Fibreglass Roofing in Dublin

Fibreglass, or GRP, is the tough, modern way to do a flat roof. Glass matting and resin are laid over a solid deck and cured into one continuous waterproof layer with no joints or seams to leak. It’s strong enough to walk on, lasts for decades, and suits extensions, garages, dormers, and balconies.

Why fibreglass

What a GRP roof gives you

Fibreglass has become one of the most popular flat-roof choices across Ireland today, and it is easy to see exactly why once you know how it works.

One continuous layer

Laid down wet and cured solid, a fibreglass roof has no joints or seams at all, so there are far fewer weak places for water to get in.

Strong and walk-on

Hard, durable surface you can walk on, making it ideal for balconies, terraces, and any roof needing regular access. Non-slip finishes available too.

Long-lasting, low upkeep

Shrugs off Irish rain and wind, handles standing water without complaint, and needs very little care once it is down on the roof.

What's included

Our fibreglass roofing service

We lay new GRP roofs and re-cover tired ones, and we get the bits underneath right first. A fibreglass roof is only as good as the deck it sits on. Each job can cover:

  • New GRP flat roofs and full re-covers, finished in a colour and surface texture to suit the building.
  • Extensions, garages, dormers, bay windows, porches, balconies, and walk-on terraces alike.
  • Sound deck first in OSB or plywood, replaced wherever the old boards have gone soft or rotten.
  • GRP edge trims, upstands, and neat detailing around pipes, outlets, and rooflights throughout.
  • Non-slip finishes for balconies and terraces, plus recoating to refresh an older GRP roof.
  • Honest advice on whether fibreglass or another flat-roof system suits your roof better.

The deck check is where cheap fibreglass jobs cut corners and where ours start, since GRP cracks if boards move. You get a written fixed price, with workmanship cover behind it.

How it works

WHERE IT GOES WRONG

Why Fibreglass Roofs Fail

Fibreglass almost never fails as a material. It fails in the laying, and the same few shortcuts cause nearly every failure.

Laid On A Bad Deck

GRP is rigid, so boards flexing or rotting underneath crack it from below. Deck checks come first, always.

Skimped On Matting

Thin matting and stretched resin leave weak spots you cannot see on day one. They show up two winters later.

Missing Edge Trims

Topcoat run straight to the edge without proper GRP trims lets water creep in behind and lift the laminate.

Rushed In The Wet

Resin cured in damp air goes cloudy and pinholed, and a rushed fibreglass roof is one that fails early..

What it costs

Fibreglass roof cost in Dublin

Fibreglass costs more than a basic felt roof, but it lasts far longer and needs almost no upkeep, so over the years it tends to be the better value on a roof you want to last. What moves the price is the area.

The state of the deck (replacing rotten boards is the common added cost), the complexity (upstands, trims, rooflights, and balconies all add work), and the access. See our fiberglass cost guide, then book a free survey for a fixed price in writing.

What affects the price

  • Roof area
  • Condition of the deck (any board replacement)
  • Upstands, trims, rooflights and outlets
  • Walk-on / non-slip finishes
  • Access and stripping the old covering

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers from an experienced, hands-on roofing professional.

It’s a flat-roof system made by laying glass matting and liquid resin over a solid deck, which cures into one hard, continuous waterproof layer finished with a colored topcoat. There are no joints to fail, and you can walk on it.

A well-laid GRP roof lasts for decades with very little maintenance, and a recoat down the line extends it further. We’ll give you a realistic lifespan for your roof at the survey.

Yes. It’s a hard, strong surface, which is why it suits balconies and terraces. We can add a non-slip finish where you’ll be walking on it regularly.

It needs a dry spell, because the resin has to cure properly. We plan the job around the weather and won’t rush it on, since a fibreglass roof rushed in the wet is a fibreglass roof that fails.
