Fibreglass roofing in Burgess Hill for flat roofs, balconies and dormers. A hard-wearing, seamless GRP finish built up on site, with a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tell us about the leak, the damage or the job you have in mind. We aim to respond the same day.
We look at the roof, explain what we find and give you a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
We carry out the repair or installation, then test and check the finished work before we leave.
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.
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.
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.
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.
