Its rubber, fibre and fine aggregate blend forms a flexible repair for suitable holes, depressions, splits and details around roof penetrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle pack repair compound with rubber and fibre reinforcement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor suitable horizontal and vertical roof defects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrush and trowel application, depending on the detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSurface Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the damaged area and remove loose dirt, debris and unsound material.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocal holes, depressions, splits and suitable details around roof pipes, gutters and similar penetrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much will a pack cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 1m² at 5mm thickness from 5kg.
