Bat Tiles:
Provide help for our bats with our range of bat friendly roof tiles.
Did you know that all UK bats and their roosts are protected by law? The Wildlife and Countryside Act introduced in 1981, gave legal protection to all bat species and their roosts in England.
Distinct species of bats prefer differing places to roost. The two most usually found species of bat in the UK are the Pipistrelle and Brown Long-Eared Bat. Pipistrelle prefer confined spaces such as under tiles on roofs and hanging spaces. The Brown Long-Eared Bat prefer roof timbers and ridges inside lofts. Heritage Clay Tiles can provide purpose made access points within your roof tiles or ridge tiles. The Bat Tile Set can form part of a mitigation package required by law for existing roosts or as potential access where a roost had not previously been present.

A little information about East Sussex
Geology of East Sussex
Geologically, East Sussex is part of southern anticline of the Weald. In structural geology, an anticline is a type of fold that is an arch-like shape and has its oldest beds at its core. This is demonstrated by the South Downs, which is a range of moderate chalk hills which run across the southern part of East Sussex from west to east and mirrored in Kent by the North Downs. To the north lie parallel valleys and ridges, the highest of which is the Weald itself. The sandstones and clays meet the sea at Hastings, the Downs, at Beachy Head. The area contains significant reserves of shale oil, totalling well over four billion barrels of oil in the Wealden basin according to a recent geological study, which then Business and Energy Minister Michael Fallon said, "will bring jobs and business opportunities" and significantly help with United Kingdom energy self-sufficiency. Controversially, fracking in this part of East Sussex is required to achieve these objectives, which has been strongly opposed by several prominent environmental groups.
Settlements of East Sussex
The actual location of settlements in East Sussex has been determined both by its history and its geography. The original towns and villages in East Sussex would often be situated where its main economy lay fishing along the coast and agriculture and iron mining on the Weald. Industry in East Sussex today tends to be concentrated towards the tourism industry, particularly along the coastal strip where towns such as Bexhill-on-Sea, Eastbourne, and Hastings are located. Newhaven and Rye are ports, although the latter is also of much historical importance. Peacehaven and Seaford serve as dormitory towns. Away from the coast are former market towns such as Hailsham, Heathfield and Uckfield; Crowborough is a centre for the Ashdown Forest. Lewes, the County town of East Sussex; Battle, with its Norman Conquest beginnings, and Wadhurst are the other three towns of most significance.
Landmarks in East Sussex
The Seven Sisters area forms part of the South Downs National Park. Other notable natural landmarks include Beachy Head and the low-lying coast around Normans Bay.
East Sussex also contains numerous historic landmarks. There are castles at Bodiam, Herstmonceux, Lewes, and Pevensey; and defence works such as the Martello towers and Eastbourne Redoubt. Other prominent sites include Battle Abbey, Bateman's, Hammerwood Park and the University of Sussex campus at Falmer. Bexhill-on-Sea is also home to the De La Warr Pavilion. East Sussex also includes two chalk hill figures, being the world famous Litlington White Horse and the equally well-known Long Man of Wilmington, which are both situated in the Sussex Downs.
Some East Sussex traditions
The Lewes Bonfire is a set of bonfire celebrations held on Guy Fawkes Night, which both celebrates the uncovering of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 and commemorates the memory of the seventeen Protestant martyrs from Mayfield burned at the stake between 1555 and 1557. It has a history of religious antagonism and anti-Catholic imagery, including the burning of an effigy of the Pope. Although the event attracts tens of thousands of spectators every year, it repeatedly comes under fire from Catholics who are upset by the anti-Catholic vibe the celebration exudes. There are also many other celebrated bonfire societies in East Sussex.
Football in East Sussex
Brighton and Hove Albion F.C., who are based in Brighton and Hove, is the highest-ranked football club in East Sussex and plays in the Premier League. It reached the FA Cup final in 1983. Other clubs in East Sussex include Eastbourne Town F.C. and Lewes F.C., the latter of which also fields a successful women's team.
East Sussex is a county popular with cyclists
The fourth stage of the 1994 Tour de France ended in Brighton after departing from Dover. The route included a climb over Ditchling Beacon. Anyone who has ever tried to cycle over the beacon in East Sussex will know what a gruelling challenge it presents. The hilly nature of the Downs makes for an incredibly challenging trial for even the most dedicated cyclists, but fortunately, there are also quite a few less taxing routes throughout the East Sussex countryside for the novice cyclists among us. There are at least eight cycling clubs in East Sussex.
Golf is another popular pastime in East Sussex
There are no less than forty-two golf courses in East Sussex, many on downland. Four of these, two in Brighton and Hove, one in Eastbourne and one in Crowborough are public courses; the remainder being private, semi-private or situated on holiday resorts.
