Appraising type of installation before using a GRP Roof Restoration Kit

Due to the innovation of the TekGuard FLEXI-GRP system it can be applied to a range of surfaces which means that existing roofs deemed to be sound (see below) can be overlaid with FLEXI-GRP, meaning that a substantial amount of time and cost can be saved by overlaying suitable roofs. Not all roofs will be suitable without remedy first, the guide below details suitability. The FLEXI-GRP system can also be laid onto new OSB3 where the roof deck requires replacement.

Overlaying existing roof – Appraising roof condition

When appraising an existing roof, care must be taken to identify potential defects and points of failure before installation, all defects or points of failure should be remedied before commencing further. It is strongly recommended that core samples are taken to ascertain the existing structure and the condition of the underlying substrate as this forms part of the guarantee.

Where roofs are completely sodden or saturated it would be recommended that the affected areas are removed and replaced with suitable materials to make the roof sound. When an area is defective through decay or wear it must be cut out and repaired to form a solid surface for the application of FLEXI-GRP. Please refer to the separate guide on the preparation of different surface materials that are in common use.

Please remember to read through the guide fully on the suitability of surfaces that can be overlaid, FLEXI-GRP has been designed to perform on a range of roofing materials however due to a wide variety of seemingly similar materials that vary in manufacture and quality, it is recommended that a small area is tested for the strength of bond before commencing the main body of work.

Part of the appraisal should take into account the existing detailing such as upstands, drip trims and outlets, these will form part of the overall system and need to be in suitable condition to avoid a system failure, any redundant or failed details need to be either removed or replaced prior to application.
