djkprojects Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Hello, I'm having kitchen extension built with a flat roof that will have a long 1.5m overhang. The roof will have GRP applied meaning an ugly GRP edge trim on top of the fascia. I would like the front of the roof to be completely flat like here: Is this possible without breaking any building regulations ? Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

markc Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Why would a GRP roof have an ugly raw edge? As you are keeping the gutter to the rear, a nice fascia is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 No reason why you can't get a large zinc or powder coated aluminium flashing made the full depth of the fascia to replace the standard grp drip detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 You can mimic most things in GRP. So not really sure what you mean about ugly edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makeitstop Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Yes, what Connor said. Companys such as Rainclear (who make copings / rainwater goods etc) would probably be able to make up something to an exact fit. Google it, there are loads of places that could do that. That would look properly neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djkprojects Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi guys, What I mean by ugly edge is the trim that goes over the fascia (the black edge). Are you saying that the flat roof can be installed without it without it when using GRP and meet Bregs? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would the roofer go about finishing the edges of the roof without the grp drip? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
