GRP Fibreglass Flat Roofing in West Byfleet
West Byfleet developed around its railway station in the early 1900s, with Edwardian and interwar detached houses on leafy roads. Clay tile roofs, hips and valleys, and fascias and soffits are the usual focus of our work here.
GRP, or glass reinforced plastic, is a polyester resin reinforced with chopped glass fibres to form a tough, 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. 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 West Byfleet, call 07467 757 367.
Where We Fit GRP Roofs in West Byfleet
Balconies and Roof Terraces
With the right deck and topcoat, GRP can create a hard-wearing waterproof surface for balconies and terraces.
Dormer Roofs
GRP is lightweight and easy to form around upstands, making it well suited to dormer roofs on loft conversions.
Porches and Bay Roofs
Small flat roofs over porches and bay windows can be finished in GRP with matching edge trims.
Garages and Outbuildings
Replace tired felt on garages, sheds and outbuildings with a GRP roof that needs very little maintenance.
Flat Roof Replacement
We strip old felt or failed coverings, renew the deck where needed and lay a new GRP roof.
Extension Roofs
Kitchen, rear and side extensions with flat roofs are ideal for GRP, giving a neat, seamless finish.
GRP Fibreglass Roofs for Homes and Businesses in West Byfleet
Detached houses in West Byfleet often have garages, rear extensions or dormers with flat roofs, and many of these were originally covered in felt that has since reached the end of its life. GRP fibreglass is a durable replacement: a single-ply laminate laid over an 18mm OSB3 deck, forming one seamless surface.
We finish the roof with GRP edge trims and a topcoat, usually grey, with other colours available. A fibreglass roof installed well can last 20 years or more, so it is a sensible long-term choice for porches and balconies too. We will check the existing deck before starting so the new roof is laid on a sound base. We fit GRP roofs in Weybridge and Addlestone as well.
At around 6 miles from our Staines office, West Byfleet sits within our core area across Surrey and Middlesex. Like-for-like roof work does not usually need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with Woking Borough Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Common Questions About GRP Fibreglass Roofs in West Byfleet
Is fibreglass a good replacement for an old felt garage roof in West Byfleet?
It usually is. GRP fibreglass forms a seamless, hard-wearing surface and can last 20 years or more. We strip the old felt, check or renew the deck with 18mm OSB3 and lay the new roof with proper edge trims.
What colours are available?
Most GRP roofs are finished with a grey topcoat, but other colours are available to suit your property.
Is GRP better than felt for flat roofs in West Byfleet?
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.
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.
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.
