GRP Fibreglass Roofing for Homes and Balconies in Greater London

A GRP fibreglass roof is built on the roof itself. Resin and glass-fibre matting are laminated over a prepared deck, then sealed with a pigmented topcoat once the laminate has cured. Because the whole surface sets as one continuous layer, there are no laps or joints for water to work through. GRP also forms neatly around corners and upstands, which is why it is often chosen for dormers, small extensions and roofs with awkward shapes.

GRP is widely used on balconies and roof terraces too, as topcoats are available with a textured, anti-slip finish that you can walk on. Ashlar Roofing lays fibreglass systems with preformed edge trims and corner details bonded into the laminate, so the edges are as watertight as the main roof. Fibreglass is weather-dependent: the resin needs a dry deck and suitable temperatures to cure, so laminating is timed around the forecast and never rushed through damp days.

Why choose us

Why Choose Ashlar Roofing for Fibreglass Roofs

Curing Never Rushed

We time laminating to suitable weather, because resin that cures in damp conditions will not give you the roof you are paying for.

Edges Built into the Laminate

Trims, corners and outlets are laminated into the roof, so the most vulnerable areas get the same protection as the rest.

Advice on Balcony Finishes

Where a roof doubles as a balcony, we can advise on textured topcoats that give better grip in the wet.

Other Systems If Better

If rubber or felt would suit your roof better, we install those too and will tell you so.

The work

How We Carry Out Fibreglass Roofs

The main stages of the job, from the first inspection to the final check.

  1. Check Deck and Weather

    GRP needs a dry, stable deck, so we check the boards for moisture and movement and plan laminating days around the forecast.

  2. Fit Boards and Trims

    Damaged decking is replaced with suitable boards and the edge trims are fixed in position, ready to be laminated in.

  3. Laminate the Roof

    Resin and glass-fibre matting are rolled out across the roof and trims, consolidated to remove trapped air, then left to cure.

  4. Apply the Topcoat

    Once the laminate has cured, the topcoat is applied to seal and protect it. We then go over the finished roof with you to confirm it matches what was agreed.

FAQs

Common Questions About Fibreglass Roofs

Can a fibreglass roof be laid in winter?

It can, but only on suitable days. The resin needs a dry deck and temperatures within the manufacturer's range to cure, so rain, frost and high humidity all cause delays. Winter jobs are planned around dry spells, which can mean you need some flexibility on dates.

Is GRP suitable for a balcony?

Yes. A GRP balcony is rigid and has no joints, and a textured topcoat gives you a surface to walk on with better grip in wet weather. The deck and structure underneath must be suitable, and railing fixings need careful detailing so they do not break the waterproof layer.

Will a fibreglass roof crack?

GRP can crack if the deck underneath moves or is the wrong type. Using the right decking boards, fixing them correctly and allowing for movement at junctions reduces that risk. Fine cracks in the topcoat can usually be repaired.

What colours can a GRP roof be?

Topcoats come in a range of colours, with grey and charcoal the most common on homes. Lighter shades reflect more heat, which can help on roofs that face full sun.

Do I need building regulations for a new fibreglass roof?

If more than a quarter of the roof area is being replaced, the Building Regulations usually apply and the roof may need insulating to current standards. We explain what applies to your roof before any work begins.
