My builder has had the roofer he sub-contracts come and replace a leaky rubber membrane on my flat roof. They have replaced it with GRP fibreglass .
They have done a shocking job. Terrible finish , debris under the paint, areas of fibreglass lifting up from the roof where it have not adhered properly.
They are currently onsite 'fixing' and re-finishing. This involves sanding back the paint and sanding off the fibreglass in the areas where it has not adhered to the wood underneath properly. they then plan to patch in small areas of new fibreglass and then repaint.
To me this feels like a horrendous bodge that will fail and leak . My gut tells me i need to go back to my builder and insist the roof is re-done properly. Before I do, can anyone offer any insight on the validity of the roofers approach- is it as bodgy and likely to fail as I think it is?
