Repairing damage to roofing using PermaRoof Emergency Roof Repair

Safety first!

If you suspect that the damage to the roofing may be serious, do not make any attempt to access the roof deck. Only do so if it is safe. If you are in any doubt, call in a professional straightaway to assess the roofing, the repair and the structural integrity of the building.

Step 1

Remove the lid from the Permaroof Emergency Roof Repair product and mix thoroughly for several minutes, or until the product is fully blended. Using a stirrer attachment on an electric drill is ideal.

Step 2

Prepare the damaged area by ensuring that any cracks are clear of dirt and debris. If necessary, cut away any loose material and scrape out any cracks using a suitable tool. Take care not to cause further damage to the roof deck below, but ensure the area is completely cleared.

Step 3

Brush away the loose surface dirt and debris, making sure that the area to be treated is completely clear. 
Once the surface is completely clear of debris and dust, you are now ready to apply the PermaRoof Emergency Roof Repair product. 

Step 4

Using a suitable brush, generously apply the Emergency Roof Repair product to the affected area. Use the brush to work the product deep into any cracks, taking care not to create air pockets. Make sure the coverage is even and completely covers the damage.

Step 5

Pay special attention to apply the product around any extrusions in the damaged area to ensure a completely watertight seal.

Step 6

Replace the lid of the Emergency Roof Repair product and secure it down tightly. And you're done.
