joe90 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I have a neighbour with a flat roof that is leaking slightly and wants a product he can “slap on” whilst it’s still wet. He is planning to have it renewed/mended in the summer when it stops pissing down. Can anyone recommend such a product??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I've used Acrypol, Cromapol, Flexacryl. You can get a 5kg of Sealacryl online for about £30. Spent a good few hundred quid over the years. One side of the dormer is just about holding, the other side is shot! I keep putting off doing it properly as I'd like to extend the dormers by a few feet either side. It'll work for a while. Best results I've had when I've not just brushed off the debris but used a cleaner. Think I used No Nonsense Degreaser last time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just now, joe90 said: Oops. “it cannot be applied on wet or damp surfaces. ” Bugger Somewhere on here is a product that can be applied in the wet. Might be what @Onoff uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the names I quoted work when the roof is really damp/wet. They were all much the same to apply. Broom to spread, bucket with a bin liner in for the broom when you're done. I'd go for this, cheapest I can find for 5kg in eBay: https://bond-it.co.uk/waterproofing/sealacryl/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Currently the shot side has a length of DPM on with sandbags.....it don't half flap and bang when it's windy! There's more bags up there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I slung one brand over another with no apparent reaction. One might have been a bit stiffer to spread but I can't remember which one. They all go on like hairy paint (the fibres) then it "settles". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
