Restec Flexitec 2020 GRP Overlay System

Project Overview

Flagship School, a specialist SEN institution in Hastings, required a durable and low-disruption solution to refurbish a large flat roof area on one of its key buildings. While the existing roof had visible wear and age-related deterioration, its structure remained sound—making it an ideal candidate for a GRP overlay rather than a full replacement.

Scope of Work

DL Jones Roofing was appointed to deliver a full refurbishment using the Restec Flexitec 2020 liquid-applied GRP system. This high-performance overlay offered a seamless finish, fast curing times, and long-lasting waterproofing—perfect for minimising operational impact at a busy school site.

Key Works Included:

  • Detailed inspection and prep of the existing roof surface
  • Application of Restec primer for optimal adhesion
  • Full encapsulation using Restec Flexitec 2020 GRP
  • Seamless integration around plant, ductwork, and roof upstands
  • Installation of all necessary trims and edge detailing

Why a GRP Overlay System?

The Restec overlay system was selected not only for its proven performance but also for its eco-friendly and cost-efficient advantages:

  • Reduced waste: No need to strip and dispose of old coverings
  • Minimal disruption: Faster turnaround ideal for a live school environment
  • Seamless finish: No joints, no weak points
  • Enhanced durability: Crack-bridging and UV-resistant

Results

The refurbished flat roof now delivers robust, low-maintenance protection capable of withstanding years of environmental exposure and movement. With zero disruption to the school’s operation and no compromise on quality, this project demonstrates our ability to execute high-spec roofing upgrades in sensitive, high-traffic environments.

Client Feedback

“The professionalism, speed, and quality of the work delivered was outstanding. The overlay system saved us time, money, and unnecessary environmental impact. We’re very pleased with the final result.”
