Services
Fibreglass Roofing
Our fibreglass flat roofing systems provide seamless, joint-free installations using fire-retardant resin. Ideal for commercial and residential properties, these roofs last over 30 years with minimal maintenance. We offer both custom-built and readymade ribbed or slate-effect GRP sheets for quick application.
GRP Mouldings
We create precision GRP moulds for architectural details, industrial components, and themed structures. From decorative facades to complex split moulds, our workshop produces durable patterns for concrete or fibreglass replication in construction and design projects.
Campervan Conversions
Custom GRP high-top roofs for Volkswagen, Vauxhall, Renault, and Fiat vans enhance storage and headroom. Available in multiple styles, these lightweight, weatherproof roofs include options for skylights, vents, and colour-matched finishes to suit individual conversion needs.
Architectural Components
We manufacture GRP columns, cornices, window surrounds, and facades that mimic traditional materials like stone or timber. These lightweight, maintenance-free components offer design flexibility for both historic restorations and modern developments.
Industrial Linings
Our seamless GRP linings provide hygienic, chemical-resistant surfaces for industrial floors, walls, and vessels. Applied in environments like food vans, swimming pools, and milking parlours, these membranes ensure easy cleaning and long-term durability against wear and moisture.
