GRP Fibreglass Flat Roofing in Hampton Hill
Hampton Hill grew up along its Victorian high street beside Bushy Park, and its side streets are lined with terraced and semi-detached period homes. Slipped slates, cracked chimney flaunching and worn lead flashing are common issues on houses of this age.
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.
Our GRP roofs are typically built from a single-ply GRP laminate over an 18mm OSB3 deck, finished with GRP edge trims and a protective topcoat. Finished this way, the roof is lightweight and seamless, copes well with hot and cold weather, and can last more than 20 years.
Grey is the most popular topcoat, though we can offer other colours to keep the roof in keeping with your building. For a free GRP roofing quote in Hampton Hill, call 07467 757 367.
Where We Fit GRP Roofs in Hampton Hill
Porches and Bay Roofs
Small flat roofs over porches and bay windows can be finished in GRP with matching edge trims.
Dormer Roofs
GRP is lightweight and easy to form around upstands, making it well suited to dormer roofs on loft conversions.
Extension Roofs
Kitchen, rear and side extensions with flat roofs are ideal for GRP, giving a neat, seamless finish.
Flat Roof Replacement
We strip old felt or failed coverings, renew the deck where needed and lay a new GRP roof.
Garages and Outbuildings
Replace tired felt on garages, sheds and outbuildings with a GRP roof that needs very little maintenance.
Balconies and Roof Terraces
With the right deck and topcoat, GRP can create a hard-wearing waterproof surface for balconies and terraces.
Local GRP Fibreglass Roofs Specialists in Hampton Hill
Period houses in Hampton Hill were never designed with today’s extensions in mind, and the flat roofs added behind them vary greatly in quality. When one needs replacing, GRP fibreglass gives a clean, seamless finish. We lay a single-ply GRP laminate on an 18mm OSB3 deck, then finish with GRP edge trims and a topcoat.
Grey is the usual colour and tends to look unobtrusive behind Victorian brickwork, though other colours can be supplied. Fibreglass is also a good fit for dormers, garages, balconies and porches, and a properly installed roof can last 20 years or more. Where the extension meets the main house, we take care with the junction, as that is where many older flat roofs let water in. GRP roofing is also available in Fulwell and Strawberry Hill.
Our Staines head office is about 7 miles from Hampton Hill, 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 London Borough of Richmond upon Thames before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

GRP Fibreglass Roofs FAQs for Hampton Hill
How long will a GRP extension roof last in Hampton Hill?
A properly installed GRP fibreglass roof can last more than 20 years. Longevity depends on a sound OSB3 deck, careful detailing at edges and walls, and keeping outlets clear. We follow the same approach on every extension, dormer or porch roof we fit.
Is GRP better than felt for flat roofs in Hampton Hill?
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 is a GRP fibreglass roof?
GRP stands for glass reinforced plastic. Resin and glass fibre matting are laid over a timber deck to form a single seamless, waterproof layer, finished with edge trims and a topcoat.
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.
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.
What colours are available?
Most GRP roofs are finished with a grey topcoat, but other colours are available to suit your property.
