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...

    • How will you vote at the Spring Conference when they put forward their motion that it is "racism" for Jews to want to live in a sovereign state on their own ancestral homeland?
    • I'm sure one can always find things which a party or an individual within it could have done better or shouldn't have said. If one was going to use those things as a reason not to support the party, one would never support any party, and would never vote. So far as I am concerned, the Greens represent my views on most issues better than any other party that I am currently aware of. I really am not interested in dissecting the details of one or two specific instances,  for many reasons, not least that I have no direct knowledge of them and don't know what may be a reliable source.
    • Was it the promise to act as a "strong voice" for Muslims that sealed the deal? The Green Party hired Abi Wilkinson from the Sultana wing of Your Party just before the Manchester by-election. She's on record as denying sexual violence during the 7 October 2023 attacks on Israel by Hamas, which is not true. I wonder if she was also responsible for the dodgy text of the Urdu and Bengali comms the Green Party pumped out in the last days of the campaign? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violence_in_the_October_7_attacks https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/1rhrd36/fury_as_green_party_spin_doctor_denies_women_were/
