Learn more 04 Why we don't fit GRP
GRP fibreglass roofs crack, leak, and fail. On average within 10–15 years.
Single ply membranes flex with the building, handle 40+ years of UK weather, and carry a 20-year manufacturer-backed warranty plus our own 20-year workmanship guarantee — both transferable. It's the same system used on Wembley, the Emirates, and the Google Data Centre.
- No brittle resin to crack in cold snaps
- Heat-welded seams — no glue, no failure points
- 40+ year service life on a proper install
- Class 1 fire rating, breathable, vapour-controlled

"Chris at Skyguard was brilliant from start to finish. He came out quickly, explained everything clearly, and the work was done to a really high standard. No mess left behind, the roof looks spot on, and I finally have peace of mind knowing it won't be leaking again."

"Really happy with the job done on our summer house roof. The team installed a single ply PVC roof and it looks spot on — neat, tidy and built to last. Would definitely recommend if you're after a straightforward, professional job."

"Employed Chris for a full roof survey on a property we were buying. The survey is incredibly detailed and thorough but also easy to read for someone who doesn't know about roofs. Friendly, cheap and reliable — would recommend his services to absolutely anyone."
