GRP Fibreglass Roofing Specialists in Tunbridge Wells
GRP Fibreglass Roofs
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), also known as Fibreglass, flat roofs are tough, flexible and long-lasting. Usually applied directly to the dry timber roof boards and surrounding edges to create a hard-wearing waterproof seal.
A resin base coat is followed by fibreglass matting, then a second resin coat seals the composite surface. A final fire retardant, heavy duty coloured topcoat (typically black or dark grey) completes the look.
Fibreglass roofs have the benefit that they are one solid application that fills the entire surface with no joins or folds, making leaks or holes less likely to occur.
GRP roofing is a very popular roofing material more commonly known as fibreglass. Suitable for all flat roof types but commonly seen on outhouses and extensions due to its durability and long-lasting properties.
GRP, or fibreglass roofing, does not have any joints or seals making it completely watertight, when the fibreglass has completely cured it offers a protective hardwearing cover.

FAQs about our GRP fibreglass roofing service
Our customers often ask for advice about our services, so we have put together a list of the most common questions:
A professionally laid GRP fibreglass roof will last for at least 30 years with no measurable deterioration.
A GRP Flat Roof, or fibreglass roofing as it’s also known, is one of the most popular flat roofing solutions in the UK. GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Polyester, a composite material formed by strengthening plastic with fine fibres made of glass.
Although fibreglass roofs are superior and much more resistant to heat, moisture, water and fire than alternative flat roofing materials meaning that they need much less maintenance as a result, they still require a level of maintenance and cleaning occasionally.
GRP/Fibreglass is a newer roofing system that lends itself best to flat roofing but is also suitable for pitched roofs in some applications. Fibreglass is more durable than felt and stronger too. A fibreglass roof will last for more than 20 years and it’s less likely than felt to develop a fault.
Initially yes, however, the long-term benefits will be obvious as it will outperform the felt roof – you won’t have to worry about replacing it again for a very long time.
