Installation, Maintenance, and Environmental Benefits
LDN Watertight brings the future of roofing to London with green roofs that combine innovation, style, and environmental benefits. Our team has helped property owners, architects, and developers transform roofs into living, functional spaces that improve efficiency and support urban biodiversity. If you want a solution that looks good and delivers real performance, our green roofs London service gives you exactly that.
A green roof is a living layer of plants and growing medium, built on top of a waterproofing membrane. The system includes drainage for rainwater, insulation for efficiency, and a carefully chosen mix of plants like sedum and succulents that thrive in the UK climate. We install green roofs on flat roofs, existing buildings, and new developments. Tray systems and modular designs make installation quick and suitable for a wide range of properties.
You can choose from several green roof types:
Extensive Green Roofs use a shallow growing medium and low maintenance plants. They are ideal for flat roofs, providing environmental benefits with minimal care.
Intensive Green Roofs have a deeper growing medium and can support a wider variety of plants, even small trees. These roofs create garden-like spaces and new areas for people and wildlife.
Biodiverse Green Roofs are designed to attract bees, birds, and invertebrates, using native plants to create habitats that support the wider environment.
Modular Tray Systems offer instant results, easy installation, and flexibility for existing buildings and projects of all sizes.
Our team will advise you on the best system for your property and goals.
Green roofs provide a range of environmental benefits for your building and the city. By covering your roof with plants, you help cool the area and reduce the urban heat island effect. Green roofs improve air quality, absorb rainwater to protect drainage systems, and give valuable habitats for birds, bees, and insects.
They also make your building more efficient, adding insulation and lowering heating and cooling costs. Over time, this saves money and reduces your carbon footprint. The lifespan of a green roof can exceed 40 years with regular checks and simple maintenance.
Our process is simple and direct. After a structural survey, we design a green roof system tailored to your needs and building. Installation includes a high-quality waterproofing membrane, proper drainage, the right growing medium, and the best plants for your location. We make sure every aspect is covered, so your green roof delivers performance and reliability.
Maintenance for most systems is straightforward. We recommend seasonal checks to keep drainage clear and plants healthy. Intensive systems may need extra care, but our team will support you with practical advice and maintenance packages.
