Eco Roofing? Advice please....


Lisapolisa

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...

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
