GRP - The Way Ahead or Maybe not!

After working with all types of oast cowls most of my life I can honestly say the most problems I ever have are with GRP. Once fitted for the first seven to eight years there fine but after that most of the bolts and fixings rust into a solid mass and maintenance is impossibility.

We have also found that just washing them down removes the surface fungi and moss but the black road film creeps under the top surface of the fibreglass and even after cleaning the cowl still has a grey look about it and sometimes the fungi can get right into the fibreglass mat itself and can't be removed.

We now have so many people calling for maintenance that they cannot get from the original supplier we have decided to do a refurbishment package.

We Can;
supply and fit new fingers
supply and fit new motifs
supply and fit new support arms
clean down the cowl inside and out
clean down inside and out then recoat the cowl to look like new again

The real point is if you want a good cowl that will last a life time have a real wooden cowl which can be repaired if needbe but with a fibreglass copy that's all you get is a copy not the real thing just a plastic similarity.
