There is nothing wrong with GRP roofs all the systems I install are directly bonded to the deck,with all installations of any system you will find pros and cons but you will find nearly all problems are down to installation and not product. For peace of mind use a company that give a insurance...

Thanks for all your thoughts,I don't mind if the plasterer prefers pva I will get that,it was just a thought as I had the acrylic primer lying around so I thnk I will let him decide
