Green Roofing

about rubber roofs.
Extensive green roofs are designed to be low
maintenance - requiring perhaps only once-yearly
attention such as weeding or the application of
slow-release fertiliser to encourage growth.
Extensive roofs can be established on a very thin
layer of soil or a hardy mat of sedum vegetation.
Our fully trained green-roof installers can
construct systems of any size and in a cost
competitive manner.

Both types are grown over a waterproof membrane -
we use EPDM rubber because of its remarkable
properties which make it perfect for this kind of
application.
EXTENSIVE
The Intensive roof garden system requires a
reasonable depth of soil in order to grow substantial
plants or lawns. They are literally gardens on the roof
and may incorporate elements such as trees, shrubs
or even ponds. They are called intensive because they
are labour intensive - requiring the same care and
maintenance that would be needed for a ground level
garden. This includes irrigation, cutting, clipping and
feeding and other general maintenance and so east
access is usually essential.
INTENSIVE
As well as our roofing skills and experience, our
horticultural expertise is an essential requirement
when constructing and installing a green roof of either
type or, sometimes, a combination of the two systems.
