Ways to save on your fibreglass roof
Hire a professional
Professional roofing contractors should be able to provide a full survey to assess the condition of your roof and determine whether you need a new flat roof. In such instances, a reputable roofer will offer extensive guarantees that also include third-party protection.
Install the fibreglass yourself
A cheaper and more cost-effective alternative to hiring a professional roofer is to install the roof yourself. Some suppliers offer fibreglass roofing kits containing the necessary tools and materials for most roofing sizes. Detailed guides are also available to ensure installers create a reliable solution.
