Watco Roofsafe
Litres required: 0.00L
Based on 2.0 m² per litre- Lightwork of heavy-duty repairs
- Structural strength solutions
Watco Roofsafe is a flexible roof coating that combines weatherproofing with a finely textured, slip-resistant finish. It is designed for suitable roofs where occasional access is needed for inspection or maintenance, rather than areas with frequent pedestrian traffic.
The fibre-reinforced, solvent based acrylic forms a high build coating that can bridge suitable splits and cracks up to 2mm. Black and Mid Grey options allow maintenance routes to be identified while protecting the roof surface. It is also useful for specified local repairs where an immediately water-repellent coating is needed, although planned refurbishment should be carried out on a surface that is as dry as possible.
- Single coat weatherproofing for compatible roofs.
- Fine textured surface for occasional maintenance access.
- Flexible formulation with UV and fade resistance.
Surface Preparation
Remove loose material, dirt and contamination. Treat moss or algae with a suitable fungicidal cleaner and prepare according to its instructions. Inspect the roof and repair defects outside the coating's scope. For a long-term repair, leave the surface as dry as possible. Obtain specialist advice for asbestos-containing materials and avoid disturbing them.

Directions for Use
- Stir thoroughly before use and carry out a trial where appearance is important.
- Apply one generous coat with a brush or medium pile roller to the prepared surface.
- Work carefully around suitable repair details and maintain complete coverage.
- Allow approximately twenty-four hours at 10°C under suitable conditions, with longer drying where weather or film thickness requires it. Control access while the coating dries.
Limitations
Not for balconies, EPDM rubber roofs, new asphalt or bitumen, timber or plywood, PVC or GRP. The broad gutter examples must not be taken as approval for excluded plastics. For frequent roof traffic, use a system specifically designed for that duty. The coating may soften temporarily at extreme heat. Keep away from ignition sources, condition material at 15–25°C before use and protect from freezing.
