Lead Time
Delivery should be between 3 and 8 days for Bat Blocks. Please contact us if your order is urgent.

Made from cast concrete using up to 75% waste materials from the Cornish China Clay industry.

Dimensions
215mm x 440mm x 120mm (+15mm fascia depth)

Weight
Approx 15 kg (unpackaged)

Positioning
The Bat Block should be positioned at least 4m from ground level, in proximity to vegetation and linear features like hedgerow which bats rely on for navigation and food.

South or West facing will provide summer maternity roosts and north facing will provide winter hibernation roosts.

Installation
Build into course work using mortar mix as main build components in place of a standard brick or block.

Maintenance
Bats and their homes are protected by law so it is important not to disturb them. The Bat Block does not require maintenance as the design allows droppings to fall from the entrance.

Sustainability at Green&Blue

Excuse the pun, but sustainability isn't just a buzz word for us at Green&Blue, it's embedded in the business decisions we make and every thing we do.

These are just some of the areas of business where we focus attention to be the most sustainable we can be;

Product -

The Green&Blue range is entirely British made - meaning visible supply chains and low product miles. We have worked with the same suppliers since the business was started back in 2005.

The Green&Blue range is designed to last for many years and we do our best to support our customers with repairs or replacement parts where any issues do arise.

The concrete range is made within our own Cotswold workshops, creating local employment and giving us full control. We use 75% waste material from the Cornish china clay industry within our concrete and are constantly reviewing material developments and processes to ensure we are using the best material we can.

Workshop -

We look forward to updating you soon on how we make sure our offices and workshops are running as sustainably as possible.

Packaging -

The Shred project , which Wildcare acquired with the purchase of Green&Blue in 2023, enables us to remove virgin grade packaging materials from our dispatch process - and allows us to work with our local community to remove recycling and to extend the useful life of cardboard.

Our boxes are UK sourced and made from FSC certified cardboard.

Our wraps and printed literature are printed with a print supplier who work from a state of the art sustainable building, and who are a carbon balanced printer, winner of the 'UK environmental company of the year' at the PrintWeek Awards.

We don't rest on our laurels and that is our promise to you. Sustainability is a journey with no end, and as we learn, as we question and as we grow we will keep this commitment at the heart of everything we do.

If you have any questions, any ideas or any feedback then please get in touch with our team, we can do more together than we can apart.
