How a Fibreglass Roof Is Built

A fibreglass roof starts with new boards fixed to the joists. We then lay glass matting soaked in resin, which sets hard into a single layer. A coloured topcoat goes on last to protect the surface. The edges are finished with trims that are bonded into the roof.

A Seamless Finish With Neat Edges

Because the resin and matting set as one piece, a fibreglass roof has no seams across its surface. The trims at the edges are bonded in, so water has nowhere to get under. The result is a smooth, tidy roof that looks good from upstairs windows.

Good for Roofs You Walk On

Fibreglass sets rock hard, so it copes with light foot traffic better than many other flat roof coverings. That makes it a sound choice for balconies and roofs that need regular access. It also works well on roofs with awkward shapes, as the matting can be worked around details.

About us

Fibreglass roofing needs care and the right conditions to get a good result. We only lay it on dry days, as the resin needs dry weather to cure properly. We prepare a solid deck, lay the matting evenly and finish every edge neatly, so the roof we leave you with in Ramsgate is smooth, strong and watertight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does fibreglass roofing last?

A well laid fibreglass roof can last for decades. The resin and glass matting set into a hard, seamless layer that stands up well to weather. How long it lasts depends on the quality of the deck, the fit and how the roof is used.

Can fibreglass roofing be laid in wet weather in Ramsgate?

No. Fibreglass needs dry conditions for the resin to cure properly. Rain or damp on the deck can stop it setting as it should. We plan fibreglass roofing in Ramsgate around the forecast and protect the roof if the weather changes.

Is fibreglass or EPDM better for a balcony?

Fibreglass is usually better for a balcony because it sets hard and handles foot traffic well. EPDM is a strong choice for roofs that are rarely walked on. We can look at your balcony and tell you which covering suits the way you plan to use it.
