Examples of our Environmental Roofing work
Green Roofing
Commercial green roofs and even blue roofs can help to keep cities healthy, and adapt to the effects of climate change by reducing the need for artificial cooling in hot weather and reducing rainwater run-off. As well as those benefits they are also a great way of providing ecological diversity. Here at Central Group, our experts are market leading green roof installers, combining the finished planting scheme and all supportive components with a high quality and secure waterproofing system. Green roofs have grown in popularity as an environmental roofing service over the last decade, as they are an incredibly effective way to raise the sustainability profile of a building.
Solar Panel Roofing
Solar panel roofing designs are evolving. At Central Group we install traditional on-roof systems mounted above the roof and also in-roof integrated solar panels with photovoltaic cells that sit within the roof system. New Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) solar systems are versatile, highly energy efficient and lightweight.
Central Group works closely with leading suppliers of roof façade and solar technologies, ensuring every installation meets the highest standards of quality, durability and efficiency.
By choosing Central Group, your environmental roofing service will benefit from expert design, professional installation and a focus on sustainable energy solutions, helping reduce both environmental impact and long-term energy costs.
Benefits of Green and Solar Panel Roofing
Green and solar panel roofing offers significant environmental, financial and practical benefits.
Green roofs improve insulation, reduce energy costs, manage rainwater and greatly enhance biodiversity, creating sustainable urban spaces.
Solar panel roofing generates clean electricity, lowering energy bills and reducing carbon footprints, which can be a great bonus to implement as a company in the public eye.
Both systems increase property value and contribute to long-term durability by protecting underlying roof materials from weathering. They also support sustainability goals and may even qualify you for environmental incentives. By integrating green or solar panel roofing, buildings become more energy-efficient, eco-friendly and resilient, providing both immediate and long-lasting advantages for homeowners, businesses and the wider environment of our planet.

FAQs
What roofs are suitable for solar panels?
Most roofs can support solar panels, but optimal performance comes from south-facing roofs with minimal shading from immediate surroundings. Pitched roofs with slate, tile or metal coverings are ideal, though flat roofs can accommodate panels with mounting frames. Roofs must also be structurally sound to bear the extra weight and provide long-term durability. Consultation with a professional solar panel roofing installer is the best way to ensure suitability and maximise energy generation.
What makes a roof sustainable?
A sustainable roof uses environmentally friendly materials, enhances energy efficiency, and reduces environmental impact. Features can include green roofs, recycled or recyclable materials, high-performance insulation and solar panels. Environmental roofing services minimise heat loss, manage rainwater and extend the lifespan of the roof itself. This process supports both environmental responsibility and long-term cost savings for building owners.
What is the average cost of a green roof?
The cost of a green roof varies depending on size, design and plant type. On average in the UK, extensive green roofs can cost anywhere between £70–£120 per square metre, while intensive systems with deeper soil, landscaping and irrigation can reach anywhere up to £200–£350 per square metre. You should also be aware that any additional structural support may also increase overall expenses.
