It's very rare to find a felt roof that doesn't leak within its 10 year guarantee period
0:07
and certainly afterwards. Repairing them is always difficult and usually involves stripping it all off and starting again
0:14
That is until Resistall came along with their selection of roof repair products
0:20
They're all great. Look at the videos and we'll show you how to repair leaking felt roofs
0:25
Well I'm hoping you've seen our videos. on resistal roof repair mortar
0:32
which we use to build the upstand for a fan light in the roof
0:38
I'm also hoping you've seen our video on using the acrylic polymer
0:44
roof repair coating high build to do two thirds of this roof that we're on
0:50
we're going to finish off by using the resistor bitumen high build
0:54
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
1:12
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
1:22
It's more industrial although suited very much for DIY. I would also recommend the bitumen coating for smaller flat roofs around about this
1:28
roofs around about this size a normal flat roof to a shed or a little lean to. Incredible
1:34
stuff doesn't need stirring straight out of the tin straight on the roof spread it about
1:38
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
1:46
roofs use the high bill bitumen coating for larger roofs which are a little bit more
1:52
flexible because of their size and the acrylic polymer is the one to use but all
1:56
incredible products from Resistol. Yep, perfect. Alright. Okay. Okay
2:34
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
3:26
there's no problem with that of course but if it's a bit cold the roof repair
3:33
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
3:44
that. A squeege is great but if it's a warmer it's a whole lot easier but if it's a
3:50
bit cold like it's today then a float might be the best thing to use but whatever you do
3:55
make sure you've got a cover coverage between one and three millimeters and in reality it
4:01
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
4:08
in roof repair and it's excellent
