Fiberglass Flat Roofing Project | Waltham Forest
Project Date: August 2024
Location: Waltham Forest, London
Client: Private Homeowner
Project Type: Roof Repair & Protection
This project involved the resurfacing of an aged flat roof in Waltham Forest using a high-performance fiberglass system. The existing roof was deteriorating, and the client expressed concerns about the potential for leaks, especially during heavy rain. The goal was to install a durable, long-lasting fiberglass roof that would prevent any future water ingress and provide a sleek, modern finish.
The Process:
Initial Assessment:
Upon arrival, we conducted a thorough survey of the existing flat roof. The surface was worn, with visible signs of degradation and previous patchwork repairs that were no longer effective in keeping the roof watertight.
Preparation:
The first step was to remove any loose debris and repair any damaged areas on the roof. Proper surface preparation is crucial in ensuring that the fiberglass system adheres correctly. This included cleaning the roof and priming the areas for fiberglass application.
Application of Fiberglass:
After preparing the surface, we applied multiple layers of fiberglass matting combined with a waterproof resin. This was carefully installed to cover the entire flat roof, including around roof lights and protrusions, ensuring that the entire surface was sealed and fully protected.
Finishing:
A final layer of topcoat was applied, providing a smooth and visually appealing finish. This topcoat is not only aesthetic but also adds an additional layer of protection against UV rays and weather damage. The roof was left with a clean, professional appearance that enhanced the overall look of the property.
