Small Residential Flat Roofing applications require a specific roofing installation system. That’s why we install Firestone RubberCover EPDM Roofing.

The system is based on high performing EPDM rubber membranes and a limited range of accessories offering a watertight and durable roofing solution.

Firestone RubberCover EPDM Roofing System is the ideal solution for small residential flat roofs and other extensions, verandas, dormers, porches, garages, carports, garden sheds, balconies, gutters and trailers. You name it.

Thanks to a unique combination of features and benefits, Firestone RubberCover is our first choice for smaller EPDM roofing projects.

A GRP flat roof, or fiberglass roof as it’s also known, is one of the most popular flat roofing solutions in the UK. GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Polyester, a composite material formed by strengthening plastic with fine fibres made of glass.

Fibreglass is much more durable than felt and stronger too. It has no seams, so it’s less likely to fail and let water in, and it’s relatively easy for a professional to repair if damaged. The benefits of fibreglass roofing for the consumer are its durability, longevity and high performance.

We offer free quotes as standard, which ensures you’re fully aware of all costs involved prior to any work going ahead. If you need your flat roof repaired or replaced, simply get in touch with our friendly team and organise an appointment.

There are plenty of reasons why GRP has gained popularity over the years and why it continues to grow in popularity even now:

Fiberglass Roofs are Low Maintenance

Once the roof has been installed, there’s practically nothing you need to do other than cleaning it occasionally. A well-installed GRP roof does not need to be re-sealed, patched up, and generally updated at all. This because of the nature of the surface – there are no gaps or weak points that need to be reinforced. This means that you can rest assured that your roof will not leak, even in the most torrential downpours.

A Seamless Surface Reduces Faults

The main issues with other flat roofs such as rubber and bitumen alternatives are the seams – these are key areas for bubbling or faults where water ingress occurs and slowly the roof deteriorates. There are absolutely no seams or inherent weak points in a well-installed GRP roof – just a single, smooth surface for rain to run off.

Long-Lasting Roofs Reduce Ongoing Costs

Finally, GRP roofs last at least 25 years when properly installed. There are boats from the 1950s built from GRP, which are still in use today – while most builder guarantees may not last quite that long, they often span at least a decade and your roof is likely to last far beyond that.

That longevity means that you reduce the amount that you pay for a strong, weatherproof roof over time. GRP roof installations may cost more than rubber or bitumen alternatives, but given the full lifespan of the roof you may end up saving money.
