A greener solution for protecting your cycle shelter or enclosure. Discover how our eco-friendly Sedum Green Roofs protect your bike shelter, enhance its sustainability, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to greener, healthier environments.
Did you know your bike shelter or bin store could also be a green space? Sedum roofing offers a seamless way to transform shelters into biodiverse environments, aligning with our collective environmental goals.
Sedum Roofing is a versatile, eco-friendly approach that transcends conventional roofing practices. Beyond mere shelter, it transforms spaces into thriving ecosystems while championing sustainability.
Whether you’re upgrading a commercial cycle shelter, residential bike store, or a public space, our sedum roofing options are tailored to fit. We provide fully installed, low-maintenance systems for durability and long-term benefits.
Sedum roofing replaces conventional shelter roofs with a living layer of robust, low-maintenance sedum varieties. Beyond just aesthetics, it offers insulation, water absorption, and extended durability, making it an innovative and sustainable choice for your next project.
We provide a full-grown sedum roof, which includes a waterproof EPDM layer, fleece roof drainage system, a 25mm pre-blended engineered growing medium and a full-grown sedum carpet roll. The sedum roll is comprised of a random selection of 20 sedum varieties, designed to suit all conditions.
The benefits of Sedum Roofing go beyond its beautiful appearance. These green roofs tackle urban challenges. They absorb stormwater, reduce flood risks, and quietly sequester carbon. Yet, it’s not just about function but also about fostering life. Sedum roofs are bustling hubs for wildlife, providing much-needed havens for insects like bees and butterflies while reducing the effects of urban heating.
In today’s world, where insect populations are decreasing, these green rooftops offer hope for revitalising ecosystems in city spaces. A leading UK report suggests flying insect numbers fell 64% between 2004 and 2002 (The Guardian, 2022) —with sedum roofing leading the charge. We can create thriving ecosystems and environments for insects to thrive amongst concrete-dense cities.
Concerned about upkeep? Don’t be. Sedum roofing is designed for minimal maintenance. These plants thrive with occasional watering during prolonged dry spells and a quick check-up now and then to ensure optimal health.
Our living roof system is meticulously designed for maximum protection.
Five layers work in harmony: a strengthened steel roof is layered with a waterproof EPDM system, followed by a fleece drainage layer, next is a 25mm MC1 growing medium topped with 20 sedum varieties.
Rest assured; structural integrity remains reliable with a sedum roof as our shelters are designed to structurally support the increased loadings.
Sedum roofs are built to last. Proper care can last up to 60 years, significantly outlasting traditional roofing materials. They also offer extra protection against weather damage, reducing wear and tear on the structure beneath and surrounding areas.

I was skeptical to begin with (big project costing a lot of money) but all fears were allayed
once I started to converse with James and the team. Along with the fact that it wasn't my project to begin with, I had picked it up from someone else who had left the school and had all the quotes.
I found the service offered by The Bike Storage Company professional, accommodating and delivered to timescale. The guys in the office were responsive to emails and actually answered questions regarding the installation and the engineers that came to put up the bike shelter actually took on board site specifics in terms of the student start and finish times and also cordoned off the works to ensure safety. Really great service offered and I'd be happy to come back and get any other projects done in the future which I think the school is planning to do. We've also seen a massive increase in student's that ride to school as well which is great!
