Watco Roofite

- Structural strength solutions
Watco Roofite is a brush-applied roof repair coating that combines modified bitumen, rubber and fibre reinforcement. It seals and weatherproofs suitable exterior roofing surfaces, bridging small splits and cracks to help extend the life of an existing roof.
Use it for local repairs or wider refurbishment of compatible concrete, corrugated metal, felt and tiled roofs. Its flexible formulation is designed to cope with seasonal temperature changes without becoming brittle in the cold or flowing in summer heat. The black finish gradually weathers towards grey. Roofite can also make limited emergency patches in wet conditions, although planned refurbishment should be carried out on a surface that is as dry as possible.
- Thick, fibre-reinforced rubber and bitumen coating.
- Usually one generous brush-applied coat.
- Can be combined with reinforcing scrim for suitable cracks and overlaps.
Surface Preparation
Remove loose dirt, debris and growth and ensure the underlying roof is sound. Treat heavy biological contamination with an appropriate product and follow its preparation instructions. Dry the surface as far as practical. Very porous dry surfaces may require priming with Roofite diluted with 25% white spirit, following the technical sheet. Seek specialist advice for any asbestos-containing roof; do not disturb it during preparation.

Coverage
Approximately 1m² per kg: 5m² per 5kg or 25m² per 25kg. Apply generously at the specified rate rather than brushing out to a thin film. Reinforced areas and local repair details can use more material.
Directions for Use
- Prepare the roof and apply a generous coat by brush.
- At suitable cracks, holes and sheet overlaps, bed cut-to-size reinforcing scrim into the wet Roofite.
- Stipple a further coat over the scrim so the reinforcement is covered. Follow the system instructions for the repair detail.
- Allow approximately twenty-four hours to form a surface skin in suitable dry conditions. Drying starts once surface water has evaporated; this is not a guarantee that a thick repair is fully cured.
Limitations
Not suitable for EPDM rubber roofs or for forming a waterproof seal directly over bare timber. Limit wet application on porous surfaces to emergency patches, as trapped moisture can cause later blistering or spalling. For regularly walked-on flat roofs, select an appropriate traffic-capable system such as Liquid Roof Membrane Anti Slip. Check compatibility with unfamiliar roof materials. Store away from heat and ignition sources and protect from frost.
Product FAQs
Can Roofite be used in the rain?
It can make limited emergency patch repairs in wet conditions. For planned repairs or refurbishment, prepare the surface as dry as possible.
How much roof does it cover?
Approximately 1m² per kg, giving about 5m² from 5kg or 25m² from 25kg before allowance for detailed reinforced repairs.
Can I coat an EPDM roof?
No. The manufacturer excludes EPDM rubber roofs and bare timber waterproofing applications.
When should I use reinforcing scrim?
Use it as directed to bridge suitable holes, splits and overlaps, bedding it into wet Roofite and covering it with another coat.
