Subsidy for a green roof in Amsterdam

In Amsterdam, you can apply for a subsidy to build a green roof through the Green Subsidy Scheme. This scheme is intended for both individuals and organizations and encourages water collection and biodiversity in the city.

The subsidy can be up to 50% of the cost, depending on the type of green roof and water storage capacity. Roofs that store more water and contribute to biodiversity often qualify for a higher allowance.

Some conditions do apply. For example, the roof must usually have a minimum surface area and be able to store enough water. The structure of the roof and the type of planting are also often considered.

Frequently Asked Questions

By now you should have read about subsidies. But there are so many more elements involved in a green roof. Therefore, we have answered some frequently asked questions below.

Is your question not listed? Call, email or fill out a contact form. Specialist Gert-Jan will gladly think with you.

The free roof inspection actually works very simply. You make an appointment and specialist Gert-Jan will visit you to inspect the situation on your roof. During the free roof inspection we look at whether your roof is suitable for a green roof or what needs to be done before it is.

In addition, we advise you on the possibilities in terms of different types of green roof that you can install on your roof (this depends, among other things, on the construction and pitch of the roof on which the green roof will be laid).

The intensity of maintenance depends on the type of green roof you want installed. An extensive green roof (the sedum mat as you probably know it) does not need such intensive maintenance, about twice a year. You can do this just fine by yourself.

An intensive green roof also requires more intensive maintenance as shrubs, plants and sometimes even trees grow on the roof.

In most cases, you can have your green roof installed in half a day or a day, depending on the size of the roof. So you can enjoy your green roof within a day.In most cases, we can install green roofs from about three weeks after the application. Is there a rush? Then of course we are happy to think along with you in possibilities, feel free to indicate it.

Yes, a green roof can be installed throughout the year, including in winter. Only when it is freezing in winter, there is a possibility that green roofs cannot be laid due to the fact that the green roof cannot be removed from the ground at the nursery.

In many cases, a green roof can be installed within one day or within half a day, depending on the size of the green roof.
