The work

Fibreglass Roofs for Richmond homes

Richmond is a short run for us, so a look at a fibreglass roofs job here is a visit rather than a day of travel priced into the quote. We work across TW9 and out into Kew, Twickenham, Petersham, Ham, Barnes.

A GRP roof is glass matting laid onto a prepared deck and saturated with resin, then finished with a pigmented topcoat. Because it cures as one shell there are no laps and no joints, and it bonds around upstands, kerbs and outlets rather than being dressed over them.

That makes it the covering to choose where a roof is walked on, where there are lots of penetrations, or where a balcony has to be watertight over a habitable room. It needs a dry, sound, correctly boarded deck to go onto, so preparation is most of the job.

What's included

What fibreglass roofs covers

  • Deck preparation

    New roofing-grade board where needed, screwed down flat and dry.

  • Trims and kerbs

    GRP edge trims bonded in first, so the laminate runs into them.

  • Laminate

    Glass matting and resin laid to the specified weight and fully consolidated.

  • Topcoat

    Pigmented topcoat in your chosen colour, with an anti-slip finish on trafficked areas.

  • Balcony detailing

    Upstands, thresholds and drainage outlets formed into the laminate.

The price

Fibreglass Roofs costs

What fibreglass roofs costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

  • Area, and how much new decking is required.
  • Matting weight, and whether the surface will be walked on.
  • Number of upstands, thresholds and outlets.
  • The weather window, since GRP cannot be laid wet.

Questions

Fibreglass Roofs in Richmond: common questions

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

020 3128 7579info@tjmhomeimprovements.co.uk

Is fibreglass good for a balcony?

It is one of the better choices, because it cures seamless and can be finished anti-slip. Thresholds and upstands are the critical details over a habitable room, and those are formed into the laminate rather than sealed afterwards.

Can GRP be laid over my old felt?

No. It needs to bond to a sound, dry, screwed-down board, so the old covering comes off first. Anyone offering to lay it straight over felt is storing up a delamination.

Can it be repaired if something damages it?

Yes. A damaged area is ground back and re-laminated, then the topcoat blended, so a repair does not mean re-covering the roof.

How long does GRP take to cure?

The laminate goes off within hours and the topcoat the same day in reasonable conditions, so a small roof is usually two days. It cannot be laid in rain or near freezing, which is the main scheduling constraint.

Does fibreglass crack?

Laid on a rigid, properly fixed deck, no. Cracking comes from deck movement, which is why the boarding is screwed rather than nailed and why we replace any board that flexes underfoot.
