Sustainable roofing systems

Trusted blue and green roof installers

We are one of the UK’s most trusted suppliers of environmentally friendly commercial roofs, and have designed and installed green roofs and blue roofing systems for hundreds of clients over the last few decades. The roofing systems we install are highly functional and aesthetically pleasing, with a wide range of practical and environmental benefits.

What is a green roof? A green roof, sometimes called a green living roof, is a type of roof covered with greenery and vegetation. Often installed over waterproof membranes, green roof systems minimise flooding by absorbing rainwater, enhance a building’s thermal performance, and improve local air quality. Green roofs are also recognised for their ability to increase a building’s visual appeal and have many positive mental health benefits.

What is a blue roof? A blue roof is a type of flat roof that collects and stores rainwater to prevent local drainage systems from becoming overwhelmed. Often found in urban areas, these systems have many drainage layers and are designed to release the water they collect back into the environment at a controlled rate. In some cases, instead of being released, the water stored in blue roofs can be used in a range of other activities such as irrigation, cleaning, and toilet flushing.

At Catalogue Engineering, we:

  • Work with a range of manufacturers to provide a solution for your roof area

  • Can advise on storage requirements

  • Offer 3rd party validation

  • Supply sealed roof panels for self-installation

  • Offer full UK coverage.

How do green roofs work?2025-08-22T12:54:29+00:00

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.

What is the lifespan of a green roof?2025-09-01T08:18:39+00:00

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.

What does a blue roof do?2025-09-01T08:27:20+00:00

Blue roofs are designed to emulate natural drainage patterns and prevent local systems from becoming overwhelmed. They work by collecting and retaining rainwater on the roof’s surface before slowly releasing it back into the environment at a controlled rate. In some instances, the water captured by a blue roof can be stored for reuse elsewhere, such as for irrigation or toilet flushing. 

How long do blue roofs last?2025-08-22T12:59:17+00:00

In most instances, a blue roof will last for around 30-40 years. There are many factors that influence this, including the quality and type of materials used in its construction and how regularly it is inspected for issues. Blue roofs that are professionally installed and maintained typically last longer than those that aren’t.
