Wildflower 4000sqm Roof For London Student Block

The installation team have been keeping up their fitness with this large green roof project for the impressive Mannequin House Student accomodation complex. This large set of student residential facilities based in Walthamstow, East London caters for many of the London located universities and colleges.

After a some months marching up and down many staircases to access the various levels The Urban Greening Company roof team completed this 4000 sqm wildflower roof. The project was originally estimated at taking a few weeks but lack of crane access, high winds and delays in other areas of the project saw the installation run from early February to the beginning of May.

But the final job, which runs across four separate floors on the huge seven story student block, was successfully completed and our team were fitter for it!

The addition of Aquaten water retentive fleece within the construction will help the wildflower roof survive, particulalry as we experience increasingly long dry spells, and assist with storm water mitigation in this heavily urban environment.
