxes as part of our ecological mitigation work.

Bat and Bird Surveys

All bat species and their roots are legally protected in the UK and bat surveys should be undertaken on any trees to be felled or needing tree surgery if there is any possibility of bats using them as roosts.  We are able to carry out bat and bird surveys of trees, barns and any other potential roosting or nesting sites using our own team of NPTC qualified climbers.  We undertake all types of tree work from felling to de-limbing and this can be carried out under the supervision of the client’s ecologist if required.
