Green Roof Maintenance

Living roofs still need looking after

Green roofs bring insulation, rainwater attenuation and biodiversity benefits, but they are not maintenance-free. Without care, weeds and tree seedlings take hold, bare patches appear and drainage outlets block.

Our green roof maintenance keeps the planting healthy and the drainage clear, helping the roof perform as designed.

Why you need it

Why your green roof needs maintenance

Protect the waterproofing

Tree seedlings and aggressive weeds can root into the build-up and damage the membrane below.

Keep drainage working

Blocked outlets can cause water to pond on the roof, adding load and risk of leaks.

Maintain coverage

Bare areas reduce the roof's benefits and invite weeds — re-planting keeps coverage even.

Meet planning or warranty conditions

Many green roofs require documented maintenance visits.

Our approach

Scheduled visits, safely carried out

Visits are planned around the growing season. Each visit covers weeding, plant checks, debris removal and outlet clearing.

Access is planned in advance, with suitable safe working methods for the roof in question.

Overhauled my garden with a large raised railway sleeper planter and gravel. Very quick work and quick to fulfil the snag list. Would use again!

William came to assess our garden and provided a thorough and professional survey. He took the time to fully understand the scope of what was needed, offered clear practical advice, and followed up promptly. His knowledge of planning rules, ground conditions, drainage and landscaping was immediately evident. We would highly recommend WB Design and Construction to anyone looking for honest, expert assessment and quality work. We look forward to working with William more in the future.

Replacing the lawn in our front and back yard has been done by W B Design & Construction. Starting the job from the quote was incredibly fast(one week) and all was done in less than two weeks. Very flexible even with changes introduced after the work has started and they've gone the extra mile. When they left they've cleaned all the areas perfectly. Highly recommended !

The team from WB Design & Construction have recently completed a garden makeover for me. This included paving, new lawn, fencing, raised beds and a shed base. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. They have transformed a patch of ground which was untidy and difficult to look after into a garden which will be easy to manage. I am looking forward to getting on with planting. The guys worked hard, despite periods of really inclement weather, and they were professional and helpful at all times.

Really pleased with Will and the team for helping us remove the bamboo we never knew we had. Luckily their expertise in removing bamboo and all the roots has really helped.

I couldn’t be happier with the work W B Design & Construction did on re-surfacing my front garden. From start to finish, they were absolutely fantastic. The turnaround was incredibly quick—they got everything done much faster than I expected, without compromising on quality in the slightest. Their attention to detail really stood out. Every aspect of the job was completed to a high standard, and it’s clear they take pride in their craftsmanship. What impressed me most, though, was how they were willing to go the extra mile—from offering helpful suggestions to ensuring the final finish was perfect, even down to the small touches that make a big difference. And all of this came at a very reasonable price, especially considering the level of service and quality delivered. Highly recommend W B Design & Construction—professional, reliable, and genuinely great to work with
