GRP Fibreglass Flat Roofs In Saffron Walden

On the post-war and newer homes around Saffron Walden, flat-roofed extensions and garages are common, and some owners want to use them as balconies. GRP fibreglass forms a rigid, seamless layer that handles foot traffic, so it suits roofs you step onto. It also copes well with the awkward shapes found where extensions meet older houses.

Options for your roof

We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Local Knowledge

Where we lay GRP in Saffron Walden

Our fibreglass roofs here range from garage and extension roofs on the edges of town to rear additions on older properties in the centre. A new deck of solid boards goes down first. Resin is then applied, glass-fibre matting laid into it while wet, and the layers rolled out to bond and remove air. As it cures, it hardens into one waterproof sheet. Preformed edge trims are fitted, and a coloured topcoat seals and finishes the surface. GRP can be shaped around upstands, outlets and corners, which helps where new roofs meet irregular old walls.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01279 294082 or book online.

Planning and appearance

A new balcony or a change to a roof visible from the street may need planning permission in the conservation area, and listed buildings need consent. We check before quoting. The topcoat comes in several colours, so the roof can sit discreetly. Your new flat roof comes with our 10-year guarantee.
