Hi guys i need some help.

Came home this evening to find that both my beardie tanks have got very small flies in them (they were not there this morning). We have the conservatory dorr open during the day to let the cat in and out of the back garden and live near broads in norfolk...could they be coming in and through the vents?

If not where else could they be coming from, and how to i get rid of them?

Sounds like fruit flies - I know beardies eat fruit and veg (don't know a lot about them though lol) I would clear out all their food and replace with fresh - you probably just had something a little overipe or something in there that a fruit fly found and laid eggs on - then when you put it in the viv they hatched out during the day.
