How did we pick the Best Green Roof Companies?
The last two years have incorporated a lot of research into green roofs, including several projects.
But we have included companies that specialise in DIY green roof projects – Roofing Superstore and Roofing Supplies for example – because that’s what we love. But it’s also important to cater for large scale commercial projects.
To account for that we have scoured reviews, projects and the quality of all available products to highlight the best living roof companies around.
Roofing Superstore
Whilst Roofing Superstore doesn’t just focus on green roofs, it has absolutely everything you need to build a DIY green roof. Of any size.
If it’s the modular look you’re after, they stock some brilliant wildflower green roof trays alongside some equally brilliant sedum roof trays. These products are primarily Wallbarn – including drainage membranes and living roof filter fleeces.
You can even purchase entire, pre-grown green roofs. From 15 – 100 metres square in size. So whether you’re a DIY bunny or a ‘sort it all out for me please’ roofer, Roofing Superstore have you covered.
Roofing Supplies
Much like Roofing Superstore, Roofing Supplies sell equally lovely modular sedum and wildflower green roof trays for the ultimate in home assembly. There’s also a sedum only option available for that year round green look.
Its ANS green roofing section has everything you’d need to begin planning a basic green roof. From there on you’d just need to source a drainage layer, filter layer and living roof plants or seeds.
Another excellent DIY green roofing store!
Bauder
Green roofing experts Bauder have installed hundreds, if not thousands of commercial and residential green roofs over the years.
Bauder’s living roofs combines the finished planting scheme AND all the necessary structural and supportive components – drainage, waterproof layers, filtering etc.

Green Roofs Direct
