Bitumen All Weather Roofing Repair Compound Waterproof Roof Coating 25L

Brilliant, done the roof of the garage, sealed it up all over, left a nice finish.

This was my last throw of the dice before paying out £1.8k to have my felt garage roof re-felted. Stirring it was a challenge but with a stirring attachment in an electric drill I got the correct consistency and waited for a dry sunny day and applied it. Make sure you sweep the roof clear of all debris and your good to go. It's very thick and applying it takes effort, apply liberally with a tar brush. Waited 48hrs and gave it a second coat and 24hrs after that along came Storm Amy. I was dreading going into the garage to check but after 36hrs of torrential rain I checked and it was bone dry, nothing, no water ingress at all. Do the correct prep and apply liberally and this stuff is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone.

awesome product, did the job as expected highly reccomended. Delivery was also fast

Arrived in good time. I stupidly though hadn't considered just how heavy/awkward 25 litres was to carry up a ladder single handed, onto the garage roof. Decant half into another container to make it easier to carry, or get a hand from your neighbour. Anyway, it's pleasingly not too viscous, and was therefore easy to apply - used my wife's 2 litre kitchen measuring jug to pour where needed, and spread with a Draper 43783 Long-Handled Tar Brush. I've used some compounds in the past that really required lot of elbow grease. So, applied in Oct-2016, so let's see how this pans out over the coming years. Now to replace that measuring jug......and her marigolds.

Don't normally leave reviews but this product and speedy delivery deserves one..this is my third tin of this my first purchase was roughly a year and half or so ago..long story short I bought a house and garage roof was dire felt coming off and ply boards warped new roof to say the least leaking like a seive and if you stood in the garage u could see the sun through the roof really bad but didn't have the money at the time to spend on a new roof..project roof 1 went up on the roof swept it down and removed loose debris..mad a note of loose and bendy boards and braced them from the underside with wood same dimensions as my existing roof beams inside results a reasonably sturdy roof 2 apply this amazing product but be sure to mix well I used a mixing attachment fitted to my cordless drill remember the product contains fibres that need mixing well to bridge fine gaps and add to strength..then I bucketed it on and spread it out with a 5inch flat brush applying liberally but also spreading out as well this coat was not intended to seal my roof but provide a good sound base to make repairs to and apply a second coat 3 after a couple of days when weather was cooler I went on the roof with a tube of gutter seal not silicone this stuff is like a soft bitchimen based product that stays soft in a caulk gun and filled all gaps and cracks between boards that didn't move anymore as I'd braced them underneith remember 4 I bought some bitumen adhesive and felt and patched over all of my repairs and dodgy looking bits on the roof then went around all patches with the roofing compound that I had from my first tin mixed well and painted onto and over edges of new felt patches liberally to seal them in ...5 order another tin second tin about 3 weeks had passed now and it has rained and the roof itself held up well and didn't leek but I knew what I had done was not really enough so I went onto the roof again when the weather was cool as bitumen or anything of that nature softens in direct heat so pick Ur day I swept off my sound patched roof and applied the already well mixed second tin this time with a trowel /float what ever you know it as and I had enough product for one good coat trowled on plentyfull and left well alone to dry ....1and a half years later ish and that roof has not leaked once in has puddles stood on it as I said the boards were warped but the product where this water has stood has not failed it has been through winter and frozen and snow and direct heat and not once failed no leaks..that is why IV just ordered another it came the day after I mentioned excellent service my plan this weekend is to build up my areas of standing water I will do this with pea shingle adheared to the puddles area dry until level eliminating standing water and then when cured apply another coat of this roofing compound to the roof with a float once this is cured a week or to after the summer I will adhesive and spread chippings on my roof to act as a protective surface from the sun and also a nice look of a flat roof from the back bedroom window yes it's cost me a few quid over time but I didn't have the money for a new roof and I have got a lot of satisfaction from doing it and I also think it has really tested the roofing compound as my roof was so bad great stuff I will maybe put on some pics soon as it stands now and when it is finished before chippings hope this helped.

First class product done the job perfectly

So far so good, the leaky felt roofs appear fixed. I have now used the product on two large garden shed roofs. I found it to be a cost-effective way of repairing the leaks. I had a 25litre drum and needed a good thick pole and plenty of strength to mix the drum. This is necessary to ensure the fibrous sediment is brought back into the body of the liquid bitumen after storage/transportation. The 25litre drum is also fairly heavy to lift, so I recommend a small container and drip tray when applying with a brush. Easy to apply with a wide paint brush. Good coverage and finish appearance. However, the weather was warm, and the fist coat remained tacky after 24 hours. So I advise to leave 48 hours between coats, particularly if using boot and knee pad protection.

Looks really good stuff easy to mix and used a paste brush to apply,another coat tomorrow and see what happens when it rains 🌧 😀
