It's very rare to find a felt roof that doesn't leak within its 10 year guarantee period
and certainly afterwards. Repairing them is always difficult and usually involves stripping it all off and starting again
That is until Resistall came along with their selection of roof repair products
They're all great. Look at the videos and we'll show you how to repair leaking felt roofs
Well I'm hoping you've seen our videos. on resistal roof repair mortar
which we use to build the upstand for a fan light in the roof
I'm also hoping you've seen our video on using the acrylic polymer
roof repair coating high build to do two thirds of this roof that we're on
we're going to finish off by using the resistor bitumen high build
repair roofing this is great stuff we've used it before It designed to give you a complete flexible coating over the top of existing felt The drawback with this as opposed to the acrylic polymer is that this has to be applied to a completely dry roof
whereas the acrylic polymer can go onto a damp roof. And the acrylic polymer is a little bit longer, or more hard wearing, it will last the same time but it's more hard wearing
It's more industrial although suited very much for DIY. I would also recommend the bitumen coating for smaller flat roofs around about this
roofs around about this size a normal flat roof to a shed or a little lean to. Incredible
stuff doesn't need stirring straight out of the tin straight on the roof spread it about
with the squeegee which you'll see us doing later on. I've no need to come back to you because the rest of the video is self-explanatory but for smaller roofs fairly solid
roofs use the high bill bitumen coating for larger roofs which are a little bit more
flexible because of their size and the acrylic polymer is the one to use but all
incredible products from Resistol. Yep, perfect. Alright. Okay. Okay
See the sunshiny on the sun shining on it
Resist all high build bitumen roof repair Great stuff While the recommendation from Resistall is that this is put on with a squeegee
there's no problem with that of course but if it's a bit cold the roof repair
bitumen gets a bit stiff and you might find it easier if you're used to using a trowel or a plasterous float to put it on with
that. A squeege is great but if it's a warmer it's a whole lot easier but if it's a
bit cold like it's today then a float might be the best thing to use but whatever you do
make sure you've got a cover coverage between one and three millimeters and in reality it
doesn't matter what you use to put it on as long as you get it on and you've got a great covering but it's resist all high build bit of
in roof repair and it's excellent
