These guys know what they doing. Well done

[@fallingdownalot]

Great work. Started looking at GRP repairs on KZbin as I’ve got a flat roof outlet thats leaking and seeping under the matt and soaking the ply underneath. Much more confident tackling it having watched your vids. Also didn’t know Selco did the materials so thats made things a bit easier. Keep up the good content.👌

That's a lot of work in one day, you guys! Thank You for sharing your excellent work.

[@brightonduder]

How did it go

[@jeremysmith7691]

@@brightonduder it was a bit of a nightmare to be honest, had a huge roof light in the middle of the roof and the weather wasn’t great when we came to do the top coat, we have done 3 more since and are getting better. It’s a good system, so much better than torch on, less danger involved! Cheers for asking! Hope you guys are flat out with work Jer

[@Stratoszero]

Smart as a carrot that job, great work and very informative. I’m new to grp roofs and am considering one on my new property after years of suffering felt roofs on my old one. Got a lantern roofed garden room planned (need to start saving!), and despite all advice, still not sold on EDPM after one we installed at work leaked within months. How many layers of grp do you use? Is there a limit?

Excellent job gents.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thank you kindly!

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Lovely job, but I’d personally prefer 2 layers of fibreglass mat and a thicker float coat finish.

[@pauljames1258]

Any thicker and it will crack

[@tammyfinch5589]

that looks great!

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thanks

[@MrFlatroofer]

Since I blogged a year ago,I met a friend who had been using F/G for a long time. Nuf said.

[@nettybooa1104]

That roof will not leak again. Proper job!

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thankyou

[@muzakhan6458]

Question @darrenthebuilder why not use full length marine ply board fewer joins comparatively ,yes expensive but labour is more expensive than the material so why not use the best, as with other boards you getting wraps and puddles, Agree with the thin coat but definitely will do second coat. Love the way you did the baywindow tiles. I am not a roofer but done few roofs for friends learning from the likes of your videos , thanks pls reply

[@bartmonk4573]

It seems that you have put the boards tight to the upstand... it is good to have a gap of at least 10 mm.. other than that looks good🙂🙂

[@DanielPaprocki]

Looks realy nice ☺👍

[@Sitdown570]

That looks amazing with black top coat! How long did it take to do that roof

[@mickeyjoe848]

They look well but that's about it. Here in Ireland we replace these roofs on a regular basis. There is no movement and they crack. Most have only been done between 5 and 8 years

[@warrenbarton6608]

That is a common misconception that there is no movment in a GRP roof,there is, the resin is manufactured to contract and expand, if the installation is correct a GRP roof will last 30 years easy, the manufacturer will guarantee it for 20 years

[@MrFlatroofer]

They last that long?

[@kennethhume8628]

I don’t know much about glass fibre roofing , how long should that renewal last ? . Another excellent job , top work .

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thankyou, there’s no real time on gro roofs but if done properly should be decades really

[@leebrogden8098]

Although it looks like a nice job, there are multiple things it looks like you didn't do, acetone the roof after sanding leave 25mm expansion gaps against the walls rebate the drip trim look into a topseal course they will show you how to do it properly but it is more expensive gear than cure it 👍

[@darrenthebuilder]

That’s the problem with us all judging 4 days work in a time lapse video. Not everything is shown (this isn’t a tutorial). All is not as it seems 🙂 obviously we can all learn more

[@ashrafwallace]

Loving the videos. I’m having issues with a fibreglass roof that was done 18 months ago, leaking into my Dorma and into the bedroom below. Hopefully got a proper roofer to do it all again in March/April. Would you recommend a fibreglass or rubber roof??

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thanks Ashraf, sorry to hear youre having problems. Ive never used or installed the rubber ones so im afraid so i cant compare

[@ashrafwallace]

@@darrenthebuilder thanks for replying roofer that I have doing the job in a few months says it’s a right mess which it is when I look at it and he recommends fibreglass as it should be 100% waterproof but after what pervious builder has done I’m worried as my spare room ceiling is a right mess. But watching your videos gives me confidence that if done right the roof should be fine. Just looking for reassurance really.

[@Imflightmode]

Where are you based

[@garvielloken3929]

Bro, the trims you put around the lantern - are they the same ones you have on sides and back?

[@Bolloface]

I wanna fiberglass my mum's flat roof. It's got some old leaking felt at the mo. Do you think I definitely will need to change the boards? It all feels quite solid. I'm guessing if it looks ok once I've taken the felt off maybe I can get away with sanding, acetone and fiberglass. Is that an option? I hope you don't mind me trying to scrounge some free advice from you. Thanks for your videos, really helpful.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi if you’re going to fibreglass you will need to use new OSB boards. You might have the option of over boarding (ie. fix the new OSB boards on top of the existing felt roof but it’s better to remove it. I’d advice to strip and fit new boards before glassing.

[@Bolloface]

@@darrenthebuilder Thank you for your reply. I think this job is way over my head. It seems that bitumen stops fibreglass from curing. Thanks again.

[@alexandrepelosini7369]

I would like to know if this fiberglass paint can be placed inside the slab ceiling as it is also fiberglass tile and it can be used as anti-condensation?

[@123prestolee]

Quality fella - would you use it on a concrete slab roof that’s going to be used as a balcony? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi yes you can fibreglass onto concrete once you use the correct primer. Cure it have a new prime specially for that. I think it’s called evo something

[@123prestolee]

Build and repair and restore Excellent - thank you for your time..

[@MrFlatroofer]

All warm roofs have to be inspected by Building control from the local authority after paying the £60 fee. if they pass off a roof that is not built to Part L something is very wrong. If it helps, the relevant regulation is Part L 1B section 5 Appendix A. You cannot construct a warm roof with GRP

[@darrenthebuilder]

Respectfully vote taking rubbish and clearly dont know what you’re talking about so I’m not even going to argue with you.

[@ironian24]

Just a question, could you not have gone over the existing roof rather than pull the other one up?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi yes you can go over. In this case the decking boards had been compromised and some had started to rot so the customer wanted them all off and replaced. You can go over with new boards or sand back the existing fibreglass and add a new layer but the boards underneath must be in sound condition.

[@ironian24]

@@darrenthebuilder thx for that, you guys do a great job, look forward to more videos, can you recommend a company for the resin and fibre glass sheeting?

[@roofingshiteroofing1189]

2:02 Thats not a fibreglass roof, its a different material!

[@darrenthebuilder]

It is fibreglass. I was there.

[@stena_vlogs]

@@darrenthebuilder That is polyurethane liquid roofing mate not fibreglass, however it does look similar!

[@manoykulukoy2926]

Ayyayayyy wrong procedure buddy It's not gonna long last fiberglass waterproofing

[@MrFlatroofer]

Why are you removing the OSB and then replacing it with more OSB? I'll tell you why, i suspect the the OSB has rotted because the OSB was layed on top of the insulation instead of underneath the insulation. Wrong. The same thing will happen with the new roof.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Yes. It was rotted in places due to poor application of the grp. This is a warm roof and should have OSB as a top layer before glassing. Cheers

[@MrFlatroofer]

@@darrenthebuilder I suggest you contact building control,

[@darrenthebuilder]

What for? Here is some info on warm roof construction. I don’t know but you do roofs in England as you keep saying stuff that’s not true. Anyway here’s a link… www.cncbuildingcontrol.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/CNCD-053-Warm-Roofs-Easy-Guide.pdf Roof joist, then lower deck, vapour Barrier, insulation, upper deck , the grp (or felt/rubber or whatever covering you’re using.) peace.

[@MrFlatroofer]

This is for "guidance", not law. it would not pass in Wales where I live and building control must inspect it before the 3 layers of felt.@@darrenthebuilder

[@darrenthebuilder]

@@MrFlatroofer I knew you were not in England because it’s obvious that you don’t know the laws here. This is 100% normal in England and most drawing approved by bc are exactly like this. No point arguing from two different countries laws mate. We just accept that different countries do things different. Peace.
