Guaranteed GRP Flat Roofs, Built to Last

What Exactly is GRP Fibreglass Roofing?

GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic, and it’s essentially a very strong, highly durable composite material. Think of it like a boat hull – tough, lightweight, and completely watertight. For your roof, we apply layers of fibreglass matting saturated with a special resin directly to your roof deck. Once cured, this creates a single, continuous membrane with no seams or joins, which are often the weak points in traditional felt roofs. The finished GRP roof provides exceptional resistance to UV light, extreme weather, and general wear and tear, giving you peace of mind for decades. It’s a truly modern alternative to conventional roofing materials.

Why Choose GRP Over Traditional Felt for Your Flat Roof?

Many homeowners in Sherford and the surrounding areas are choosing GRP over older materials like felt, and for good reason. Traditional felt roofs often suffer from seams that can split, making them prone to leaks, and they can degrade quickly under harsh weather conditions. GRP, on the other hand, offers a truly seamless and monolithic surface that won't crack, blister, or rot. It’s incredibly strong, highly fire-resistant, and requires very little maintenance once installed. Plus, it has an impressive lifespan, typically lasting for 25 years or more, often with a long guarantee from the material manufacturer. If you need a flat roof that's built to last and offers superior protection, GRP is a great investment for your home.

There are no sales teams, no middlemen, and no subcontractors – just clear communication and direct accountability from your initial phone call to the completion of your new GRP roof.

The Installation Process: What to Expect from Your New GRP Roof

Installing a GRP flat roof is a meticulous process that begins with thoroughly preparing the roof deck. We ensure the surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound before laying down the fibreglass matting and specialist resin. This creates the primary waterproof layer. We then apply a coloured topcoat, which not only provides additional protection but also gives your new roof an attractive, smooth, and uniform finish. Every step, from the preparation to the final touches, is carried out with precision and expertise, ensuring a robust and faultless roofing system. We take pride in leaving your property tidy and the job completed to your absolute satisfaction.

Beyond New Roofs: GRP Replacements and Repairs

Is your existing flat roof leaking or showing signs of serious wear? Many older flat roofs, particularly those made with traditional felt, eventually fail. GRP is an ideal solution for replacing these tired or failing roofs. We can strip back the old material, assess the underlying structure, and install a brand-new GRP system that will protect your property for decades to come. Even if you have an existing GRP roof that has suffered localised damage, we can often carry out targeted repairs to restore its integrity. Don’t wait for a small leak to become a major problem; if you have concerns about your current flat roof, give us a call.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About GRP Roofing

Answers to common questions about our GRP fibreglass roofing services in Crownhill, Plymouth, and the surrounding areas.

What Exactly is GRP Roofing, and Why is it a Great Choice for My Property?

+

GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic, and it's a fantastic, modern solution for flat roofs. Unlike older methods like felt, GRP creates a completely seamless, watertight surface that's incredibly durable. We apply a liquid resin and fibreglass matting which cures to form a solid, hard-wearing layer. Homeowners and businesses across Devon and Cornwall choose GRP because it offers superb protection from our often challenging weather. It’s a truly professional roofing system, designed to last for decades, giving you a top-quality, guaranteed finish that looks neat and performs brilliantly. It’s an ideal choice for extensions, garages, dormers, or any flat roof on your property.

How Long Can I Expect a GRP Flat Roof to Last Compared to Other Options?

+

When you invest in a new flat roof, you want it to stand the test of time, and GRP really delivers. Unlike traditional felt roofs, which often crack, bubble, or tear after a few years, a properly installed GRP flat roof can last for 20 years or more. Its seamless nature means there are no joins for water to get through, making it exceptionally resilient to leaks. This long lifespan means fewer repairs down the line, saving you money and hassle in the long run. We’re proud of the quality of our work, and our experience ensures your GRP roof is built to last.

Is GRP Fibreglass Roofing Suitable for All Kinds of Flat Roofs?

+

Absolutely. GRP roofing is incredibly versatile and works well for a wide range of applications on your home or domestic property. Whether you're looking to replace an old, leaky felt roof on a garage, create a durable surface for a new extension, or need a reliable roof for a dormer or balcony, GRP is a superb option. Its ability to be moulded to complex shapes means it’s perfect for detailed areas around pipes or skylights too. Getting a GRP roof means you’re choosing a high-performance system for virtually any flat roofing job.

What's Involved in Getting a GRP Flat Roof Installed by Devon and Cornwall Roofing?

+

Getting a new GRP flat roof from us is a straightforward process, focused on quality and minimal disruption. First, we'll arrange a visit to your property to assess the existing roof and give you a clear, no-obligation quote. Once you’re happy, we’ll carefully prepare the area, removing the old roofing material. We then lay down new decking if needed, ensuring a solid, smooth base. The fibreglass matting is then laid and saturated with the liquid GRP resin, creating that seamless, robust layer. Finally, we apply a coloured topcoat for UV protection and a great finished look. It’s a professional job, handled directly by me, so you get consistent quality from start to finish.

Does a GRP Roof Need Much Looking After Once It's Finished?

+

One of the major benefits of a GRP roof is how little maintenance it needs once it's finished. Unlike felt, which can require regular patching, GRP is incredibly tough and doesn't suffer from the same issues. You won't need to worry about moss or algae taking hold in the same way, and it's easy to clean with just water and a brush if it gets dirty. This means less time on the ladder for you and more peace of mind. Our quality GRP roofs are designed to be a ‘fit and forget’ solution, letting you enjoy your property without constant worries about your roof.

How Do GRP Roofs Compare on Cost to Traditional Felt Roofing?

+

Initially, the cost of a GRP roof might be a bit higher than a basic felt roof. However, it's crucial to look at the long-term value. Felt roofs often need patching or full replacement within 5-10 years, incurring repeated costs. A GRP roof, properly installed, is designed to last for 20 years or more, often with a long guarantee. This means that over its lifespan, a GRP roof is a far more cost-effective investment, saving you money on future repairs and replacements. You’re getting superior durability and performance that felt simply can’t match, making it a wise choice for your property.

Can Devon and Cornwall Roofing Fit GRP Roofs in My Specific Area?

+

Whether you're in Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay, Truro, Falmouth, or any of the smaller towns and villages from the South Hams to the Lizard Peninsula, we've got you covered.
