Habibat 017 Concrete Bat Box
The Habibat 017 External Bat Roost Box provides a robust and reliable habitat solution for projects where integration into the building fabric is not possible or practical.
Designed for retrofit, refurbishment and existing buildings, the 017 allows developers, contractors and asset owners to incorporate meaningful biodiversity enhancements without altering the primary structure.
Alongside its durable masonry construction, the 017 benefits from the practical experience of our Yorkshire-based team, who regularly support projects across the UK with product selection, site coordination and installation advice.

Built from masonry for long-term ecological value
Unlike lightweight timber or plastic alternatives, the Habibat 017 is manufactured using durable masonry materials, providing:
- Longevity aligned with the lifecycle of the building
- Stable internal conditions for roosting bats
- Excellent resistance to weathering and environmental exposure
- A permanent, low-maintenance habitat solution
This ensures biodiversity features are not just installed, but designed to last.

The Habibat 017 is particularly suited to projects where biodiversity enhancement forms part of:
- Refurbishment works
- Building upgrades or asset improvement programmes
- Planning or ecological requirements

- Residential housing and retrofit programmes
- Commercial developments
- Public sector buildings such as schools and hospitals
- Infrastructure and utilities projects
Its external mounting design makes it particularly useful where:
