GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic. It is a fibreglass coating that strengthens a flat roof, stops water getting in and lasts for many years. One question customers ask us is what GRP coating is. It is laid over a solid deck (the boards that form the flat surface of the roof). Once it sets, the roof is covered by one hard layer. GRP is one of three flat roof systems we fit and repair. The other two are EPDM rubber and 3-layer felt. If you already have a GRP roof that is leaking, it can often be repaired rather than replaced. The free inspection shows which it needs, and the photos and videos we send you on WhatsApp show you why. For more on the options, read our guide to roofing materials for flat roofs.
The right flat roof depends on the size and shape of your roof, what is under it and your budget. We fit and repair all three systems, so we have no reason to push one over another. GRP is a fibreglass coating that sets into a single hard layer. EPDM is a rubber membrane (a large sheet of synthetic rubber laid over the roof deck). 3-layer felt is built up from three layers of roofing felt bonded together. Each one suits some roofs better than others. At the free inspection we look at your roof, check the deck and the edges, and talk through which system fits. If your roof is already one of these and only part of it has failed, we will tell you if a repair will do. We quote the price after the inspection. Then you choose. If you are comparing materials before you call, our blog post on the best flat roofing materials sets them side by side.
Many flat roofs can be repaired, and we will never talk you into a new roof if a small repair will do. A leak on a flat roof often starts at one weak spot. That might be a split in felt, a lifted edge or a joint that has failed. Water sitting on the roof after rain, called ponding, can also wear the surface faster. Our post on water on a flat roof explains what ponding means and when to act. At the free inspection we find where the water is getting in and check the rest of the roof. If the deck underneath is sound and the damage is in one area, a repair is usually the sensible choice. If the covering has failed across the whole roof, or the deck has gone soft, a new roof may make more sense. We show you what we found in photos and videos on WhatsApp, so you can see it for yourself. For leaks on pitched roofs, see our roof repairs page.
Every flat roof job follows the same three steps, whether it is a small repair or a new roof.
The inspection costs nothing and you are under no obligation. Because you see the photos and videos, you know what the price covers before you agree to it. We only price the work once we have seen the roof, because no two flat roofs are the same. How long the job takes depends on the size and type of roof. Most flat roof installations take from a few days to two weeks. A repair to one area is often much quicker. We tell you how long your job should take when we give you the price. If water is coming in now, call 01438 222544. Emergency call-outs are answered 24 hours a day, so you are not left waiting with a leak over a weekend. Your price covers the system we agreed at the inspection, so there are no surprises about what is being fitted.
