Transforming a Leaking Conservatory Roof with GRP

When Adam from Total Fibreglass was called to assess a leaking conservatory roof in West Yorkshire, the situation had already worsened due to a failed repair attempt.

The homeowner had previously hired a local builder to fix persistent leaks. Instead of carrying out a full roof replacement, the contractor installed new boards and felt directly over the damaged structure.

The result?

  • Ongoing leaks
  • Trapped moisture
  • Structural deterioration
  • Additional costs for the homeowner

This is a common issue with temporary flat roof repairs, highlighting the importance of using a long-lasting system like GRP fibreglass roofing.

The Challenge: Failed Felt Roof Repair

Upon inspection, Adam discovered:

  • Severely warped and swollen roof boards
  • Extensive water ingress damage
  • A compromised structure unsuitable for repair

It was clear that a full roof replacement—not another patch job—was required to ensure long-term performance.

Our SOLUTION: TriRoof GRP Complete Roofing System

Step 1: Strip Back to Structural Base

The existing felt and damaged boards were fully removed to expose the underlying issues.

Step 2: Install New Decking

Adam installed high-quality TriRoof tongue & groove (T&G) boards, creating a solid and stable base.

Step 3: Apply GRP Roofing System

The TriRoof GRP Complete System was applied, including:

  • TriRoof Lloyd’s Approved Resin
  • Chopped Strand Matting for reinforcement
  • Durable Roofing Topcoat for weatherproofing
  • Precision GRP trims for a clean finish

The Result: A Watertight, Long-Lasting Roof

After completion, the transformation was immediate.

Key Benefits Delivered:

  • 100% watertight finish
  • Seamless GRP membrane (no weak joints)
  • Long-lasting durability (20+ years)
  • Clean, modern appearance

This project demonstrates why GRP roofing is one of the best solutions for flat roof replacements in the UK.
