GRP Fibreglass Flat Roofing in Coombe
Coombe is known for large detached houses set in generous plots on private roads near Richmond Park. These homes often have complex roofs with multiple hips, valleys, dormers and lead work, which need experienced roofers to look after them.
Glass reinforced plastic, known as GRP or fibreglass, combines polyester resin with chopped glass fibres to create a strong, waterproof laminate. Originally popular in boat building for its strength and resistance to corrosion, it has become a leading choice for flat roofs.
A typical GRP roof we install has an 18mm OSB3 deck, a single-ply fibreglass laminate, GRP edge trims and a durable topcoat. The result is a lightweight, seamless roof that handles temperature extremes well and can last for over 20 years.
Most GRP roofs are finished in grey, but other topcoat colours are available if you want the roof to match your property. For a free GRP roofing quote in Coombe, call 07467 757 367.
Local GRP Fibreglass Roofs Specialists in Coombe
Alongside the main pitched roof, Coombe homes often include flat-roofed garages, porches, dormers and balconies. These smaller roofs are easy to overlook, but they can become a weak point once the original covering has aged or the edges have started to fail.
We fit GRP fibreglass roofs using a single-ply laminate over an 18mm OSB3 deck, with GRP edge trims and a protective topcoat. Grey is standard, but other colours can be chosen to suit the house. The finished roof is seamless, and with good installation it can last 20 years or more. For balconies and dormers on larger properties, the crisp edges and hard-wearing surface make GRP a practical choice. We also make sure the junctions with the main roof and walls are properly detailed. GRP roofs are available in Worcester Park too.
Our Staines head office is about 11 miles from Coombe, and we regularly work on homes and businesses across the area. Most like-for-like roof work does not need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

GRP Fibreglass Roofs FAQs for Coombe
What colour can a GRP roof be on a Coombe property?
GRP roofs are usually finished in grey, but other colours are available. On a Coombe home, the colour may be chosen to suit a balcony, dormer or garage roof. We will discuss the options during the quote so the finish suits the house.
How long does a GRP roof last?
A properly installed GRP roof can last for over 20 years and shows very little sign of wear in that time.
Can GRP be laid over my existing flat roof?
Usually we strip the old covering and check the deck. If the deck is damaged or not suitable, we replace it with new OSB3 boards before laying the GRP.
Is GRP better than felt for flat roofs in Coombe?
GRP is seamless, so there are no joins for water to get through, and it does not need the regular maintenance that older felt roofs do. It is a popular upgrade when a felt roof fails.
What colours are available?
Most GRP roofs are finished with a grey topcoat, but other colours are available to suit your property.
How much does a GRP roof cost?
It depends on the size of the roof, the condition of the deck and access. We will look at the roof and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
