A whirlybird is a wind-driven roof vent. As it spins it draws hot, moist air out of the roof space, which can help with summer heat build-up and condensation in the roof.
The vent itself is simple. The skill is in fitting it to a tiled roof so it stays watertight: cutting the opening in the right place, fitting the base and flashing it to the tiles around it.
Whirlybirds work best as part of a roof that can also draw air in, for example through eaves, so the hot air being pulled out is replaced by cooler air. We will look at your roof and let you know if whirlybirds are a good fit. If you are also restoring the roof, it makes sense to fit vents at the same time so they are sealed and coated with the rest of the roof.

Ventilation helps limit condensation in the roof.
Properly flashed to tiled roofs.
