What is a Green Roof? Why Sedum?
Green roofs and walls have existed throughout the world for centuries. Recent worries about sustainability, climate change, our carbon footprint and economic issues have meant that we are witnessing a growing interest in this form of green roofing wall coverage.
There are many types of Green Roofs or Walls that we can supply from the simple Sedum plant roof in our green roof systems to the wild life roof garden, or exhibiting your logo on the roof of office buildings. In the future we would hope to see many more of these types of green roof, replacing the traditional tiled roof.
We are happy to offer a wide degree of service from simply helping you choose the correct plants to actually building/adapting your roof or walls for this form of coverage. On other pages on the site you can see how to make a green roof, the advantages of a green roof and DIY methods.

Costings
It is very difficult to cost a green or living roof as there are so many different varients but a well designed and installed green roof system will probably cost something in the region of £65 per M2, although this can be less if the area is larger or it is a simple roof ie a shed or garage roof. It is all dependant on the type of roof, the structure of the building and the type of plants used. For an estimate or just a chat contact Sedum Green Roof. We can advise you on your needs with no obligation. Just phone us and we can give you some ideas.
The disadvantage of the higher initial cost but the fact that a green roof protects the waterproof membrane from adverse weather conditions, it actually increases the life expectancy of a roof, sometimes double or even tripling life expectancy so in the long term works out economical. Financial incentives are now being offered in some countries.
