Watco Roofite Repair Mortar
Litres required: 0.00L
Based on 0.2 m² per litre- Lightwork of heavy-duty repairs
- Structural strength solutions
Watco Roofite Repair Mortar is a ready-to-use bitumen-based repair compound for local roof defects. Its rubber, fibre and fine aggregate blend forms a flexible repair for suitable holes, depressions, splits and details around roof penetrations.
It is useful where a thicker, trowellable material is needed rather than a thin roof coating. Suitable areas include compatible concrete, felt, metal and asphalt roof details, subject to the full preparation instructions. The black repair gradually weathers towards matt grey. Use it for the defect it is designed to fill, then complete any wider roof protection with a compatible specified system.
- Single pack repair compound with rubber and fibre reinforcement.
- For suitable horizontal and vertical roof defects.
- Brush and trowel application, depending on the detail.
Surface Preparation
Inspect the damaged area and remove loose dirt, debris and unsound material. Prepare the substrate as dry as possible for a lasting repair and follow the Roofite system instructions for porous surfaces. Treat growth with a suitable product where required. Existing roofing materials and adjacent finishes must be compatible. Obtain specialist advice for asbestos-containing roofing without disturbing it.

Coverage
Approximately 1m² per 5kg at 5mm thickness. The range sheet also expresses this as 5m² at 1mm. Consumption depends on the depth and shape of the repair; allow 0.2m²/kg when planning at 5mm.
Directions for Use
- Prepare the repair and follow the specified Roofite priming or reinforcement detail where required.
- Work the compound into the defect using an appropriate brush or trowel, ensuring contact with the prepared edges.
- Build and finish the repair to suit the specified detail, avoiding unsupported bridging over large holes.
- Allow approximately twenty-four to forty-eight hours in suitable conditions, following the current Roofite range technical sheet. Weather and repair thickness can extend this.
Limitations
Do not use a local repair compound to conceal a structurally weak roof or major movement. Check compatibility before treating unfamiliar roofing materials. Roofite range limitations include EPDM rubber roofs and direct waterproofing over bare wood. Wet application should be restricted to suitable emergency patches rather than broad repairs that trap moisture. Store away from heat, ignition sources and freezing. Obtain a current GB safety sheet from Watco before use; the product page currently offers an Irish version.
Product FAQs
