Wakefield District Housing are fitting soffit cups

Wakefield District Housing are replacing a large number of soffits on their properties. But these are not the soffits that see an end to established swifts nests, these will be supporting our much loved and fast declining red-listed swifts. 340 nests have been created so far. We do hope other councils will follow suit. If you’re a council, builder or home owner who would be interested in doing something similar, please get in touch and we can connect you with someone that can help. The technical drawings below are also available to download.
