Hi. I need to extend the drip edge of my GRP roof as it's just missing the gutter sometimes. I think it's that close to being OK the direction of the wind makes a difference.

My plan was to "glue" a UPVC drip edge on and paint it grey to match the rest of the roof. Stupid idea?

The existing trim is as the red one below..it just wasn't extended far enough off the roof.

How and where would the felt support trays attach? The photos I can find they seem to be for tiled roofs so not sure how to use with a GRP roof. Thanks.
 
Ideally you need to get back the people who did your grp roof to deal with the issue, as they have decided you don't need a drip edge!
If you want to remedy his yourself then take off the guttering and slide felt support trays behind the drip trim, you will need to cut it down as it will be too wide.

Heh. They were right bloody cowboys! Actually it was me that did the roof I'll get a length and see if I can work it out how to install. Thanks.
