Fibreglass Roofs in Edmonton
If you need a tough, reliable fibreglass roof in Edmonton, you can count on the team at ABC Roofing Company (London) Ltd.
Traditional felt flat roofs have a habit of failing right when the weather turns wet, mostly because old seams peel apart under standing water. Glass-reinforced plastic, or GRP, solves that problem by curing into a single, seamless laminate shell right over your roof deck. Water simply cannot find an entry point.
We lay new fibreglass roofs and carry out repairs across Edmonton, working on domestic extensions, dormers, garages, and commercial sites. Over four decades in the trade, we have built our reputation on doing the job properly the first time, using materials that hold up for decades.
GRP Fibreglass Roofing in Edmonton
GRP is widely regarded as one of the most durable flat roofing choices you can make. Because resin and chopped strand matting cure into a single rigid layer, there are zero joints or glued seams to worry about down the line. We work with homeowners, commercial landlords, and local business operators right across Edmonton. Every project is measured and planned around the building layout, ensuring you get a solid roof that sheds rainwater effectively without pooling.
Fibreglass Roof Installation in Edmonton
A quality GRP install relies entirely on getting the deck right before applying any resin. We inspect the base timbers thoroughly, stripping back rotten boards and laying down fresh tongue-and-groove decking so the glass fibre matting gets a firm, stable anchor.
Once the deck is ready, we roll out the liquid resin base, bed in heavy-duty fibreglass matting, and work out any trapped air bubbles with a ribbed roller. After that cures, we apply a catalysed topcoat that seals the glass strands and gives the surface its finished grey colour. Specially formed drip and wall trims are fixed along every edge so rain flows straight into the guttering without touching your brickwork or fascias.
Fibreglass Roof Repairs in Edmonton
Fibreglass is remarkably tough and easily resists foot traffic, but extreme impacts like falling chimney pots or heavy construction tools can occasionally crack the topcoat or fracture the glass matrix beneath.
If your GRP roof in Edmonton suffers damage, you rarely need to replace the entire covering. We sand back the resin around the affected area, clear out any loose material, and laminate a fresh glass-fibre patch over the split. Once topcoated, the repair fuses directly with the existing structure to reinstate a full waterproof seal.

FAQs
The matting is saturated with resin to create the reinforced laminate that gives GRP its strength. Air must be worked out during application so the layers bond evenly. Once cured and protected by the topcoat, the roof forms a rigid seamless shell over the prepared deck.
Trims form neat, protected details at drips, raised edges and adjoining walls. They help direct rainwater towards the gutter and keep it away from fascia boards or masonry. The correct profile depends on the location, so different edges of the same roof may require different trim shapes.
The deck and materials need suitable dry conditions for the resin system to be applied and cured correctly. Weather planning is therefore an important part of the installation. Beginning when rain is likely can risk moisture affecting the build-up, so the work should not be rushed around an unsuitable forecast.
Trapped air can create weak or uneven areas within the laminate. During installation, the wet resin and matting are carefully consolidated so air is removed before curing. If a defect is later identified, its extent should be assessed rather than assuming a surface mark is only cosmetic.
No. The strength and waterproofing come from the complete GRP system, including the prepared deck, resin and reinforced matting. The topcoat seals and protects the cured laminate while providing the finished surface. It should not be treated as a substitute for repairing damage within the layers beneath.
Tell contractors that the surface is fibreglass, keep heavy or sharp materials off it and use suitable protection if access is unavoidable. Ladders and tools should not be dragged across the topcoat. Afterwards, check for chips, cracks or damage around edges and penetrations.
