Fibreglass roof (GRP) maintenance, repairs, & installation
Roof Co are fibreglass roof experts, and as a small independent roofing business covering Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Humberside, we have the practical knowledge to assess existing GRP roofs, carry out repairs and install new systems where appropriate.
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) roofing, often referred to as fibreglass roofing, has become a popular option for flat and low-pitched roofs. It creates a seamless, hard-wearing surface that can provide excellent resistance to rain, weathering and everyday wear. For garages, extensions, porches, dormer roofs and other applications, a professionally installed GRP system can offer a practical and long-lasting roofing solution.

Common GRP roofing problems
Although GRP is a durable roofing material, it isn’t immune to damage or deterioration. Problems can arise through age, poor installation, impact damage, movement within the roof structure, or exposure to prolonged weather conditions.
Typical issues include cracks, splits, blisters, damaged edges, failed trims, and leaks around roof details. Water can also enter around outlets, rooflights, vents, and junctions if these areas have deteriorated or if installers did not install them correctly.
You shouldn’t simply cover up surface damage without understanding what caused it. Movement or moisture beneath the GRP may indicate a more significant problem that you need to address before a repair can provide a reliable result.

GRP roof repairs and maintenance
Regular checks can help identify deterioration at an early stage. Keeping outlets and drainage channels clear is particularly important, while damaged trims, joints and surface defects should be investigated before they allow water into the underlying structure.
When a GRP roof develops a leak, we look beyond the point where water has appeared inside the property. Moisture can travel beneath roofing materials, so locating the actual source is an important part of carrying out an effective repair.
Where the existing GRP system remains fundamentally sound, a targeted repair may be all that’s required. If widespread deterioration or problems with the underlying deck are present, we’ll explain the findings and discuss the appropriate options.

New GRP roof installation
A GRP roof can be particularly suitable where you want a neat, low-maintenance finish with clean detailing around edges and roof features. However, the quality of the installation has a major influence on how well the finished roof performs.
Before work begins, factors such as the roof deck, insulation, falls, drainage, trims, outlets, and junctions need to be considered. The GRP system itself must then be applied correctly, with appropriate preparation and attention to detailing.
We’ll help you choose a roofing solution based on the building and its requirements rather than simply recommending a particular system. A properly designed and installed GRP roof can provide a durable finish while complementing the appearance of an extension, garage or other part of the property.

Why choose a local GRP roofing specialist?
GRP roofing may look straightforward, but preparation and detailing are crucial. Small errors around edges, outlets or junctions can eventually result in water ingress, which is why experience and careful workmanship matter.
Working with a local independent roofing company also means you can speak directly to the people carrying out the work. We’ll assess the existing roof, explain our findings and provide clear advice without using a high-pressure sales approach.
Our aim is to provide sound workmanship and practical recommendations, whether that means repairing your existing GRP roof, carrying out preventative maintenance or installing a completely new system.
