Need Grp Fibreglass Roofing in Penryn?
Grp Fibreglass Roofing in Penryn Operating Across Cornwall
Taming the Penryn mizzle with GRP roofing
Have you ever sat in your kitchen in Penryn, listening to that relentless Cornish 'mizzle' and wondered if your flat roof is actually holding up? Living so close to the Penryn River and the Carrick Roads means our homes take a proper beating from damp, salty air and those sudden Atlantic gusts. If you've got an old felt roof on your garage or extension, you'll know the score: they often crack, bubble, and eventually start letting the weather in. That is exactly where GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) roofing comes into its own. It is essentially the same technology used to build high-end boat hulls, making it the perfect match for our maritime climate here in Cornwall.
Why Choose Us?
Ditch the leaks with a seamless membrane
Why do traditional flat roofs fail so often? Most of the time, it's the joins. Water finds its way into the seams of felt or bitumen and slowly rots the timber underneath. With a GRP fibreglass roof installed by our team, those weak points simply don't exist. We lay down a completely seamless membrane that acts like a solid, waterproof envelope over your home. Because it is cold-applied, there is no need for dangerous torches or naked flames on your property. Once the resin sets, you're left with a 'fit and forget' solution that won't peel or crack, no matter how many storms roll in across the Penryn hills.

Who We Are
Crafting a roof that actually lasts decades
We don't just slap some resin over your old roof and hope for the best. A proper GRP installation starts with a solid foundation. We typically strip your old roof back and install fresh OSB3 decking—a high-grade, moisture-resistant timber board. Then, we apply the fibreglass matting and resin, followed by professional drip trims and wall fillets to make sure every drop of rain is channelled exactly where it should go. Finally, we apply a UV-resistant topcoat, usually in a sleek battleship grey, though we can chat about other colours to suit your Penryn cottage or modern extension. It is a meticulous process, but it is the only way to ensure your roof stays weather-tight for twenty-five years or more.

Tough enough for balconies and roof terraces
Are you planning to turn that flat roof into a balcony to make the most of the views over the Falmouth estuary? One of the biggest perks of GRP roofing is its incredible impact resistance. Unlike rubber or felt, you can actually walk on a fibreglass roof without worrying about puncturing it. If you're using the space as a walkway or terrace, we can even add a non-slip grit finish to the topcoat for extra safety. It's incredibly versatile—whether it is a small bay window, a large wrap-around extension, or a commercial unit in the Penryn industrial estates, GRP provides a level of durability that other materials just can't match.
