Even a tiny leak or a few loose tiles can cause major headaches down the line – think damp, rot, and even damage to your home's structure. We're experts at pinpointing and fixing roof leaks quickly, keeping your property safe and dry.
GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic, but you might know it better as fibreglass. For flat roofing, it’s a modern, incredibly tough system made up of a liquid resin applied over a base layer, often with a 'catalyst' to help it harden. Once cured, it forms a seamless, hard-wearing roof that’s totally waterproof. It's a fantastic solution for any flat roof, be it on an extension, garage, or commercial building.
Many customers ask us this, and we highly recommend fibreglass for its sheer durability. Unlike traditional felt flat roofs, a GRP fibreglass system won't crack or bubble. It gives you a truly seamless finish, meaning there are no weak points for water to get in. It stands up brilliantly to all kinds of weather, UV rays, and even foot traffic. If you're looking for a long-lasting, watertight flat roof, it's a superb choice.
A properly installed GRP fibreglass roof is designed to last a very long time – often 20 to 30 years, and sometimes even longer! We're confident in the quality of our work and the materials we use, which is why we offer a solid guarantee on all our fibreglass roofing projects. It’s a real investment that pays off over many years, giving you complete peace of mind.
Fitting a new fibreglass roof is a precise job. First, we prepare the roof deck, making sure it's clean, dry, and structurally sound. Then, we lay down the fibreglass matting, carefully impregnating it with the specialist GRP resin. A 'catalyst' is mixed into the resin to start the curing process. Once that's cured, we apply a topcoat in your chosen colour, which adds extra protection and the final look. The whole system creates a robust, seamless covering for your flat roof.
Absolutely! This is one of the biggest benefits of choosing GRP fibreglass roofing. Once your new flat roof is installed, it needs very little looking after. There are no seams to worry about, and it's highly resistant to moss and algae growth. A simple wash down now and then with soapy water is usually all it takes to keep it looking great. This means more time for you and less worrying about your roof.
Yes, they do! While the classic grey finish is very popular, the topcoat of a GRP fibreglass system can come in a range of colours. This means you can choose a shade that best complements your property's exterior. We can discuss the available options with you to find the perfect look for your new flat roof, whether it's for a garage, extension, or another area. We want your new roofing to look just right.
