Eco Roofing? Advice please....

Recommended Posts

Ok guys,


So I need your opinion on this....Im thinking of getting a Green/Eco roof however I'm not sure whether or not this is a good idea? Have any of you had one or thinking about getting one yourselves?


Apparently they last 3x as long as a normal roof and they decrease water drainage by 80%. I quite like the idea of having a garden on my roof; it would be very aesthetically pleasing and fun to be a part of unlike a normal roof however it can be a bit pricey! How much is too much???


Can any of you shed some light on this????


Thanks :)

Heh there - I have a green roof and am really pleased with it. I got a little stuck between the person putting the roofing in, the person providing the roofing system and the chap putting the plants in. SO I would just make sure you have one overall contractor who can do the whole thing and give you one guarantee.


I also went for grass and wild flowers which is a little more high maintenance but looks very cool compared to sedum.


Hope this helps - J

I was just wondering if there was any red tape with regards to planning and us being in Dulwich, i know they can be a little fussy with the overall 'look' of our houses.


Im really in two minds about it :s


Although they do look like a lot of fun and my kids would love it...

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
