What is a green roof?
A green roof, sometimes called a living roof, is a type of roof covered with vegetation and a growing medium. Installed over waterproof membranes, green roof systems minimise flooding by absorbing rainwater, enhance a building’s thermal performance, and improve local air quality. Beyond their environmental utility, they are widely recognised for their ability to increase a building’s visual appeal and provide positive mental health benefits for occupants.

QUALITY INSTALLATIONS
Whatever type of green roof you’re searching for, you’ve come to the right place. We can install many different types of green roofing systems, including intensive green roofs (roof gardens) and extensive green roofs.

Green roofs are designed to absorb rainwater and alleviate its impact on local drainage systems. This is achieved by capturing rainwater at the source and using this to support the growth of the vegetation that sits on the roof’s top layer. Green roof plants will release some of this water back into the environment via a process known as transpiration, which also reduces air temperature. Any excess water collected by the roof either evaporates or is slowly released through an in-built drainage system.
In many cases, green living roofs can last between 40 to 50 years. The exact lifespan of a green roof depends on a variety of factors, including the quality of its materials and the plants and vegetation used. A green roof’s longevity will be further ensured if it is installed by qualified professionals and regularly inspected for maintenance issues.
Yes, green roofs are more expensive upfront than conventional roofs, mainly because they require additional materials and installation. However, they can reduce energy costs, extend roof lifespan, and provide environmental benefits, which may offset some costs over time.
Yes, but it depends on the type of green roof. Extensive green roofs are generally not designed for regular foot traffic and are intended only for occasional maintenance access. Intensive green roofs are built to be walked on and can function as usable rooftop garden spaces.
Green roofs reduce heat by absorbing sunlight with plants instead of reflecting it into the building, cooling the air through evapotranspiration, and adding insulation that limits heat transfer into the structure. Together, these effects keep buildings cooler and help reduce surrounding urban heat.
Yes, green roofs cool buildings by shading the roof surface, reducing heat absorption, and releasing moisture through evapotranspiration, thereby lowering roof temperatures and reducing the amount of heat entering the building.
