Offers and wants: Wanted Urgently: Green Roofer for Flat Roof, Orpington
Hello! Hoping to do this in as environmentally friendly way as possible. Would you be interested in replacing the flat roof on a garage? A good price paid to the right person.
Your advice would be appreciated too. The area is Orpington, on the edge of South East London, near Kent.
Hi Am a green builder in Whitstable (kent) with an interest in strawbale and green roof projects, you can check my website @ www.tombuild.com (it's rough and not particularly thorough) am doing a similar project in Croydon this Summer so at the very least can pass some info your way. If you go for a green roof (whereby the roof acts as a large raised bed or boggy area) then inevitably the load bearing of the existing roof and wall structures will be the key to the depth of soil/fill you can place on any new roof - ideally a green roof with skylights (to avoid the use of lighting during the day). Cheers Tom
