For over 20 years Sarnafil have been installing Intensive, Extensive and Biodiverse roofing systems worldwide, with over 1 million m² installed in Switzerland alone.  Today, Sarnafil Ltd. as the Sarnafil organisation responsible for the UK, is using this wealth of experience to contribute to the development of a wider green roofing market in the UK.

Since its establishment in 1980 Sarnafil Ltd. has grown to become market leader in the supply of single ply waterproofing systems for industrial and commercial, new and refurbishment roofing projects, providing quality roofing systems and extensive technical support to Architects, Specifiers, Clients and Contractors.  The introduction of SarnaVert biodiverse green roofing systems combines our comprehensive range of products and services with partnerships with horticultural experts.  This unique combination of products and services enables Sarnafil Ltd. to specify bespoke biodiverse green roofing solutions to meet a projects specific requirements, and provide a single source guarantee for the entire green roofing system.

Key to helping the specifier achieve their requirement on site is the Sarnafil 'Quality Loop', which applies Sarnafil's Concept to Completion approach to every SarnaVert project.

Starting with a Technical Adviser the Quality Loop can provide the specifier with;

• Presentation of the Sarnafil RIBA CPD Registered Seminar "Green Roofs for a Sustainable Environment", providing valuable CPD points.
• Assistance in the evaluation and decision on the most suitable system for the project.
• A detailed project specific specification in Sarnafil generic or NBS J42 format.
• Consultation on the technical drawings for the project.
• Design of the system against wind uplift.
• Condensation Risk Analysis.
• Drainage calculations.
• Budget or accurate pricing through a SarnaVert Registered Contractor.
• Provide samples, product and technical literature.

Following specification the HQ based Technical Services department will check all information prior to issue to the specifier, and check it once again when an order is secured to check that appropriate materials have been ordered to fulfil the specification.

Once on site the Applications Departments field based Field Technician can provide;

• In progress inspections of works.
• A Final inspection for guarantee.
• NVQ assessment.
• Tool box talks.
