Green Roof Systems for New Builds

We install sedum and wildflower green roof systems on new build properties and commercial developments. Green roofs are increasingly specified by planning authorities in Cornwall as part of biodiversity net gain requirements.

Our green roof installations include all components of the system, from the waterproofing membrane through to the growing medium and planting.

Sedum and Wildflower Roofs

Sedum roofs are the most common type of green roof, using drought-resistant succulent plants that require minimal maintenance. They provide excellent insulation and manage rainwater runoff effectively.

Wildflower meadow roofs create a more diverse habitat and can be particularly effective in supporting pollinators. We work with specialist suppliers to specify the right planting mix for your location and aspect.

Planning and Biodiversity Net Gain

Green roofs are increasingly required by planning authorities as part of biodiversity net gain requirements. We can provide technical specifications and supporting documentation for planning applications.

Our team works closely with ecologists and landscape architects to ensure green roof designs meet planning requirements and deliver genuine biodiversity benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What maintenance does a green roof require?

Can a green roof be installed on any building?

Green roofs require a flat or low-pitched roof with adequate structural capacity. We can assess your building and advise on suitability.

Do green roofs help with planning permission?

Yes. Green roofs are increasingly specified by planning authorities as part of biodiversity net gain requirements. We can provide technical documentation to support planning applications.
