Living/Green roof in full bloom
Imagine this in Cornwall, well it is possible, our design and build department can give you a full structured plan of your existing property, or new build with a fully fitted living roof, subject to planning rules. If you want to DIY your roof then we can supply and fit EPDM single ply membrane pre setup to accommodate your garden now all you have to do is the garden itself. Our 20 Year guarantee will still be on your roof and structure but not on the plants saying you money. 
 
 
+ Can anyone have a green roof?
There's more to this than just a garden on a roof, imagine all the garages in Devon and Cornwall planted with a beautiful, colourful garden, does that sound like a good idea?  Well we think it does, we can convert your garage, shed, flat or low pitch roof to a wonderful looking roof garden. "WOW" what will the neighbours say.  So we first look at the project and view it from all angles, even from the neighbours views because this can have an affect on the decision that you take, then and only then will we work on the structural stability of your project and if any new beams or cross members need upgrading or replacing, once this is surveyed we can then give a full quotation on the project and time scale.  Although we use EPDM as our base we also use many other structural aids, we work out the most efficient way to achieve the project end.  This means customer satisfaction as we will ask you to recommend us to friends, family and everyone in your neighbourhood!
YES. anyone can have a garden roof all you will need is the roof, we do the rest. 
+Important note.
We give a full 20 year guarantee.

Installation
Other guarantees will be project specific and can only be discussed per project.
+You reap what you sow.
 
 
Enjoy it!

Designing and tending a living roof in the garden should be fun.  If, over time, things do not develop quite as

expected then add a little more substrate where possible or sow a few more seeds, or both. Get up on to the

roof and have a look at the bugs and beasts that you have attracted. Above all, let other people know and help

spread the word!

 

Please remember to seek out and

follow all relevant safety advice when

accessing roofs and high places.

 

In the construction industry around one-quarter of all deaths and serious injuries are due to falls from ladders. If

using a ladder or other equipment, please refer to and follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions.

Techniques Living roofs are keen to hear from people who have made a living roof in

or around their garden. Please contact:greenroof@techniques-flat-roofing.co.uk
