Modern Flat Roofing Solutions
GRP Fibreglass Roofing – Seamless Protection
GRP fibreglass is a popular flat roofing material, particularly for domestic extensions, garages and smaller roof areas. The system uses glass fibre reinforcement combined with resin to create a strong, continuous waterproof covering. Once correctly installed and cured, it provides a durable finish designed to withstand normal weather exposure.
Benefits of GRP Fibreglass Roofing
Seamless Waterproof Finis
A continuous GRP roof covering reduces the number of membrane joints where water penetration could otherwise occur.
Durable Roofing Surface
Correctly installed GRP roofing provides a strong, weather-resistant finish suitable for many flat roofing applications.
Low Maintenance
GRP roofing generally requires limited routine maintenance, although regular checks and keeping outlets clear remain important.
Neat, Modern Appearance
GRP offers a clean, consistent finish that can complement contemporary extensions and other flat-roofed structures.
Versatile Applications
Suitable for many garages, extensions, porches, dormers and other appropriately designed flat roofs.
Long-Term Performance
A properly specified and installed GRP roofing system can provide many years of effective protection.
Proven Waterproofing Solutions
Torch-on Felt Roofing – Practical & Dependable
Benefits of GRP Fibreglass Roofing
Reliable Waterproofing
Multi-layer felt roofing systems can provide effective protection against rainwater penetration.
Cost-Effective Solution
Torch-on felt can offer a practical balance between installation cost, performance and service life.
Flexible Roofing Material
Reinforced bituminous membranes can accommodate suitable roof shapes, junctions and detailing requirements.
Suitable for Various Roofs
Torch-on felt is commonly used on extensions, garages, outbuildings and other flat-roofed structures.
Established Roofing System
Felt roofing has a long history of use, with modern reinforced membranes offering improved durability and performance.
Repair Options
Depending on the roof's condition, localised damage may sometimes be repaired without replacing the complete covering.
Reliable Weather Protection
A correctly designed and installed roof helps protect your property against rain, wind and changing weather conditions.
Choosing the Right System
Which Flat Roofing System Is Right for You?
Both GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt can provide effective waterproofing when correctly specified and installed. However, each system has different characteristics, making one potentially more suitable than the other depending on your roof.
GRP Fibreglass Roofing
- Creates a continuous, seamless waterproof covering.
- Offers a neat, modern-looking finish.
- Commonly used on domestic extensions and garages.
- Requires careful preparation and suitable installation conditions.
- Can provide long-term performance with appropriate maintenance.
Torch-on Felt Roofing
- Uses reinforced bituminous waterproof membranes.
- Offers an established and versatile roofing solution.
- Suitable for a range of domestic and commercial applications.
- Can be a cost-effective option for certain roofing projects.
- May allow localised repairs depending on the condition of the roof.
The right choice depends on several factors, including roof size, design, substrate condition, drainage, insulation requirements and budget.
Our experienced team can assess your roof and explain which system may be more suitable for your property.
Spot the Warning Signs
Is Your Flat Roof Showing Signs of Damage?
Flat roofing systems are exposed to changing temperatures, heavy rainfall, standing water and general weathering. Over time, defects can develop that affect waterproofing performance. Recognising the warning signs early can help reduce the risk of more extensive water damage. Common signs that your flat roof may need repairing include:
- Water stains or damp patches on ceilings
- Leaks during or after heavy rainfall
- Cracks, splits or punctures in the roof covering
- Blistering or lifting felt membranes
- Damaged joints, edges or flashing
- Persistent standing water on the roof
- Deteriorating roof outlets or drainage details
- Soft or visibly damaged areas of roof decking
- Recurring leaks despite previous repairs
Some signs, such as standing water, require assessment rather than automatically indicating failure. However, persistent ponding can increase the risk of problems if drainage is inadequate. At SCJ Roofing Solutions, we assess the visible condition of your flat roof and recommend appropriate repairs or replacement work.
Making the Right Decision
Repair Your Flat Roof or Replace It?
Not every leaking or damaged flat roof needs a complete replacement. In some cases, localised defects can be repaired to restore the roof’s weather protection. However, widespread deterioration, saturated insulation, damaged decking or repeated waterproofing failures may make replacement more appropriate.
When Repairs May Be Suitable
- Damage is limited to a small area.
- Most of the waterproofing system remains sound.
- A localised joint, outlet or flashing requires attention.
- The underlying roof structure is in reasonable condition.
- A suitable repair can restore effective waterproofing.
When Replacement May Be Necessary
- The waterproof covering has deteriorated extensively.
- Leaks continue despite previous repairs.
- Water has damaged the underlying decking or insulation.
- The existing system is unsuitable or has significant installation defects.
- Extensive repairs would offer poor long-term value.
Our team can assess your flat roof’s condition and explain the available options, helping you make an informed decision about the most practical solution.

Flat Roofing Advice
Your Questions Answered
The most suitable material depends on the roof’s size, design, condition, intended use and budget. GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt are both established waterproofing systems. A professional assessment can help determine which option is more appropriate for your property.
GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic. It is a roofing system that combines glass fibre reinforcement with resin to create a continuous waterproof covering. It is commonly used on domestic extensions, garages and other suitable flat roofs.
Torch-on felt roofing uses reinforced bituminous membranes, with suitable layers bonded using controlled heat to create a waterproof roof covering. It is commonly used on flat roofs for domestic and commercial properties.
A correctly specified and installed GRP fibreglass roof can often provide 20–30 years or more of service, depending on the system, installation quality, exposure and maintenance. Actual performance varies, and any warranty depends on the products and installation terms.
Modern torch-on felt roofing systems can often provide around 15–30 years of service, depending on the membrane specification, installation quality, roof design and maintenance. The expected lifespan should be considered alongside the manufacturer’s guidance.
Yes. Some flat roof leaks can be resolved through localised repairs, particularly when the surrounding waterproofing system remains in good condition. Extensive deterioration or damage to underlying materials may require more substantial work.
Neither system is automatically better for every property. GRP provides a seamless finish and is often selected for domestic applications. Torch-on felt offers an established, versatile waterproofing option that may be more practical for certain roof designs and budgets. The choice should be based on the specific roofing requirements.
Standing water, sometimes called ponding, can occur because of inadequate falls, blocked outlets, structural movement or uneven roof surfaces. Some temporary water retention can occur, but persistent ponding should be assessed to determine whether corrective work is needed.
Yes. Flat roofing is commonly used on home extensions, garages and other structures. The roofing system must be appropriately designed, including suitable drainage, waterproofing and insulation where required.
Yes. Periodic checks can help identify damaged waterproofing, blocked drainage outlets, deteriorating flashing and other defects. Keeping gutters and outlets clear is particularly important for effective rainwater drainage.
The cost depends on the size and complexity of the roof, whether GRP or felt is selected, access requirements, existing roof condition and any insulation or decking work required. SCJ Roofing Solutions can assess your roofing requirements and provide a quotation based on the proposed work.
