Roger investigates a leaking flat roof and shows why you should never jump to conclusions when tracking down water ingress.

The leak appears inside near one corner, but the source could be travelling from another point on the roof, so the repair starts with a careful inspection of the GRP roof, lead flashing and gully area.

Rather than stripping the whole roof and spending thousands, Roger tries a targeted repair using Stormdry One Coat Liquid Rubber Leak Seal, a moisture-curing, flexible, UV-resistant sealant designed for leaks around roofing, flashing, gutters, roof felt, lead, PVC and fibreglass.


Key Takeaways:

• Don’t assume the visible damp patch is directly below the leak.

• Always inspect the whole roof detail, including flashing, joints, gullies and areas where water can pool.

• A surface-applied liquid rubber repair can be a practical first step if the roof is generally sound.

• Stormdry Leak Seal can be applied to damp or dry surfaces, but standing water, grease and debris need to be removed first.

• The product is designed to self-level, seal, bond and bridge cracks up to 5 mm.

• It is suitable for common roof materials including lead, fibreglass, PVC, roof felt, concrete, brick, slate, aluminium and steel.

• Roger explains why damp internal finishes should be allowed to dry naturally before replastering or redecorating.

• Breathable finishes, lime plaster and basic emulsion can be better than sealing trapped moisture behind gypsum plaster or vinyl paint.
