What this covers

A water repellent does not repair a roof: it stops water getting into a porous material. On a concrete tile or a tired fibre cement slate it cuts water absorption and clearly slows the return of moss. Applied badly — on a damp surface, in a single coat, or on a material that did not need it — it does not last three years. That is exactly what explains the contradictory opinions on the subject.

  • Diagnosis of the surface: not every material can be treated
  • Complete cleaning and drying required before application
  • Clear water repellent, or coloured to even out a mismatched covering
  • Two crossed coats, to saturation, from the ridge down to the eaves
  • Microporous product: the surface breathes, the water no longer gets in
  • Planting, joinery and surroundings protected

Two crossed coats on a clean, dry surface, or nothing at all

Water-repellent treatment & coating — workmanship detail

On site

Seen up close

A roof is judged on its details: the junctions, the overlaps, the penetrations. This is the point of workmanship that, on this service, makes the difference between a roof that lasts ten years and one that lasts thirty.

Common questions

Water-repellent treatment & coating

A question that is not on the list? Ask it over the phone, the answer is free too.

Applied properly on a clean, dry surface, allow eight to ten years on a roof and five to eight years on a facade exposed to westerly rain. The first sign of wear is easy to spot: the water no longer beads, it spreads out and darkens the material.
