I've been in the trade in the Northwest for 40 years, and I'd like to say great job guys, men of my own hart (good tea - good pies - good job and a great video)

[@louikn__7179]

Looks great, tip for ya..... plane the front edge where the drip trim is fixed to, stops any lipping from the trim. Kerb trims dont matter 👍👍

[@m110ncustomize7]

Excellent job. Extremely talented. Highly recommended

[@carolneeves7530]

It's so nice to see someone do a good job ! I am one of several others that has been left with a building site and work unfinished so it's nice to know that there are some good builders out there xx well done 👍🏻

[@lameduck3630]

Back in the days when I used to dabble in boatbuilding it was received wisdom to add styrene to the resin for the first 'primer' coat onto the wood - just to thin it out so that it adhered better.

[@bricky339]

Men of many talents, great video. Thanks chaps.☺

[@kennysmith8358]

Did my garage roof , great material but , you have to prepare the job , plan it , and work to the plan . Thanks for the vid.

[@kingkurtzig]

Great video, some brilliant help for my first attemp at a fibreglass roof on my dormer tomorrow

[@mac8775]

Totally Awesome Job, well done Guys. a masterful finish

[@autobot72ah]

What a beautiful job stu..credit to you & ya' Dad bless him.! Take care pal.!

[@Stucrompton1]

thanks adam mate you too

[@gateway8833]

I know why you leave a gap in the roof decking, what I'm wondering is does the figerglass expand and contract? If so, do both materials expand and contract in the same direction and same amount? Thank you.

[@StigEtDump]

Cheers bud, Ill have to do my own so this is very encouraging. Good vids.

[@Waxvalet]

Another mint job. But turn the music down lol. You talk dead quiet then the music is loud. Haha

M8.. never done a roof before but gonna save me self a couple of grand thanks to you’re video. Work in steel so ok on tools, but this is a little different. Nice one 👍

[@pb9926]

I've done a few fibreglass roofs but mine didn't look as neat as yours, top job guys👍

[@kc8563]

Great job!!

[@geraldfitzgerald1255]

Really enjoyed well presented...great!! Can you lay fibre glass on previously applied stuff?

[@kopynd1]

did a poly roof about 27 yrs ago but used plywood still in good condition, but went back to the pvc membrane and built up roofing, first used the pvc membrane 40yrs ago and found it to be the easiest roofing system on the market,

[@matthewwatkins1854]

Great job Stu. I didn't realise how many steps were involved, end result looks great.

[@jonock1]

My elderly mother had a "friend" do her garage. He did the woodwork and got someone else to fibreglass it. It doesn't look too bad but they assumed the gutter would be on the wrong side and now there is a massive pool. Can that be remedied by cutting off the raised edge and refinishing?. Also it has bits sticking up all over just top-coated over

[@Kaleidescopekweenofficial]

superb job !

[@splashbunny]

Great tutorials and those pies wow!!!!!

[@ianperkins918]

OK thanks, great videos mate

[@Stucrompton1]

thanks for watching ian

[@coryreid7152]

Great video! If you ever wanted a smoother finish on the fiberglass, you can buy a fiberglass tissue to put on top of the fiberglass Matt .👍

[@handle1196]

Would that mean from the osb upwards you'd go. Resin, Matting,resin, fine matting, more resin then topcoat?

[@JenGleedify]

This takes me back to the early 1990's when I worked all over the north of England and Scotland,fibreglass ing all the Esso petrol station forecourt roofs.It was a right royal pain in the arse because we were told we could not lay it if the air humidity was more than 5 %.Which as you will know yourself living in the north that is most days.We spent most of our time getting to sample the local beers and smoozing the ladies.If I remember rightly we had to add expansion joints on anything over 20 sq metres.It was a lot easier than felt roofing though,and I loved the smell of it.The method of laying it does not seemed to have Changed much in all these years.

[@Stucrompton1]

nice one mate thanks for the comment royal pain in the arse it is lol good job we dont do it daily stu

[@chrisjones3901]

Glad i read your humidity note ,im waiting for the roof to be done where i work,owners neglected roof for over 15 years,they said they need two dry days to do fiber glass,lol we in the north too and it dec two dry days um maybe next year,how do you guys earn your money in engĺand,im thinking im gonna have to bin my business now and find another job as i cant see it ever going to be time weather wise to compleate,they put plastic over boards for now and 2 inches of water on floor from leaks,, i dint know what fiber glass covering was but at least i do now glad i saw this vid

[@premsworldfamily6616]

How much was the cost for this as an idea please? It’s between rubber or fibreglass

[@sunilkumararickattu1845]

How many resin & ctalayst you added.? 3% catalyst for 3 kg is 30 ml & What's the temarature noted ?

[@michaelmcmillan8814]

How easy/difficult is this to do? I’m thinking of doing my conservatory roof. Also does this give any insulation at all?

Hey stu may i ask, im from canada and like in the USA we do a membrane on our roofs, inwas wondering how long will a roof last with the resin

[@michaelwarwick9930]

Hi Stu. I've been watching GRP videos the past few days because I have a few tricky drainage items to make that I can't source anywhere. I liked your video and your approach, but have a couple of questions... 1) Shouldn't you consolidate each laminate layer? It appeared that you did 2 layers together and with the time-lapse it's impossible to see whether the first layer was at it's 'tack' stage when you added the second? 2) You sanded the laminate, which I presume was due to that coat having cured. Couldn't you have reduced the catalyst to have given yourself time to add the next coat at the first coat's 'tack' stage? (I understand this gives the optimum bond?) 2) The chemicals and fibres you're working with are lethal to lungs...so you ought to wear suitable respirators when sanding (!) and use a vacuum cleaner rather than a sweeping brush to de-dust. If I was your client's neighbour I'd have stopped you in your tracks. Good work, mate, but remember that you, your helpers and your neighbours only have one pair of lungs. :-)

[@anon3308]

Yeah all good points

[@davelettman7027]

Great job stu, this is the first time I'm seeing a roof fiberglassed!!!! I live in Jamaica where it is summer practically year round! Would such a roof work out here?

[@Stucrompton1]

i would think so dave its sun resistent

[@handle1196]

Is it ok to apply fibreglass over the gaffer tap joints.i didnt think it would adhere

[@barrylewis123]

I would have liked to seen the Fibre glass mat laid from the front to the rear to avoid steps in the finish

[@Klayman100]

Interesting my roof is planked and they are a bit damp so not sure what to do?????

[@pinkeshyadav4965]

I love this work sir

[@pinkeshyadav4965]

Sir reply sms

[@pinkeshyadav4965]

I need this job

[@nickwalton8864]

Awesome job Stu. On the side of the dormer when you took off the cladding there appeared to be roofing felt covering the sides? Did you remove that and then insulate it or over the old felt? I have a similar dormer with no insulation and knackered plasterboard. Becoming a big job! :(

[@Stucrompton1]

+Nick Walton we took off the old felt insulated then re felted before we put cladding on 👍

[@nickwalton8864]

Do you come down as far as Holmes Chapel for work? How do I contact you? Have a few jobs. Cheers Nick

[@Stucrompton1]

Nick Walton hi nick you can send an email to [e-mail] cheers

[@Ms2Chill]

How long does this type of roof last? How has this one in the video held up?

[@tonyaguilar8407]

In the States we use EPDM/ rubber or TPO . Its a little faster process ,but I dont know if it is as durable as this though. I like this.

[@castorg5995]

I love your videos Stu ✌ What kind of camera do you use for filming your jobs?

[@gittin_funky]

What is the benefit of fibreglass roof over EDPM or felt ?

[@billiamc1969]

Here in USA folks use rubber membranes for this application...just wondering if you looked at that?

[@Stucrompton1]

not yet but will do thanks

[@marso9341]

Nice job that mate. Can you get different colours?

[@bradders9868]

A great job lads love our videos

[@davidbrianorchard1623]

awesome

[@bulldogcarparts3844]

Bit late to the party but you make great videos roughly what sort've price would this job cost? Thanks

[@carlosreyes6448]

Do you add wax to your resin

[@robinsoutherland9991]

Get yourself a blower stu, so much better than a brush/broom. Great for loads of other jobs. You’ll be surprised how much you use it

[@nedperry8527]

You have not cross vented the roof ?

[@davidblythen2655]

Hi, Ive just subscribed to your channel = Would I be able to use this system on metal tin roof on a sloping garage roof ?

[@flowroofing]

Nice work guys. Surely there should be some sort of detail or dog ear or something under the two pieces of lead by the lay board upstands??

[@CarlosNieves-gj3st]

What kind of roller do you use for that?

[@dermotbyrne2752]

Nice job. However that is a cold roof. Why no eaves ventilation, mushroom vents, or counter battens for air flow. I do fibreglass roofing and ventilation is very important to prevent delamination of the OSB as well as prevent mould inside.

[@waynemongo]

Would you have to put a mushroom vent for each joist?

[@carolneeves7530]

Does it have to be dry to put this type of roof on ?

[@stevebeasley8973]

What is the life span of the fibre glass roof?

[@TWFBrickwork]

Ive been watching your videos lately and been thinking to myself how u learnt all these jobs, did u go college or self taught?

lovely job! can you go over an existing felt roof with that stuff?

[@Stucrompton1]

i wouldn't recommend it due to the weight ian plus it a proper job ripping everything off

[@crocusinmaymay2835]

I've an old felt roof, but knackered and stripping it off would be so much work on my own. Would it be okay in your opinion, to build a light timber frame (on top of the old felt) and osb board on top of that ? The weight would not be an issue y'see and it would mean a lot less work for me...

[@Christopher_T_Paul]

Have you thought of an EPDM roof. There are kits from Firestone that supply an underlay to go straight over the top of a flat roof.

[@AshleyS994]

What kit did u get bud?
