BriggsAmasco are therefore a good choice to deliver a sustainable and waterproof roofing solution to the redevelopment of the Battersea Power Station located in south-west London. The nice looking and environmentally friendly roofs installed by the business encourages an improved sense of wellbeing to their occupants as well as including a biodiverse layer on to a normally grey and drab looking area of property, the roof.

These will consist of 850 residential apartments as well as retail facilities, business studios, theatre space and two levels of parking. As part of this phase BriggsAmasco has been contracted to supply six green roofs as well as two lower level roofs that will be made up of limestone paving.
