Green Roofs

At C&S Roofing, we are passionate about creating a greener and more sustainable future. Our dedicated team of roofing experts specialises in the installation and maintenance of green roofs, providing innovative and eco-friendly solutions for commercial, institutional, and residential properties in Dublin and surrounding counties. No matter how big or small your budget may be, we’re sure to find the right way forward.

Our Services:

1. Green Roof Installation: A green roof, also known as a living roof, is a roof that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane. It may also include additional layers such as a root barrier, drainage, and irrigation systems.
2. Green Roof Structure and Drainage: Our skilled team will work closely with you to design and install a custom green roof tailored to your property’s needs. We use high-quality materials and carefully selected vegetation to create a thriving rooftop garden. Our systems ensure proper green roof drainage and water retention to maintain plant health and roof integrity.
3. Extensive vs Intensive Green Roof System: We offer both extensive and intensive green roof systems. Extensive green roofs are lightweight and require minimal maintenance, while intensive green roofs are heavier and can support a wider variety of plants and even small trees.
4. Green Roof Installation Cost: The cost of a green roof per square meter can vary depending on several factors, including the type of green roof, the complexity of the installation, and the materials used. Our team provides detailed quotes to ensure transparency and budget alignment.
5. Green Roof Maintenance: We provide comprehensive maintenance services to ensure the longevity and vitality of your green roof. Our experts will regularly inspect, clean, and perform necessary upkeep, ensuring optimal performance and preserving the integrity of your investment.
6. Green Roof Consultation: If you’re considering a green roof but need help figuring out where to start, our experienced consultants are here to guide you. We offer personalised consultations, analysing your property’s structure and advising on the best green roofing solutions to suit your goals and budget.

Best Plants for Green Roofs

Selecting the right plants is crucial for the success of a green roof. We recommend drought-resistant, low-maintenance plants such as sedums, grasses, and wildflowers that thrive in rooftop conditions.
