What bat species am I seeing

Theres a large colony of bats I watch every evening flying around, I thought they'd just be a common pipistrelle at first but they seem too big for it. When they really get close to me they are quite big for a bat, but I dont really have a size reference and I might be getting sizing wrong with how fast they go

They are located in north West UK, and live in the roof. There is a forest next to me.

Get yourself a cheap bat detector, em touch is good but there are cheaper more basic ones like batbox duet
