Forster Whirlybirds
A hot, stuffy roof cavity can affect your whole home—but a whirlybird can make all the difference. At Bradley Roofing, we install and repair whirlybirds to help ventilate your roof space and keep your home cooler year-round. Based in Forster, we work with homeowners looking to reduce heat buildup, prevent moisture damage, and create better airflow using this simple, low-cost solution. Whether your whirlybird is broken or you’re looking to add one for the first time, we’ll make sure it’s installed properly and working as it should.
We use trusted products suited to Australian conditions and roof types, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. A working whirlybird draws hot air out of your ceiling space, reducing the strain on your insulation and cooling systems. If your roof feels hotter than it should, or if your current vent is rattling or stuck, it could be time for a replacement. Give us a call on 0403 196 074 to book a whirlybird installation or repair. Our service areas include Tuncurry, Taree, Wingham, Old Bar, Harrington, Nabiac, Black Head, Green Point, and Diamond Beach.

Roof Ventilation Made Easy
Whirlybirds are a cost-effective way to improve ventilation without increasing energy costs. They work by using wind power to extract hot, stale air from the roof cavity and draw in cooler air from outside. We install whirlybirds in metal and tiled roofs, making sure they’re positioned correctly to get the best airflow and keep your home more comfortable. If your whirlybird has stopped spinning, is noisy, or isn’t doing its job, we’ll either repair it or replace it with a more efficient model.
Proper ventilation helps prevent condensation, mould growth, and moisture damage—especially in older homes. We’ll assess your roof and recommend the right number and placement of vents for your space. With professional installation and quality parts, you’ll notice the difference quickly.

FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What does a whirlybird actually do?
A whirlybird is a wind-powered ventilator that spins to draw hot air, moisture, and fumes out of your roof cavity. This helps regulate temperature and airflow, especially in summer. It works continuously without electricity and can help reduce energy usage by easing the load on your cooling systems.
How many whirlybirds do I need?
The number of whirlybirds needed depends on the size and design of your roof. For most single-storey homes, one to two units may be enough, but larger or multi-level homes might need more. A professional installer will assess your roof space and recommend the ideal setup for effective ventilation.
Can a whirlybird be installed on any roof?
Yes, whirlybirds can be installed on most roof types, including metal and tile. They come with different flashings and bases to suit various roof pitches and materials. Proper installation is important to ensure a watertight seal and long-lasting performance, so it’s best to have it done by a roofer.
What are the signs my whirlybird needs replacing?
If your whirlybird is making unusual noises, not spinning in the wind, leaking, or showing visible rust, it may need repairs or replacement. Older models can become less efficient over time, and a worn unit can allow rain or pests into your roof cavity. A quick inspection can help determine if it’s time for an upgrade.
