Bats in Churches!

We have been working with Natural England’s Bats in Churches Project to find novel solutions for churches struggling to cope with mess caused by roosting bats. These solutions need to be sensitive to the fabric of these historic buildings, whilst safeguarding important bat roosts. We have worked closely with church members and church architects in our designs and will be monitoring the success of the mitigation measures put in place this spring over the coming bat breeding season. The work has involved accessing some tricky areas and the careful use of machinery that can access small spaces without causing damage to historic buildings.
