Roofer in Burgess Hill – GRP Fibreglass Roofing
If you’re replacing a flat roof in Burgess Hill, GRP fibreglass deserves a close look. It has become the go-to covering for flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and balconies — and for good reason.
What is GRP roofing?
GRP stands for glass-reinforced plastic: layers of fibreglass matting bonded with resin, laid wet onto the roof deck and finished with a weatherproof topcoat. Because it’s applied as a liquid, it cures into one continuous membrane with no joints, seams or welds anywhere on the roof. Seams are where traditional felt roofs fail — GRP simply doesn’t have any.
Why choose fibreglass over felt?
- Seamless — no joints to open up over time
- Tough — hard-wearing enough to be walked on, ideal for balconies and roofs used for access
- Long-lasting — a properly laid GRP roof significantly outlasts traditional felt
- Smart finish — a clean, uniform surface in a choice of colours, with neat pre-formed edge trims
- Low maintenance — no chippings to rake, no regular resealing

Burgess Hill roofing questions
What is GRP fibreglass roofing?
Layers of fibreglass matting bonded with resin, laid wet and cured into one seamless membrane — no joints or welds to fail. It’s tough enough to walk on and outlasts traditional felt.
Can GRP go over my existing felt roof?
No — GRP needs a dry, sound, properly boarded deck, so the old covering comes off first. It’s why preparation is most of the job, and why our quotes spell out exactly what’s included.
Is fibreglass worth it for a garage roof?
Usually yes — re-covering a standard garage in GRP is cheaper than most expect and removes the problem for decades rather than years.
