Professional Green Roofing Services in Newchapel & Surrey

A green roof isn't just a pretty garden on your house; it's a living roof system! Typically, it's a layer of vegetation grown over a waterproofing membrane. You'll find different layers – from a protective root barrier and drainage to the growing medium and plants themselves. These roofs can be 'extensive' with lighter, low-maintenance plants like sedum, or 'intensive' with deeper soil for larger plants and even trees, much like a rooftop garden. It's a fantastic way to bring nature right onto your property.

Green roofs offer a whole range of benefits for your home and the environment. For you, they provide excellent insulation, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, potentially lowering your energy bills. They also do a brilliant job of managing rainwater runoff, reduce noise, and can even extend the life of your existing flat roof by protecting it from UV rays and temperature swings. Plus, they look incredible and boost local biodiversity, giving a home to insects and birds.

Many roofs can be transformed into green spaces, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Typically, flat roofs are ideal, but some low-pitch roofs can also work. The most important aspect is assessing your roof's structural integrity to ensure it can safely bear the additional weight of the soil, plants, and water, especially after heavy rain. Our professional team provides a thorough survey to check if your roof is a good candidate for this specialist work. We’ll make sure the job is done right and safely.

The cost of a green roof can vary quite a lot. It depends on factors like the size of your roof, the type of green roof (extensive or intensive), the plants chosen, and the specific structural needs of your property. Because each project is unique, we don't offer fixed prices without an inspection. What we do provide, however, is a detailed, transparent, no-obligation quote after we've properly assessed your site and discussed your vision. You'll get a clear understanding of the investment needed for your green roof.
