🏠What Is GRP Roofing? — A Plain English Guide for Burmantofts Homeowners
GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic the same material used in boats, aircraft and motorsport for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. For a Fibreglass Roof Installation, fibreglass matting is laid onto the deck and saturated with polyester resin. As it cures, it forms one rigid, monolithic membrane with no joints or seams anywhere on the roof. A UV-resistant coloured topcoat is then applied across the whole surface. Cold-applied system no naked flame, no hot works required on your Burmantofts property.

⭐ New GRP Flat Roof Burmantofts — Our Installation Process
- Free Survey & Quote — we visit your Burmantofts property, assess the existing flat roof and provide a fully itemised, no-obligation written quote.
- Old Roof Removed — existing felt, chippings and any degraded decking stripped back and disposed of responsibly.
- OSB3 Deck Fitted — tongue-and-groove OSB3 decking boards installed to create a flat, even substrate for the GRP system.
- GRP Lamination — we saturate fibreglass matting with polyester resin and lay it across the deck. Once cured, it forms a single rigid membrane with no joints anywhere.
- Trims, Upstands & Edging — every perimeter and junction gets GRP angle trims, drip edges and roof upstands laminated in place. Nothing left open to let water in.
- Topcoat Applied — we roll a UV-resistant coloured topcoat across the whole surface. This protects the GRP system long-term and gives the roof its finished appearance.
- Final Inspection & Handover — before we leave, the whole job gets a thorough quality check. Site left clean and tidy, written guarantee issued on the completed installation.
Fibreglass Roof Replacement in Burmantofts When It's Time to Upgrade

Our Fibreglass Roof Replacement Burmantofts service sets the roof up for 25 to 30-plus years one installation, one guarantee, decades of watertight protection. The whole-life cost is significantly lower than repeated felt work. Where the structural substrate is sound, GRP can often go over existing OSB decking, cutting cost and time. If structural issues are deeper, we can advise on a full roof replacement in Burmantofts instead.

clients testimonials
On one of the jobs there was some unforeseen work that needed to be done before Danny could continue, this was highlighted straight away by himself and not just brushed over so that he could continue with his high standard of work.
There has never been an issue with any of Danny’s work, extremely reliable, clean and polite.
Communication was clear throughout the entire project and they went above and beyond to ensure that our roof was prepared for all conditions whilst working to the constraints and considerations of being in a conversation area.
They worked seamlessly with our other onsite contractors to coordinate timings and strategies whilst being considerate of our area and neighbours throughout the project too. Highly recommend DDK!
Thanks Danny for a job well done, the solar Velux is fantastic and has made a real improvement to our home.
The job was completed as planned. The team were brilliant, all very friendly and hard working, despite the very hot weather! The clean up after completion was every bit as good as the job itself. We would definitely recommend DDK and will be using them again in the future.
