Sedum Roofs
Sedum roofs are lightweight, eco-friendly systems designed to enhance buildings with vegetation. These roofs reduce stormwater runoff, improve insulation, and support biodiversity. Ideal for flat or low-pitched structures, they require minimal maintenance and blend seamlessly into urban or rural landscapes. Our sedum mats are cultivated for 18 months to ensure full coverage before installation.
Green Roof Installation
Our installation service ensures precise application of sedum mats, tailored to roof dimensions and accessibility. The process includes waterproofing checks, substrate application, and strategic mat placement to maximise visual appeal. Completed with debris removal and irrigation advice, installations are conducted by qualified professionals for durability and environmental benefit.
Roof Maintenance
We offer annual or biannual maintenance to preserve roof health and aesthetics. Services include weeding, debris removal, fertilisation, and drainage checks. Our team assesses growth patterns and repairs patches to maintain vibrant coverage. Regular upkeep ensures long-term performance, extending roof lifespan while sustaining ecological benefits like air purification and thermal regulation.
Waterproofing Advice
Waterproofing is critical for roof longevity. We recommend trusted partners for professional membrane installation and provide guidance on compatible materials. Our advice covers edging solutions, retention bars, and compatibility with existing structures. This ensures your green roof remains secure against weather damage while maintaining ecological functionality.
Sedum Mat Supply
We supply pre-grown sedum mats for self-installation, cultivated to ensure dense coverage. Mats are harvested fresh and delivered promptly to maintain vitality. Ideal for DIY projects, they include guidance on preparation and installation. Our mats adapt to various roof types, offering a cost-effective way to achieve immediate green coverage with minimal effort.

A couple of years later and our sedum roof is a great attraction to so many bees and butterflies - we love it too! A pleasure to work with Helen and no issues with the installation or plants a couple of years later
