Historically, lavender was grown and harvested across areas of London, but as time passed this slowly disappeared from the capital.
From the start, Wild About Roofs claims to “Bring Lavender Back to London” and has developed methods to utilise the roof space to grow this beautiful plant. Besides this, it gives you a striking pool of colour attracting bees and butterflies.
In addition there is a possibility for a return for your money from a yearly harvest. The yearly harvest can be utilised to make a different range of products.
This year, Wild About Roofs installed some lavender rooftops in Mayfair where the client is very pleased with the outcome and have commissioned more roofs to be installed. The company also had a project on a domestic house in Hounslow creating a bespoke solution on residential space. If you love nature you should love our company.
People tend to think that a lavender roof is much more expensive than a standard green roof but the cost is roughly the same. The cost of installing a green roof can be easily offset by reducing ground level water storage. Also, it acts as an additional layer of thick insulation and improves the air quality by absorbing pollutants.
The benefits of a Lavender Roof are countless. A research study from the University of Melbourne, said the green roof boosted the mental resources controlling attention, which explains why a moment of looking at green roofs (for a mere 40seconds) boosts tired workers.
Wild About Roofs sets itself aside by being a one stop contractor for all roofing requirements and the company will focus on the mission to bring lavender back to London.
