In this guide, we will walk you through the process of fibreglassing a roof, including the materials needed, costs, and benefits.

Fibreglass roofing, also known as GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) roofing, is a type of roofing material that consists of a combination of glass fibres and polyester resin. This material is ideal for flat roofs, as it provides a waterproof and durable surface that can withstand the elements.

To fibreglass a roof, you will need the following materials:

• Fibreglass matting
• Polyester resin
• Catalyst
• Topcoat
• Rooflights (if required)
• Sheets of OSB or plywood (for the roof deck)

The process of fibreglassing a roof involves several steps:

1. Preparation: The roof deck must be prepared by ensuring it is clean, dry, and free of any damage or debris.
2. Application of the fibreglass matting: The fibreglass matting is applied to the roof deck, overlapping the edges to ensure a watertight seal.
3. Application of the polyester resin: The polyester resin is applied to the fibreglass matting, using a roller or brush to ensure an even coat.
4. Addition of the catalyst: The catalyst is added to the polyester resin to speed up the curing process.
5. Application of the topcoat: The topcoat is applied to the fibreglass surface, providing a waterproof and UV-resistant finish.
6. Installation of rooflights: If required, rooflights can be installed to provide natural light and ventilation.

The cost of fibreglassing a roof can vary depending on the size of the roof, the materials needed, and the complexity of the job. On average, the cost of a fibreglass roof can range from £60 to £120 per square metre.
