Welcome to Kingsley Roofing London, your trusted choice for innovative roofing solutions. We specialise in the installation of Green Roofs and Blue Roofs, transforming ordinary rooftops into sustainable, environmentally-friendly, and water-efficient spaces.
At the close of 2021, we embarked on what would be the largest green and blue roof installation project in the UK, encompassing over 22,000 square meters of blue, green, and bio-diverse (brown) roofing systems, complemented by the integration of photovoltaic solar panels.
Leveraging our expertise in roofing systems, we meticulously designed and executed this complex installation, achieving successful completion within a timeframe of just over 16 months.
The project included the incorporation of podiums and comprehensive hard and soft landscaping elements. Our client had also specified non-combustible insulation. We went to one of our partners and gave them the project brief and specification. They provided us with a full specification for the product as well as U-Value calculations and condensation risk analysis.

Green Roofs, also known as sedum roofs, grass roofs, or living roofs, are a revolutionary approach to roofing. They involve the partial or complete coverage of rooftops with plants and vegetation, creating a lush and eco-friendly environment.
Environmental Sustainability
Green Roofs reduce carbon footprint by absorbing CO2 and releasing oxygen. They enhance biodiversity by providing a habitat for birds and insects.
Energy Efficiency
Green Roofs act as a natural insulator, reducing heating and cooling costs. They mitigate the urban heat island effect, keeping the building and surrounding area cooler.
Stormwater Management
Green Roofs absorb and retain rainwater, reducing runoff and preventing flooding. They filters pollutants from rainwater, improving water quality.
Aesthetic Appeal
Green Roofs enhance the visual appeal of the building and the surrounding landscape. They can create a green oasis in urban environments.
Blue Roofs are designed to control rainwater where it lands. The blue roof outlet restricts the discharge of stormwater to a calculated and defined flow rate, significantly slowing down the volume of water leaving the site. Water continues to discharge from the roof at a controlled rate over a set period, typically up to 48 hours.
Stormwater Management
Blue Roofs control the flow of rainwater, preventing overwhelming of drainage systems. They reduces the risk of flooding and erosion.
Water Conservation
Blue Roofs maximise the use of rainwater for landscaping or other non-potable purposes. They promote sustainable water practices.
Urban Planning Compliance
Blue Roofs meet and exceed local regulations for stormwater management. They demonstrate a commitment to environmentally responsible construction.
Flexibility in Design
Blue Roofs are a daptable to various building structures and designs. They can be integrated with other roofing systems seamlessly.
