Using Self Levelling Polymer Compound to Repair Fibreglass Roofs UK
Self Levelling compounds are growing rapidly in popularity for people looking to repair flat roofs, whether Porta Cabins, garages, industrial premises, extensions, terraces or balconies. Any roofing surface develops problems after a while (some quicker than others!) ranging from cracking, leaking and lifting to theft-risk (metal roofs) or just lack of long-term weather protection. Fibreglass, for example, has a well-known tendency to develop "pinholes" which can admit water and compromise the entire roof.
There are a lot of supposedly "quick fixes" for this on the internet, which often involve extensive amounts of sanding, filling, recoating, resanding and so on. These fixes can be undertaken by a skilled DIYer with sufficient time, know-how and the correct tools. However, it can be a challenge as mixing the resin or topcoats too thinly OR too thickly can result in the same water-ingress problems developing again, often very quickly. Patchy application can also be an issue, as can not enough time for full "curing" because of good ol' changeable UK weather!
A good, self-levelling polymer compound will resolve most of these problems relatively simply, removing the need for sanding (etc), and curing exceptionally quickly - it is fully waterproof & weatherproof within the hour, can be walked on after 6 hours, and is fully mechanically cured after 3 days. We can also mix in different components - such as pigmented quartz or carefully designed additives that accurately mimic the look of lead or aged copper roofing (see our copper alternative and lead alternative drop down menus in the top nav)
