From our workshops in Stretford Manchester the team at Flat Roofs Manchester specialise in construction of GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) also known as Fibreglass roofs. We provide a professional and reliable flat roof construction and repair service throughout Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire and West Yorkshire.
I am writing to thank Matthew and the team for a superb job that they did on my proch roof. The workmanship was of the highest standard and done in budget and on time. I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone who needs a new roof.
Our GRP roofs provide a cost effective permanent solution to flat roof problems for new and old buildings and all of our roofs come with a 25 year guarantee
Our team at Stretford have worked on all aspects of fibreglass and GRP construction since 1977 and our work is of such a high quality that we have built moulds and created GRP components for Ford, Lotus Cars and Arrows F1 before the sports car industry moved to Carbon Fibre as their standard composite material. Production at Stretford now includes Roof and Roof line Components, Door Canopies, Carports, and GRP Garden Buildings.
The Flat Roofs Manchester installation team have installed GRP roofs for over 25 years. We know how to install a trouble free roof. In order to ensure years of trouble free service on every job all existing roof base layers are removed and replaced with BBA Approved Sterling Board. This provides a perfect base on to which the layers of the new roof are bonded giving a seam free, leak free roof every time with a colour finish to blend in with your property
All new-build and replacement GRP roofs from Flat Roofs Manchester fully comply with Part L Building Regulations. New build flat roofs can be constructed with a heat loss of only 0.20W/m2 and refurbished roofs with a heat loss of 0.20 W/m2.
Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) is often better known as the trade name "Fibreglass". Since its discovery at the end of the second world war it GRP has been used in many application which need a lightweight material which is very strong, waterproof and highly resistant to corrosion and sun and rain. GRP is made from a polyester resin which is reinforced by short glass fibres in the form of a mat. The Polyester Resin together with the Chopped Strand Mat form a laminate. GRP also has the advantage of a beautiful finished appearance.
Boats, Storage tanks, fishing rods, car and truck bodies are just a few of the products made from GRP fibreglass. Before the introduction of carbon fibre technology Matt Watson of Flat Roofs Manchester build the bodywork of the Footprints Formula 1 racing car and many other sports and racing car parts.
As a second generation family owned and run business we have been installing GRP /Fibreglass roofs for over 30 years. Out original roofs are still in great order, looking good with only a quick clean from time to time and removing the misery of leaking felt covered roofs. We always build our GRP Fibreglass roofs on new Oriented strand board (OSB)(Sterling Board), and we can then give a 20 year guarantee with confidence. Other areas we cover apart from Manchester include: London, Barnsley and Chesterfield.
