When it comes to flat roofing, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), commonly known as fibreglass roofing, has become one of the most popular and reliable solutions. At Yorkshire Roofing, we specialise in installing GRP fibreglass roofs, offering exceptional strength, durability, and a sleek, seamless finish that’s perfect for residential and commercial properties alike.
What is GRP Fibreglass Roofing?
GRP fibreglass is a composite material made from polyester resin reinforced with glass fibres. The result is a lightweight yet incredibly strong laminate that’s ideal for roofing. Its modern formulation has been refined over decades, making it one of the most dependable flat roofing systems available today.
Key benefits of GRP fibreglass roofing include:
- Exceptional durability and weather resistance.
- A seamless finish, reducing the risk of leaks.
- Lightweight construction, making it suitable for a variety of structures.
- Low maintenance and easy-to-repair properties.
- A wide range of colours to suit any property style.
Why Choose GRP Fibreglass Roofing?
1. Long-Lasting Durability
GRP fibreglass roofs are renowned for their strength and ability to withstand even the harshest weather conditions. Properly installed and maintained, they can last over 25 years without significant issues.
2. Seamless and Leak-Proof
Unlike traditional roofing systems, GRP roofs are applied as a liquid, creating a single, seamless surface. This eliminates joints or seams that can often become weak points for water ingress.
3. Lightweight and Versatile
The lightweight nature of fibreglass makes it suitable for a variety of roof structures, including green roofs and more complex shapes. It’s an excellent choice when other materials might be too heavy for your building.
4. Aesthetic Flexibility
GRP fibreglass is available in a range of colours, allowing you to choose a finish that complements your property. Whether you want something understated or a bold statement, fibreglass can deliver.
5. Easy Repairs and Maintenance
Fibreglass roofing is tough, but if damage does occur, repairs are simple and cost-effective. Routine maintenance is minimal, meaning you can enjoy peace of mind for years to come.

The GRP Fibreglass Roofing Process
Our fibreglass roofing installation process is meticulous to ensure the highest quality results:
1. Preparation
- The existing roof surface is cleaned and prepped for fibreglass application.
- We ensure the area is dry and the temperature is suitable for proper curing, as GRP roofing requires specific weather conditions.
2. Applying Edge Trims
- GRP edge trims are fixed in place to provide a clean, defined finish.
- The trims are securely attached to ensure a strong bond with the roof decking.
3. Lamination
- A layer of fibreglass mat is laid down and saturated with resin, creating a tough, weather-resistant surface.
- The seamless application ensures a smooth and consistent finish, with all corners and joints reinforced for maximum durability.
4. Topcoating
- Once the laminate cures, a topcoat is applied to protect the surface from UV rays and environmental wear.
- The topcoat also adds a final aesthetic touch, available in a variety of colours to suit your preferences.
