Posted by Bob Bulmer on Tue 30th October 2007 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Construction,  Damp Issues

If you have a small hole or crack in a flat roof it is a relatively simple process to repair it.

You will need the following to repair a flat roof:

• Protective gloves.

• A large stiff brush.

• Step ladder.

• Liquid rubber.

• You might also need a primer.

If you have the above you can now repair your flat roof as follows:

• Use your stiff brush to clear away all dust and dirt from the hole or crack.

• If the roof has been treated with a tar bitumen coating you will need to apply a primer for the liquid rubber. It is important that this is completely dry so leave it alone for 24 hours.

• Apply a coat of liquid rubber as recommended by the manufacturer.

• It should be water proof within the hour. Although you will need to let it dry for 2 days before applying a second coat.
