Sustainable urban drainage solutions (SuDS) for flat roofs, designed to manage stormwater by slowing its discharge through a controlled outlet.
At Best Roofers, we install Bauder-approved blue roofing systems that regulate rainwater, prevent flooding and reduce pressure on drainage networks. In urban areas where drainage infrastructure is already under strain, a blue roof controls water flow and protects buildings from water damage.
We work with commercial, industrial and public sector clients, delivering custom water solutions that ensure properties remain safe and compliant with SuDS regulations.
Unlike traditional roofs that drain rainwater immediately, a blue roof temporarily retains water, slowly releasing it at a controlled rate. This prevents drainage systems from being overwhelmed, reducing the risk of flooding, water pooling and infrastructure damage.
Blue roofs also support rainwater harvesting, allowing stored water to be reused for irrigation and cooling systems. This leads to lower water bills and improved sustainability.
STORMsub – The Best of Both Worlds
This hybrid system combines blue and green roof technology, so you get stormwater control alongside the environmental benefits of rooftop planting. Perfect for sustainable developments aiming to maximise eco and drainage benefits.
STORMcell – Large Scale Water Storage
For projects that require serious rainwater retention, STORMcell creates a storage void beneath the roof surface, holding large volumes of water until it’s safe to release. Ideal for commercial developments and high-risk flood zones.
STORMvoid – Discreet Stormwater Management
If you need stormwater control without altering the look of your roof, STORMvoid sits beneath paved surfaces like terraces and podium decks, ensuring effective drainage without changing the external building design.
We are Bauder-approved blue roofing specialists, providing expert waterproofing, long-term performance and full compliance with SuDS regulations. Our solutions enhance stormwater management, improve building resilience, and support sustainability goals, including green roofs and warm roofs and roof window installation to bring natural light into the building below.
