Green Roofs

Transform your property and lower your environmental impact with a custom green roof from K&M Roofing. A green or "living" roof is an innovative roofing system that incorporates vegetation, a specialized growing medium, and vital drainage layers sitting safely above a secure waterproof membrane.

The Benefits of a Green Roof

The Benefits of a Green Roof

Designed specifically to support plant life, green roofs offer incredible benefits for your building and the local environment. They actively help to:

  • Improve the thermal insulation of your building.

  • Significantly reduce rainwater run-off.

  • Enhance local biodiversity by providing habitats for wildlife.

  • Create a much more sustainable and eco-friendly building environment.

Green Roof Maintenance

To ensure your living roof thrives year after year, routine care is essential. To maintain a green roof, you should regularly remove weeds, clear away seasonal debris, and check the drainage systems. Monitoring plant health and conducting regular professional inspections will help keep the roof performing perfectly and significantly extend its lifespan.

Case Study

Green Roof - Romsey

We installed a SILTEC single-ply warm roof system on this new-build bungalow in Romsey, providing a durable and energy-efficient waterproofing solution.

Scope of Works

Once the roof system was complete, we installed the green roof build-up, consisting of:

  • 3.5mm protection fleece

  • Aluminium separation trim

  • 2mm filter fleece

  • 20mm drainage board

  • 100mm substrate

  • Wildflower blanket system

  • 500mm river stone border around the perimeter

Outcome

The completed installation provides a 20-year waterproofing warranty while creating a sustainable, biodiverse green roof. In addition to improving the appearance of the property, the system supports local wildlife, enhances rainwater management, and contributes to improved thermal performance, making it an environmentally friendly roofing solution with long-term benefits.
