Green Roof Specialists in Dorset

Living roof systems for a cooler, greener property, installed on a properly waterproofed flat roof.

Overview

A Living Roof, Built on Solid Waterproofing

A green roof adds a living layer of planting on top of a flat roof. It helps absorb rainfall, supports wildlife, and adds insulation, while giving the roof a natural finish.

The planting is only as good as the roof beneath it, so we start with a properly installed waterproof flat roof system and build the green roof layers on top.

Green roofs suit extensions, garden rooms, outbuildings, and commercial buildings, and are part of the eco-friendly roofing options we offer.

How We Work

Waterproofing Comes First

A green roof that leaks is a much bigger problem than an ordinary flat roof that leaks, because the planting has to come off to fix it. That is why we treat the waterproofing as the most important part of the job, and build the green roof on top of a system we have installed ourselves.
