Green Eco and Biodiverse Roofs

Rising rapidly in popularity, Green Roofs can add a special dimension to your building. Whether you opt for a sedum roof or an exotic garden, the addition of greenery will enhance your environment as much as it gives pleasure. Dependant on architect’s specifications, all of the Flat Roof systems offered by Pellow Roofing can be incorporated within a Biodiverse Roof design.

 

Green, Eco or Biodiverse roofs are ones in which the roof space has been covered with living plants. Subject to weight considerations these plants can vary from mosses to lawns and from plants and shrubs to a wildlife meadow. Whatever the choice, Green Roofs can add a focal point to your outside space.

Other advantages of a Biodiverse roof include:

Environmental

The living plants trap water which would otherwise be allowed to run off into our waste systems. In times of heavy downpour, the water captured is stored and then released more slowly, thus alleviating flash run off problems. In addition the plants trap pollution helping to keep the air fresher and cleaner.

Heat management

Studies have shown that plants actively cool buildings by bringing shade, through lower heat absorption and evaporation. Studies by the University of Cardiff in 2007 showed that green roofs can reduce ambient temperature in urban areas by between 3.6°C and 11.6°C dependant on the region. This without affecting the warmth of a building in the winter.

Sound insulation

By their very nature, the layer of plants and soil make an excellent sound barrier, perfect for those homes and buildings which are close to busy roads or on aircraft flight paths.

We work closely with architects and builders to design the optimum solution and can provide suggested roof plans for any scenario.

I called five roofing companies only one eventually returned my call three weeks later, except for one - Pellows. My call was answered in person when l phoned, an appointment was made for the same week and the new roof was completed within the month. The quality and care of the workmanship and the impressive responsiveness to any concerns l had were immediately attended to by the skilled very experienced and highly personable Pellows team . I am delighted by the whole experience and l have a superb brand new roof.

I hope you this can be useful to you. Many thanks
Best wishes

Hi Ken & James,

We would like to give you a huge thank you for your commitment and effort to get our roof done in difficult conditions. You will be delighted (but not surprised, I suspect) to know that it proved totally weatherproof over the weekend – which was a great pleasure for us.

Thank you again,
Best regards

Dear James and Ken,

Many, many thanks for a superb job very quickly and efficiently done! Rest assured I will be singing your praises from the rooftops (sorry, couldn’t resist that one… Winking smile ) and recommending you to whomever I come across who needs flat roofing work done.

Brilliant – and I hope business keeps getting bigger and better for you!

All the best, and see you around.

Dear James & Ken,

Thank you very much for your prompt and efficient service in carrying out the emergency flat roof repairs to our holiday let in St Agnes which enabled us to keep things open and running as normal.

Thanks again
kind regards

Dear James & Ken,

Thank you for the work you carried out on my mothers property in Threemilestone. We were equally impressed by the way you went about the job and the tidy state that you left the property in when you were done. I don’t think either of us would think twice about using your company again or recommending you to anyone looking for a flat roofing firm.

Best wishes for the future
