The very mention of flat roofs or flat roofing is likely to bring people out in a cold sweat. This is not surprising because for most owners of flat roofs have had expensive and regular maintenance problems.
A lot of flat roofs are made from felt which has a very limited life of 10 – 15 years. Once the rain has got under the felt it is not uncommon for the deck beneath to fail particularly if it is made from chipboard.
However, do not despair; help is at hand if you live in Fife, Perth & Kinross or Lothian.
Genesis Composites offer a complete roof replacement service. This service includes stripping and disposing of the old roof surface including the deck if necessary and replacing it with a new timber deck. The roof is then laminated in situ with two layers of glass matting, using a high quality resin system. New trims are fitted all around which are fully laminated to the main roof deck providing a seamless one piece roof covering. This will not leak and will provide a very long trouble free service life.


.GRP makes an excellent material for use on a veranda because it is very tough and will withstand pedestrian traffic, deck chairs etc. It can also be installed with a non-slip surface to give added safety when walking on it if it is wet.
