Fibreglass roofing in Burgess Hill

  1. 01

    How a GRP roof is built

    GRP stands for glass reinforced plastic. Resin and glass fibre matting are laid over a timber deck and set into one solid, seamless layer. A coloured topcoat then goes on to protect it from sunlight and weather and to give a smooth, tidy finish.

  2. 02

    Good for roofs you walk on

    Because it sets hard, fibreglass handles foot traffic better than softer roof coverings. That makes it a popular choice for balconies, roof terraces and roofs you need to reach for maintenance. A non-slip finish can be added where people will walk regularly.

  3. 03

    Weather it needs

    Fibreglass resin needs dry weather and a reasonable temperature to set properly. Rain, frost or damp in the deck while it cures can spoil the finish. We plan fibreglass jobs around the forecast and cover the roof if the weather turns before it has set.

What to expect from fibreglass roofing

We look at the roof, check the deck and agree the details with you, including the topcoat colour and edge trims. Fibreglass needs a firm, dry timber deck, so we usually fit new boards over the joists after stripping the old covering. Your free quote sets all of this out.

Edge trims go on first, then the resin and matting are laid across the roof and rolled in. Once that layer has set, we apply the topcoat. Trims, upstands and outlets are all bonded into the same layer, so there are no weak joins. Smaller roofs are often finished in a day.

What's included

  • Old roof stripped back
  • New deck boards where needed
  • Resin and glass fibre matting laid
  • Protective coloured topcoat
  • Bonded trims, upstands and outlets
  • Non-slip finish on request

Fibreglass roofing questions

Is fibreglass or EPDM better for my flat roof in Burgess Hill?

Both are good flat roof systems. Fibreglass is hard and seamless, so it's better for balconies and roofs you'll walk on. EPDM is flexible and quick to lay, and suits garages and extensions that are rarely walked on. We'll recommend one after looking at your roof and how you use it.

Can a fibreglass flat roof crack over time?

Fibreglass can crack if the deck underneath moves or flexes, or if the roof was laid in poor conditions. That's why we fit a firm, dry deck first and only lay the resin in suitable weather. Small cracks can usually be repaired and recoated without replacing the whole roof.

What colours do fibreglass roofs come in?

The topcoat comes in a range of colours, with grey and charcoal the most popular for homes. A darker colour hides dirt well, while a lighter one reflects more sunlight. We'll show you the options when we quote, so the roof suits your extension and the rest of the house.

Does a fibreglass roof smell while it's being fitted in Burgess Hill?

Yes, for a short time. The resin has a strong smell while it's being laid and setting, which usually fades within a day or so. We'll suggest keeping nearby windows closed while we work, and the smell won't linger once the roof has cured.
