GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP fibreglass provides durable, watertight flat roofing solutions with a lifespan of 25-30 years. This modern material resists foot traffic, offers colour options, and requires minimal maintenance. Ideal for terraces, porches, and commercial properties, it outlasts traditional felt by 3-4 times while maintaining energy efficiency through insulating foam compatibility.

Specialist leadwork installations ensure corrosion-resistant, long-lasting solutions for chimneys, valleys, and decorative features. Using recyclable materials, we provide 25-year guarantees on workmanship while maintaining historical accuracy for listed buildings. Our traditional techniques complement both heritage and modern properties across Kent and East Sussex.
