Although not always necessary, it is a good idea to speak to your local authority planning department about the relevant permissions and building regulations for green roofs in your area. You may need to submit your plans and carry out a roofing survey to ensure your existing roof structure is capable of bearing any additional weight beyond the membrane. Local building control may request a consultation for this.

Permaroof Kent offer free roofing surveys and can take a look at your roofing for you. We’ll give you an honest assessment and advise you of your options for green roofing, should improvements be needed.

Every green roofing job has its own set of requirements and costs depend on several factors including the project scale and long term plan. EPDM rubber roofing is our membrane of choice for green roofs, because of longevity, reliability and performance, yet it is faster to install than other systems, which lowers installation time and therefore minimises cost.

At Permaroof Kent, we offer a free, no-obligation green roof survey and consultation and talk you through your options. We’ll detail all your costs in a comprehensive quote with no hidden extras.

Green roofing systems are gaining popularity mainly in urban areas and are applicable to both residential and industrial buildings. This is because they have a high aesthetic value and they are efficient in energy conservation.

The beautiful outdoor spaces can be made suitable for living areas, commercial communal areas or they can be conserved as natural habitat for different species of birds and wildlife. They can reduce heat loss and improve heat protection, reduce local pollution and help with sound insulation.
