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...

    • Presumably at the same point the person doesn't feel any sympathy for a female victim of assault cos well, that skirt she was wearing, she doesn't deserve any sympathy. Same with that kid who got mugged cos well what was he doing walking through there at that time of night, doesn't deserve any sympathy. You left a window open, of course you got burgled, you don't deserve any sympathy. Maybe everyone in Gaza being shelled to bits could just have upped and left, they probably don't deserve any sympathy either. It's a horrible phrase and frankly anyone using it - whether it's for a cyclist being knocked off or the more extreme examples I've cited above - really needs a long hard look in the mirror because victim blaming doesn't solve anything, in fact it often marginalises or makes excuses for criminal behaviour.
    • Dunstans Road  comes under Dulwich Hill SNT- you can get their details on the Met Police website . I know that the Police are often patrolling Dawson Hights. Please contact them,
    • No one is arguing that people should cycle without lights or reflectors. Obviously they should. It is also a legal requirement. But the colour of someone’s clothing? Is it ok to wear navy? What about green? What shade? At what point should we have ‘no reason for sympathy’ if they’re in a collision? I don’t want people to feel like they need special clothes just to walk or cycle. If you have lights and reflectors and you’re on well lit city streets, there is no reason why drivers shouldn’t be able to see you, assuming of course, that they're driving with due care and attention. But yes, if there are lots of people without lights, that should be addressed. I suspect in part, it's the change over in seasons and the fact that people are getting caught out by how early it's getting dark now (obviously no excuse).
