Lovely bit of fibreglass roof!

A recent Fibreglass roof in Ramsgate

We were over in Ramsgate, Kent last week to remove a failing old asphalt roof for a customer (complete with its own mini-garden growing all over it!). Once that was all removed and safely disposed of, we got to work reboarding the roof and putting our fibreglass solution on top, so now our customer has complete peace of mind (and no more leaky roof!).

What is a fibreglass roof?

Fibreglass roofing, is another term for GRP roofing, which stands for Glass-Reinforced Plastic. It is a material used in roofing that is composed of a resin mixed with glass or fibrous strands. The resin is in liquid form when applied, but a catalyst is used which starts a curing process that turns the liquid into a solid over a short period of time.

The team at Frampton Roofing recently completed a large-scale industrial roofing project at the Flambeau warehouse and manufacturing facility in Ramsgate . This enormous roof had seen years of wear and was in urgent need of attention to prevent further deterioration. From moss-choked valleys to cracked sheeting and overgrown drainage systems, this was a serious clean-up and repair mission—executed while keeping the busy site operational throughout. The Challenge Flambeau’s factory spans a huge footprint, with long, pitched valley roofs running the length of the site. Over time, the central valleys had become overrun with: 🟢 Thick moss and vegetation growth 💧 Standing water due to blocked or sagging drainage ⚠️ Cracked and damaged sheeting along the valley lines 🌧️ Increased risk of leaks and pooling during heavy rain The goal was to restore effective drainage, clear debris, and repair visible damage—ensuring the roof would perform safely over the winter months and beyond.
