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.
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
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!
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
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 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?
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
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 👍🏻
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?
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
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.
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 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. 👍
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
@@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, :)
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
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.
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.
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.
@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
