Vent & Opening Protection
Mesh guards fitted to roof vents, soffit vents and openings to block birds while maintaining airflow.

- Airflow maintained — ventilation not blocked
- Fixed pricing with no hidden extras
Vents Are the Easiest Entry Point for Birds
Roof vents, soffit vents, open eaves and other ventilation openings are designed to allow air into the roof space — but they also allow birds in. Standard plastic soffit vents have apertures large enough for sparrows and starlings, and many older properties have completely open eaves with no protection at all. Once birds discover an easy entry point, they return year after year to nest.
Radiant Roofing fits vent and opening protection across Kent, Sussex and Surrey. We install mesh guards, upgraded vent covers and purpose-made closures that block bird access while maintaining the airflow your roof space needs. Our solutions are discreet, durable and designed to last the life of the roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vent and opening protection typically costs between £100 and £800. Protecting a few soffit vents costs £100 to £250. A comprehensive whole-property vent protection job runs £400 to £800. We recommend combining with ridge and eaves bird proofing for complete protection.
No. We use fine stainless steel mesh that blocks birds but allows air to flow freely. The mesh aperture is small enough to exclude even sparrows while providing the same airflow as an unprotected vent. We check the ventilation requirement to ensure compliance.
Stainless steel mesh guards last the lifetime of the roof. They do not rust, corrode or degrade. Plastic mesh alternatives are available at lower cost but may need replacing after 10 to 15 years. We recommend stainless steel for permanent, maintenance-free protection.
We cover Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and Surrey. Our teams regularly fit vent protection in Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Uckfield, Haywards Heath, East Grinstead and surrounding areas.
Yes. All vent and opening protection is backed by our workmanship guarantee. Stainless steel mesh products are virtually permanent and require no maintenance once fitted.
