Liquid rubber flat roofing system for new flat roofs or roof repairs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- We have been using liquid flat roofing systems for some years now. The old style GRP or Glassfiber flat roofs are becoming a thing of the past because of the difficulties on laying them and their rigidity. Liquid rubber and flexible polymer roofing systems have taken over a large part of the flat roofing market. The ability to flex over the duration of its lifespan is necessary for a flat roofing system. The application known as wet on wet has taken over thus allowing a new flat roof to be finished in a day. Also, the newer liquid roofing systems are able to be laid at 0c and rising and the flat roof can even be slightly wet as this helps the activation of the product. Other benefits of the new roofing system are that they are virtually odour free and can be used next to air-conditioning units on existing roofs, so perfect for overlaying old flat roofs that still have working plant on them. Unlike the old mineral felt roofing or asphalt roofing systems these new products don't need to use an open flame and thus the worry of fire is not an issue.

Absolutely a boss video this, you are well-spoken, the content was spot on and pre-planned. Thumbs up and subscribed.
SIR, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH YOUR MASTERFUL VOICE...FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS CLEARLY AND ELOQUENTLY.
Nice! Waterproofings are very interesting. There are many different ways to get them done. Just completed mine.
After this video, feel free to take a look.
Thanks for sharing.
The future of roofing is right there. Good presentation especially on the OSB demo.
Thanks the liquid roofing systems certainly has its advantages

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏽
Hydrostop AH-25 by SIG, that’s the product right Steve. Great video. Very well put together. Thanks.
Great clip thanks, I need to coat my felted garage roof, I've had a couple of minor leaks lately, but i cant complain, its lasted for 20 years.
This product looks ideal, my only concern is, if it peels off a plastic bucket that east, will it peel from the surface of the roof, which is felt with a coating over it?
Thanks for sharing these very informative videos. I have 2 flat roofs which are leaking and are felt with solar stones on them. Would you say a competent dryer would be able to install these systems? Have quite a tricky places going onto two plastic conservatory roofs!
Now that would be the trick!to cover any roofs!!
we plan to have hollow core slabs on our roof. does this product go right on top of it or is there any other material layer needed before you apply this? also we plan to have a natural stone to cover this membrane so can we apply tiles on top of it
Can you use has a flashing over a felting roof? please let me know, Thank you great video for a diyer.
Hi Steve
Another great video.
Do you need to prime the OSB at all, or just apply with the reinforcing blanket.
Can it be used in conjunction with GRP trims. 👍
I love this
saved £20K by repairing my roof myself using this stuff, makes it so easy. god bless liquid roofing and you tube :)
You probably didn't use the same product as this as it's only available to the trade but there is a. lot of liquid roofing products ont he market and when applied correctly are really good
😂
used a liquid rubber in a commercial metal gutter about 10 years ago - rust removed and primed with supplied primer - lovely warm weather when installed - joints reinforced as spec - went on perfect and looked brilliant - 10 years on with freeze and thaw the whole lot has broken down its completely useless I wont be using liquid rubber again @@HampsteadBuildersLt
So could you tell me what's the rubber solution called?
what product did you use and where did you get it?
Hi Steve great video 👌can this be applied right in top of felt ? ( torch down ) thanks
Hello would this mean no stripping of existing flat roof needed? For example worn out felt roof with a good clean you can apply this on top? Or would the felt roof need to be stripped down to ply?
What about a flat concrete garage roof that is also used as a patio/porch? In other words there is foot traffic on it. There is one drain in the middle but not a good slope anywhere.
is there a similar product you would recommend that is available to the common homeowner? or is there a way for a regular person to get this stuff? thanks a lot great video
could i lay this system over a grp roof putting plyboards down first? the area is 36mtre square.
thanks
Hi Steve, thanks for posting this. That drip detail going into the gutter looks great - how do you make that? Thanks. Michael
Hard to describe how but its made a lot easier when you have time on a job to do the buildup I was on this job for about 8 days so did the timberwork first then overlaid it with the Hydrostop AH-25+ roofing system leaving a small drip detail overhanging
@@SteveRoofer Thanks - it's for my own place so I can take the time. What I was wondering about is the area where you have the membrane hanging down loose into the gutter with no timber behind it; did you do that in situ and if so did you have a backing behind that you peeled off? I'm assuming you didn't just make it 'in the air' as it were...?
Great video steve. I have used the desmapol/Permaroof system on a few jobs. Tbh i fjnd them very awkward to use. Especially vertically. I forever got pin holes just as the material was about to cure. It has its uses but i find rubber or grp to be better. I am going to do the restec flexitec course. Have you used this?
The system above is AH25 and is really good on verticals it's also good as there is no mixing and no small so its very user-friendly I haven't used the Restec Flexite system so report back when you have used it will be interesting to know what you think
Steve, what product should I use for covering a fibre glass roof?
Hi Steve, just a quick one for you, how much roughly would it cost per square meter to have someone fit this liquid polyurethane???
Is it UV stable for use in high sun and high heat areas like Florida?
Hi Steve
Interesting, would you mind recommending a liquid rubber product as I’m looking into doing this but unsure which product would be best
Thanks in advance
Steve - I have a square bay with a flat roof and now have a leak where the roof joins the rest of the house. Can I use Isoflex on this. I think the flashing is damaged so can I paint this stuff straight on top of it or does it need a primer first? Should I send you photos?
What was the outcome please? I have a fibreglass roof which could do with coating
What about cold roof would it work on that?
I’ve a corrugated garage roof that seems to have lost it’s waterproofing , there isn’t any leaks as sure but the roof seems to absorb the rain then it drips inside garage . If the roof was cleaned , would painting this stuff onto the roof cure this problem? I’m not sure if the roof is concrete or asbestos, it’s 28 yrs old & built by Marley.
Cheaper just to replace it with a metal one.
Hello, do you think this would work to seal the bottom of an older wooden boat? I'm trying to rescue one and need a quick waterproofing to be able to refloat and move.
Might work if you painted the inside of the boat; not sure about the exterior.
Do you have the link for it?
Brilliant
Thanks
I do single ply and sometimes I do liquid roofs I hate it but, it smells and gets everywhere
Hi Steve quick question mate. I have got a fibre glass flat roof which hasn't been done right my question ui can we apply this stuff on top of the fibre glass and copping stones as well or what would you suggest thanks.
Same boat that I’m in, did you get any work done if so what did you go for ?
And in the same boat...
I think you should grind down any cracks and possibly apply this straight on top. I will call the company.
Problem with grp is not the product but lack of knowledge of people who lay it.
Hi Steve, great video. Highly informative. I'm a chippie/all rounder based in the Channel Islands and have used the system you are demonstrating as its a quality product. For the past 10 years I've used Dacfill HZ and before that I used Decothane. Have you ever used those products? And do you know of any better (or cheaper)? Cheers mate. Craig Stewart
Where we can buy this product
Whats the liquid rubber called ?
Hi Steve what brand of product are u using and how long has it been around can u do an full new roof or is it just for repairs
Hydrostop AH-25 by SIG (Sheffield Insulation Group) I don't know how long its been on the market ive been using it for three years or so
Hi I’m located on the east cost of Nova Scotia I had my roof done with a liquid roofing system and had lots of leaks on and off. The roofer didn’t use the fabric underneath the liquid I’m thinking this is the problem. Where would I get this fabric underlay for my job.
If the liquid product is not impregnated into a fabric of some kind that not only controls the depth, but also adds strength to the liquid system then, realistically it's not a recognised liquid roofing system. It is a DIY repair system
@steveroofer
How can i send you some photos over to you so you could maby advise me on tge best option i will need to fix ny flat roof ? Cheers will look forward to a reply
Yes just email the info to me Info@londonflatroofing.co.uk
Where can I buy this system?
Whats the tin called?
Do you ever use any single ply system Armourplan, Trocal etc?
We use EPDM rubber or reinforced liquid systems
What’s the product called?
Hi Steve would this work for repairing existing traditional rubber flat roofs?
Unfortunately its not on the market any more however there are others that will go over rubber
Hi there. Can you please recommend the alternative product suitable for existing fibre glass/grp roof? Regards
I always recommend doing roofs in EPDM or mineral felt the problem with mineral felt is that it uses a naked flame, and there's not many people who are doing it these days, so realistically, EPDM is always the way to go
What is the product name. Any chance of getting the product india or online. What is the price and area of coverage please
Hi Steve...I am a WATERPROOFING contractor in india
Which company material is this...
Coating
Can you run the up stand up an ICF wall?
Now that is problematic I did on one roof but I slowly cut into the insulation and made sure I tucked in really deep but it's becoming a problem
Morning I’ve got an EDPM roof can you use it on that ?
Yes, if you use the correct primers, but normally there's nothing wrong with an EP DM roof, so why ruin a good EPDM roof
How much is your 5litr
Is this available for very competent diyers? Or an alternative that is?
Sorry no most roofing materials we use are for trade only
Looks great, but where can I buy it? SIG website pretty useless and nobody seems to stock it
It is a SIG product however it's only supplied to registered installers so sorry you cannot buy it
@@SteveRoofer thanks for that. Look s like I'll be using a Cromar product
Hi just wondering what is name of this product and where can I buy it cheers ali.
Its AH25 and you can get it from sheffield insulation
For me there’s no self termination water through all brickwork will find it’s way,you always need to turn into a chase and point,there’s a market for liquid coating’s especially over the dreaded GRP which is a shocker of a system,but for me I’ll stick with mastic asphalt and felt.
Self-termination works if done correctly in the right place. I have to say that the old systems. Felt and mastic asphalt and felt when laid correctly are still the best but unfortunatly are being phased out because of health and safety fire and lack of skilled people doing them, also cost as labour intensive.
@@HampsteadBuildersLt very true but luckily I’m still busy with both,I do like the idea of liquid but I’ve not seen a bullet proof system yet (I’ve not seen that many tbh) that I’ll use along side felt/asphalt 👍🏻
This looks like it would be a good treatment for motor homes....Comments?
Yes lots of people use it I believe
Come back in 10yrs when it's stud the test of time there are many products on the market that purport to do all sorts of things but in reality they don't
Yes in many ways you are right however we try to really build up the liquid well over the specified to make its going to last
What is the system your demonstrating steve ?
Hydrostop AH-25 by SIG (Sheffield Insulation Group)
@@SteveRoofer lol i wondered what sig stood for .nice seeing your vids up again hooe your keeping well
Steve where can I buy this product?
I want it
Why are most rubber roofing systems videos from the UK? and why only the UK has such performing products? US products seem to have a lot of controversy or issues. Please tell me I'm wrong, and that there is indeed a comparable product in the US?
The US lays far more liquid systems that we do and also lays for more single ply than we do by huge amount mainly because there is a larger we have smaller rooms with more details so therefore more problems
where can i buy this at? and whats the name of this?
Unfortunatly this roofing product is trade only so you cant purchase it
Where can I buy a tub if this product as I’ve a leaking junction on a lead valley gutter ?
Unfortunately, unless you are a registered installer you can't buy it, sorry.
Steve Roofer ah that sucks! It’s a long standing problem I have in that the slates also fall off into the gutter and the lead doesn’t lap high enough up behind them to prevent water ingress however it’s just the middle where the joint is in the valley which is where the leaks are coming from. I don’t want to have to take all the slates off to get at the gutter and I’ve tried other products which have failed but this looks perfect.
Steve Roofer I know a roofer so thanks for the post as there’s a branch of SIG nearby .
Supposedly they should not sell it to you without you having an account and being an approved contractor. Supposedly the reasoning behind this is they want to keep the product good name up and don't want it missed used by the general public. I have my suspicions its more because of health and safety and it would have to have different certification if it was open to everybody to use.
Have you tried CT-1 ? Both products are based on alpha-hybrid, silane terminated polyether technology!
Unfortunately its not available to the general public
Hello! Can you please recommend the alternative product suitable for existing fibre glass/grp roof? Regards
Awesome
Super video is pinned
Thanks
Where can I buy this in Canada 🇨🇦 please ?
Sorry don't know
What’s the liquid rubber that you use ???
On this roof, I was using a liquid system called a H 25. However, it's now been taken off the market
Great video dude what is the name of it
Its called Hydrostop AH-25 unfortunately only available to trained installers. It's an amazing material we use on new flat roofs and for flat roof repairs. When we are doing Flat roof condition report we often carry out small roof repairs. We open the bucket and away we go no mixing different materials together use it straight out of the tin
Hi Steve
trying to find more info on Hydrostop, do you know if it's available in Canada?
Thanks
It doesn't seem to stick very well... you just pulled it right off the inside of the bucket.
Plastic bucket isn't corse like OSB and no FG matting
Can I get this in the usa
I don't know but would like to find out. Its a really fantastic product but expensive would love to find another manufacturer
@@SteveRoofer they make a mule hide sealer 5 gal $127'00 and the next best tape is eternal bond tape is a little cheaper
Liquid rubber for building Nepal
dont laugh :), but could I put this on the roof of my Tramper van to cut down the noise of the rain, as it is rubber, it will dampen the sound, the van is a doblo
Yes you could but it would at a lot of weight and cost a lot of money try fitting a vine roof as they did in the good old day
@@SteveRoofer cheers for quick reply Steve, weight no prob, having me rear suspention upgraded in next 2 days, just after a quick and easy way of doing it, vine is to much hard work, I'm old and lazy, :)
My partner got rip off to his roof £20k grand and still massively leaking the fake roofer is hiding and using a fake company name. We don’t know what we should do cuz we can’t afford a new roof. My partner is devastating and got a mental breakdown because of the roof and the guy who rip him off
Thats why I’m here in youtube looking for a solution how we gonna fix the roof leaking
Sorry to hear this, unfortunately, it's extremely common as a roof surveyed I get calls every week telling me the same story and asking what can we do. unfortunately once you have paid its hard to get anything back
@@SteveRoofer Yeah i agree with you. Some people like that are heartless i hope they get karma as soon as possible because my husband is not the only person he scammed.
@@minyura2966 Did you pay cash Min?
@@user-ds2rm9up5t My husband did he doesn’t know that man is scammer a
Lol
It has probably failed by now. Them liquid systems are aload of crap
