drjunk Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hi. Can anybody recommend tins of sealer I can brush on to repair a leaking flat mineral felt roof? Something that will last over 10 years. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 i if the felts gone that you need to repair it you will need to replace it. painting stuff on will work but its not a permanent fix. good luck getting a roofer to fix it we cant get one to re tile our house for anything.

Ghostrider Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Anything that will successfully seal a flat felt roof thats quickly, cheaply and easily applied is unlikely to keep it watertight for more than one year in Shetland weather, anything that will keep it sealed for longer is likely to be messy and time consuming to apply, and will probably end up being not exactly pretty looking. If its just where a flat roof joins a pitched one, or a wall etc that's the problem, then it may be worth fiddling with it and trying to do something with it. But if its the felt starting to go on the main flat area you're better off to replace it, either by stripping back to the wood and applying new felt, or just overlaying what you have with profile sheets of some sort, if the current construction design is suitable. Its the cheapest option in the long run, trying to patch up a flat felt roof is just an expensive and time consuming way of delaying the inevitable.

Hobbiniho Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 or you could paint it with sovereign k10 depending on how knackered the felt is would depend on how thick you would spread it, it wont last 10 years but probaly wont be far away as said the best thing to do would be to replace it how big is the roof anyway? http://www.sovchem.co.uk/paints-surface-coatings/roofing-products/k10-flexi-acrylic-roofing-compound.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
