    Practical Ventilation for Your Roof Space

    Whirlybirds allow warm air to escape from the roof space without an electric motor. The right approach depends on your roof, existing ventilation and access. Steve can assess the roof and explain the suitable options before work begins.

    Whirly Bird FAQs

    What does a whirlybird do?

    A whirlybird is a wind-driven roof ventilator that helps release air from the roof space. Its effectiveness depends on the roof layout, weather and available air inlets.

    Can you assess a noisy or stuck whirlybird?

    Yes. Contact Steve to arrange an assessment. The condition of the unit and its roof flashing will help determine whether a repair or replacement is suitable.

    How many whirlybirds does my roof need?

    There is no single number that suits every home. Roof-space size, existing ventilation and the type of roof need to be considered first.

    How much does whirlybird work cost?

    The price depends on the number and type of ventilators, roof access and the work required. Ask for a written quote based on your property.
