He says the pinholes and air bubbles are only there because of the old boards. He seems to have an excuse every time I say that the fibreglass doesn’t look properly installed. Even when it leaked, it took an additional day for the water to soak through into the bathroom. And he didn’t know why it happened and ask us if our neighbours had used their hose on our roof. so when you say it’s been done so badly, what are the tell tale signs for you?

How long do you think it might last? Builder said it would be a few years then replace with new boards.

Even if it had rained, Is it meant to look that bad?

this was day after it rained

It was applied on a day when it was 27 degrees, and surface temp probably even hotter

He still wants £675. And I’m very reluctant to give in, however don’t know where that leaves me legally. He said that he’s completed a watertight roof, but from what you also say it seems he hasn’t!

We started with a felt roof, that he completely ripped off for this GRP, which he called a “repair job”. As we had one leak, that wasn’t even major, just a water patch on the ceiling that didn’t actually “leak”. Now we have ruined ceilings in three rooms, and I’m starting to think it would have been easier to stick £50 tarp over our felt roof.

Hi, looking for some advice please as I’m unhappy with the work my builder has done! He quoted £2000 for a GRP roof, that covered around 40m2. (His original quote thought it was less large but more on that later) This is on plywood (might be chipwood), as we couldn’t afford new OSB boards. (Were quoted £4000 for boards included). However there’s air bubbles all over the roof, including pinholes. And when he laid the top coat, the surface beneath was mainly white, and I read it’s meant to be transparent. There was also rain during the curing process, which led to £400 worth of damage to our ceilings as it leaked in 5 places. I also found out he never measured the roof, and was using half the amount of materials needed only buying more after it rained, and roof leaked. He’s insisting it won’t leak again, but there’s pinholes and air bubbles all over which doesn’t give me much hope! So I was wondering if you all agree that this work is worth 2k? And what my options might be. The builder said he never promised it would work 100%, only 85 - 90%, and he’s placed the blame on me because I didn’t give him exact measurements, and also didn’t tell him it was going to rain!
