Supports Swift Populations
Swift Boxes provide protected nesting spaces for swifts, helping support birds that rely on suitable nesting opportunities within the built environment.
Building Swift Box Habitats into the Spaces We Create
Swift Boxes offer a simple and effective way to incorporate valuable nesting habitat directly into new homes, commercial developments and community buildings. With Biodiversity Net Gain playing an increasingly important role in UK development, built-in swift habitats provide a lasting way to support wildlife within the places we create.
Made from brick and designed to integrate seamlessly into external masonry, Swift Boxes provide a safe, sheltered nesting space while becoming a discreet part of the building itself. Their durable construction complements traditional brickwork and modern architecture alike, creating permanent habitat without compromising the appearance, performance or everyday use of the property.
By incorporating secure nesting spaces into the fabric of a building, Brick Swift Boxes can help support declining swift populations and bring nature closer to the people who live and work there. It’s a practical, long-term approach to creating buildings that provide a home for wildlife as well as people.
Swift Box Technical Sizes
Our swift boxes are available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different buildings and installation requirements. From compact single-nest boxes to larger options providing space for multiple nesting pairs, each design offers a safe and sheltered place for swifts to breed and raise their young. Suitable for a variety of residential and commercial properties, our swift boxes provide a practical and discreet way to support local swift populations while integrating neatly into the building.

HAND MADE FOR WILDLIFE
Why Swift Habitat Bricks?
Purpose-designed building habitats for Swifts, suitable for new developments, sustainable housing projects and biodiversity-led construction.
Integrated into Buildings
Integrated Swift Boxes are built into the structure, creating a permanent nesting habitat that blends naturally with the surrounding masonry or external wall design.
Biodiversity Principles
Swift Boxes help new developments demonstrate meaningful biodiversity enhancements as part of wider BNG, planning and sustainability strategies.
Resident Friendly
These discreet swift habitats support wildlife without reducing living space, affecting internal rooms or compromising the appearance of the development.
Easy to Install
Designed for straightforward installation, Swift Boxes can be incorporated into new construction without specialist equipment or complex additional training.
Durable and Discreet
The Building Habitat range is designed to protect and support wildlife while maintaining the durability, aesthetics and long-term performance expected from modern building products.
Designed for Simple Integration into New Developments
Swift Boxes are a practical way to add ecological value to new-build homes, housing developments, commercial schemes and public buildings. Their integrated design means they become part of the structure itself, creating essential nesting opportunities without the need for visually intrusive add-ons.
For developers, architects and contractors, integrated Swift Boxes offer a straightforward route to supporting wildlife while strengthening a project’s sustainability credentials and Biodiversity Net Gain contribution.

Swift Boxes and Biodiversity Principles
Our investment in ecohabitats supports Biodiversity principles by helping new developments create practical, safe and usable spaces for wildlife. Swift Boxes are a focused solution for nesting swifts, providing integrated habitat opportunities that contribute to nature-positive construction.
Developing product ranges that tackle nature loss and promote biodiversity is a key part of TBS Cladding’s sustainability strategy. By specifying Swift Boxes, projects can help support important bird species while supporting wider environmental goals.
Biodiversity
Swift Boxes for Sustainable Construction
Swift Boxes are an important part of biodiversity-friendly construction, helping new developments provide safe spaces for wildlife while meeting modern sustainability expectations. As traditional nesting opportunities are reduced through development and renovation, integrated swift boxes offer a durable and discreet way to support swift populations.
Swifts are an iconic part of the UK’s summer skies, but they depend on suitable nesting spaces within buildings and urban environments. By building swift habitats directly into the fabric of buildings, developers can create long-term nesting opportunities that support local biodiversity without affecting the comfort or usability of the property.
Whether used as part of a wider Building Habitat range or specified as a focused biodiversity feature, Swift Boxes help create places where people and wildlife can live in harmony. They support Biodiversity Net Gain principles, contribute to sustainable construction and help developments take meaningful action against nature loss.
