GRP ROOFING FIBREGLASS ROOFING
GRP roofing, commonly known as Glass Reinforced Plastic roofing or fibreglass roofing, has become one of the strongest, most reliable, and longest-lasting roofing systems available for both residential and commercial properties. At Capital Inspections, we specialise in providing high-quality GRP fibreglass roofing installations that deliver exceptional performance, durability, and long-term protection. Our team is fully trained, equipped, and experienced in installing GRP roofing systems to the highest industry standards, ensuring our clients receive a roofing solution that stands strong for decades.
What Makes GRP Roofing Special?
Unlike traditional felt or bitumen roofing systems, GRP roofing offers a completely seamless finish. One of the biggest causes of roof leaks is weak points at joints, seams, or overlapping materials. GRP eliminates these issues by creating a single, continuous membrane that prevents water penetration entirely. This is why GRP roofing is widely preferred for flat roofs, garages, dormers, extensions, balconies, and other areas where long-term waterproofing is essential.
GRP roofing is made by layering fibreglass matting with advanced resins. Once cured, it forms a solid, highly durable, and fully bonded structure. With no weak points, no joins, and no exposed edges, the result is a smooth, watertight surface capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions and heavy use.
Benefits of GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP roofing provides property owners with many significant advantages:
1. Extremely Long Lifespan
A professionally installed GRP roof can last 25 to 40 years with minimal maintenance. It does not rot, split, blister, or crack under normal conditions, making it one of the most durable roofing options available.
2. Completely Waterproof
The seamless design ensures outstanding waterproof protection. This makes GRP ideal for areas exposed to standing water, persistent rain, or complex roof shapes where other materials may fail.
3. Low Maintenance
Once installed, GRP requires very little maintenance. Occasional cleaning is enough to keep the roof looking fresh and functioning perfectly.
4. Strong and Impact Resistant
GRP roofs are tough and able to handle impact from debris, harsh weather, and foot traffic. Many people use GRP roofs on balconies, walkways, and terraces because it is durable enough to walk on.
5. Customisable Appearance
The final topcoat can be customised with a choice of colours, finishes, and textures. Whether you want a modern look or a subtle design that blends with your property, GRP roofing offers flexible options.
6. Fire Resistant and Safe
GRP roofing systems are manufactured to be fire-resistant, making them a safer choice for homes and commercial buildings.
Our GRP Roofing Process
At Capital Inspections, we follow a detailed, step-by-step installation process to ensure every GRP roof we install performs at the highest level. Our process includes:
1. Full Roof Assessment
We begin by inspecting the roof structure, checking the decking, drainage, and overall condition. This helps us understand exactly what is needed to achieve a strong and durable finish.
2. Preparing the Roof Deck
A GRP roof requires a smooth, solid base. We install high-quality OSB decking or prepare the existing deck if it is in good condition. Proper preparation ensures long-term durability.
3. Applying Resin and Fibreglass Layers
We apply the fibreglass matting, followed by advanced resin layers. This combination is rolled and bonded carefully to remove air bubbles and create a flawless, continuous surface.
4. Adding the Topcoat
Once the GRP base cures, a protective topcoat is applied. This topcoat adds UV resistance, waterproofing, colour, and weather protection. It also gives the roof its clean, professional appearance.
5. Final Inspection
We complete every installation with a full inspection, ensuring the roofing system meets our quality standards and provides complete protection.
