A. A properly installed fibreglass roof typically lasts 25–30 years or more with very little maintenance. Unlike felt or bitumen systems, there are no seams to split, sag or leak. With the right preparation, correct materials, and expert installation, fibreglass remains fully waterproof for decades. Most failures people see are due to poor workmanship — which is why choosing an experienced installer matters. All Fibre-Form roofs are installed correctly from day one and guaranteed for long-term peace of mind.
A. Costs depend on the size of the roof, access, preparation and whether any repairs are required to the decking beneath. Every project is different, so the most accurate way to get a price is to get in touch for a free, individual quote. We survey each roof, explain what needs doing and provide a fixed price with no hidden surprises. While fibreglass can cost slightly more upfront than felt, it saves money long term by reducing repairs and early replacements. We keep our pricing competitive across Kent and always explain your options clearly so you can make the best decision for your home.
A. Yes — many fibreglass roofs can be repaired, depending on age and condition. We offer honest advice: if a repair makes sense financially, we’ll recommend it. If the roof is failing over a large area or the wrong system was used originally, replacement might be the better option. We always inspect the roof first, explain what we find in plain English, and provide clear options so you can choose the solution that suits your budget and long-term plans.
A. Most domestic roofs are completed within 1–3 days, depending on size, access and weather conditions. Larger roofs or roofs requiring decking replacement may take slightly longer. We’ll always give a realistic schedule upfront. Fibreglass needs dry conditions to cure properly, so we keep you updated with weather forecasts and installation dates. Our team works efficiently and safely, minimising disruption while ensuring everything is completed to the highest standard.
A. If we uncover damaged or rotten timber once your old roof covering is removed, we will explain the issue and discuss your options before continuing. We can replace damaged boards, repair structure and ensure your roof deck is safe and strong — essential for a long-lasting fibreglass system. Any additional work is agreed with you beforehand, with no pressure or hidden costs. Our focus is doing the job properly, not cutting corners.
A. Very little. Unlike felt roofs, fibreglass doesn't crack, blister or split over time. An annual visual check is usually enough — just clear leaves and debris from gutters and check that outlets are running freely. If the topcoat gets scratched or damaged in the future, repairs are quick and inexpensive. Because the system is fully bonded and seamless, homeowners enjoy decades of reliable protection with virtually no hassle.
A. Yes — fibreglass (GRP) is one of the best materials for balconies, walkways, and terraces. At Fibre-Form, we install specialised reinforced systems designed to handle regular foot traffic, heavy wear, and long-term exposure to the weather. These systems are extremely durable, fully waterproof, and built to last decades without cracking or lifting.
We also offer a wide range of colours, textures, and decorative finishes, so your balcony or terrace can look as good as it performs. Anti-slip coatings are available too, making the surface safe in all conditions. Whether you want a clean modern look or a bold decorative finish, fibreglass provides a seamless, stylish, and low-maintenance solution perfect for outdoor living spaces.
A. Yes — fibreglass is widely considered the most reliable long-term solution for flat roofs. Felt systems rely on joins that can crack and split over time, which leads to leaks. Fibreglass is completely seamless, resistant to UV, durable in all seasons and easily repaired if ever needed. The lifespan is also significantly longer, reducing long-term cost. For garages, extensions, dormers and commercial roofs, fibreglass is the strongest and most future-proof choice.
A. A professionally installed fibreglass roof should not leak because the system is completely seamless. Leaks usually only occur where corners have been rushed, trims fitted badly or cheap resins used — typically by inexperienced installers. At Fibre-Form, we always use premium materials and lay the system correctly from the OSB deck to the topcoat. We also laminate into skylights, edges and tricky details properly to remove weak points. Done right, fibreglass stays watertight for decades.
A. Yes — all our full fibreglass roof installations come with a written workmanship guarantee for peace of mind. We only use proven, certified systems trusted across the industry. Repairs to existing fibreglass may not always be guaranteed if we didn’t install the underlying roof, but we’ll always explain this before work starts. Our priority is transparency and doing things the right way so you never have unwelcome surprises later on.
A. Fibreglass can be installed in colder months, but it must be dry and above certain temperatures for the resins to cure correctly. We monitor the weather carefully, schedule installation for suitable windows, and never rush or cut corners. If conditions change unexpectedly, we have temporary waterproofing solutions to keep you protected. Our goal is always to deliver a roof that performs perfectly for decades — not just survive a rainy week.
A. Absolutely — fibreglass excels in complex details where other systems fail. We laminate directly into skylight kerbs, parapet walls, raised edges, outlets and awkward corners to create a truly seamless finish. It’s one of the biggest advantages of GRP compared with felt or EPDM rubber, which struggle with joins. Whether your roof is simple or full of penetrations and features, fibreglass provides complete waterproof protection with no weak points.
A. Yes — we provide fibreglass flat roofing installations and repairs across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Folkestone, Maidstone, Dover, Thanet, Medway, Sittingbourne, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and everywhere in between. We work on homes, extensions, garages, commercial buildings and new builds. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just give us a call — we’re always happy to help and can often quote from photos before visiting your property.
A. No — while Fibre-Form is based in Kent and carries out most of our day-to-day work across the county, we also cover the whole of the UK for larger or specialist fibreglass projects. This includes commercial roofing, complex GRP installations, balconies, walkways, and bespoke systems that require experienced fibreglass specialists.
For anything outside of Kent, just get in touch with our team and we’ll be happy to discuss your project and arrange a site visit if required.
