Innovative roof garden installation on a challenging cliff site, featuring a Viking Roofspec Roof Garden System for optimal waterproofing and aesthetic integration with the coastal environment.

Category: Residential
Location: Banks Peninsula

What we did:
Installing a roof garden system is never a particularly easy feat. So, when the building is ‘hung’ off the side of a cliff and the site has no vehicle access, the project becomes even more interesting. This architecturally designed masterpiece on Banks Peninsula included a Viking Roof Garden System that offers both functional and aesthetic benefits as it blends in with its coastal environment

The project involved supply and installation of a waterproofing membrane system on a naturally challenging cliff site. The material for the proposed system was in excess of 2 tonnes and with no vehicle access within 50 metres, all material had to be carried and loaded onto the roof by hand.

"They were really good. When a new sub-contractor comes on site, you look at their work for about half an hour and you sort of know if you have to worry about them or not. I knew straight away I didn’t have to at all," says Logan.

The product:
Viking Roofspec Roof Garden System is a built-up system with layers consisting of:

  • 2 layers of General Garden FLL Anti-Root torch-on membrane
  • Roof garden drainage board which incorporates moisture retention matt and protection course
  • Roof garden aluminum edging to retain garden materials

Size: Roof size 180m².
Work area: The Viking Roof Garden was installed on 2 x main roof areas.

The result:
Being a roof garden with living spaces underneath, waterproofing is of the utmost importance and Nottswood Construction needed a specialist who they could trust to do the job right. Since completion, the owners have enjoyed the aesthetic benefits of a well-installed roof garden system. We delivered on time and to a very high standard with a happy client and a happy homeowner.

"It was a major project for me and I needed professional installers. So I just said to Viking that I wanted the best. Based on the work they did, it’s definitely a no brainer for me to continue working with them. There’s no job too big or too small for them and their quality is the highest I’ve seen in the torch-on membrane."
- Logan Nottswood, Owner, Nottswood Construction

Professional Reviews

“At the end of the day, it comes down to WPC’s quality and their attention to detail when they are planning the works. Their work is very streamlined, they’re professional, and they understand that construction doesn’t always go as intended. They are nimble enough to change a sequence in the build which is pretty important, and they’re very receptive to change and suggestions.”
