GRP Chimneys
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is a matrix of woven glass fibre sheets layered and set within resin; it has an excellent strength to weight ratio, and can be moulded into almost any shape and size with highly detailed textures, finishes and unlimited colours.
These lightweight prefabricated solutions require little to no reinforcement in situ, and are manufactured at our in-house facilities to the highest standards using a unique process that gives us the fastest supplier times in the market.
10 year warranty
All of our prefabricated chimneys are supplied with a 10 year product warranty (full terms and conditions available on request). Brickfab is the only manufacturer to hold both CGMA and BBA accreditations for both brick-clad and GRP chimneys.
Features
- Quick to lift – Our Developer GRP chimneys are light, with removable lifting eyes for a quick and easy lift onto the roof.
- Perfect pots – The pot is made to imitate colour of real terracotta clay pots.
- In position – The GRP Developer Chimney sits on three layers of roof felt and is screwed and sealed in place. They are so light they need very little or no reinforcement at all.

- Finishing touch – Our prefabricated chimneys are available in almost any brick colour. We work with you to ensure a perfect match.
