Fibreglass roofs, or GRP roofs, are a leading choice for flat roof installations in the UK. When professionally installed, they offer superior performance and durability, helping reduce property maintenance requirements for homeowners and businesses. At J.A.B Roofing, we provide GRP flat roof installation services for all residential and commercial buildings in York and all surrounding areas within 15 miles of Selby.
We have an excellent track record in the local area, and we are proud to be a recommended roofing company for a vast range of roofing services. Here, we take a closer look at fibreglass flat roof installations, but you can contact us for all types of pitched and flat roofing.
GRP stands for glass-reinforced plastic, also called fibreglass. This type of roofing consists of several layers: polyester resin, chopped strand matting, more resin and a topcoat. These layers work together to form a truly weathertight roof.
Fibreglass roofs offer the following benefits:
These factors make fibreglass one of the most popular options for new flat roof installations on both domestic and commercial properties.
One of the main benefits of GRP flat roofs is that they do not have any seams. The material moulds to any roof shape, no matter how complex, meaning we do not need to cut out separate bits of material to fit over all areas of the roof. In addition, the topcoat covers the whole surface, including trims and joints. It also creates a neat, attractive finish, reducing installation times and resulting in a fully watertight roof.
Our roofing company provides a full installation service for GRP roofs in York, Selby and the surrounding areas. For the installation to be successful, it is vital to install fibreglass roofs in the right weather conditions. This is because the resin must cure properly for the roof to perform as required. Ideal conditions are dry and between 7 °C and 30°C.
At J.A.B Roofing, we will only perform GRP roof installations if the conditions are suitable; otherwise, we cannot guarantee the quality of our work or the weathertightness of the roof.

Fibreglass roofs require a specialist installation process that should only be completed by experienced professionals, such as the qualified roofs at J.A.B Roofing.
