Is it possible to repair an old, damaged flat roof? The answer to this is yes but it requires an expert opinion and good technical knowledge. At Proplas, we will always give you sound advice and a realistic price for all options available. Often, a roof can be given a new lease of life by fixing cracks and/ or resurfacing, giving you many, many more years of waterproofing. If the roof has gone beyond repair, we will let you know. It is often possible to re-board over the entire existing roof and fibreglass over this, creating a new roof. This is usually more ecomonical than stripping off the old roof first. Of course, we are happy to remove the old...

On benefit of fibreglass is its strong enough to be walked upon and therefore makes an incredibly durable surface for roof terraces. Additionally, at Proplas we can add a special grit to make it non-slip. Alternatively, you can fit a floating deck over the fibreglass safe in the knowledge that there is a completely waterproof membrane underneath. It’s important not to pierce the fibreglass with nails or screws but adhesive can be used if necessary. We can fully advise you on all aspects of your roof terrace. It’s worth considering that once your roof has been fibreglassed it can be converted into a roof terrace sometime in the future.

Fibreglass is the perfect solution when you require a roof light or window in your flat roof. This because fibreglass is a very versatile material which can be moulded around objects still maintaining a watertight seal.

Here are some recent examples completed by Proplas Fibreglass Roofing.

Many people ask why they should choose fibreglass over felt, rubber or other membrane roofing for their flat roof. The two main reasons are the longevity of the product and the watertight finish. At Proplas we offer a 25 year transferable guarantee though it will probably last a lot longer as fibreglass is very tough and won’t deteriorate at the rate of felt or rubber. As for waterproofing, fibreglass is the same product used to make boats and therefore once the strong fibreglass layer is laid, a durable topcoat is rolled over the top creating a fully sealed surface. Installed correctly, water cannot penetrate through any seams. Fibreglass can also be moulded to any area, around roof lights and other...
