When looking to help weatherproof your roof, the application of roofing sealant is a must. Roofing sealants are a type of adhesive that is applied to the surface of a roof to create a waterproof seal, giving you peace of mind that no nasty surprises are due when the rain starts to fall. The main purpose of using a roofing sealant is to prevent leaks and water damage by sealing gaps and cracks in the roof’s surface giving you a water tight finish.

Smooth out the sealant: Use a tool or your finger to smooth out the sealant and ensure that it is evenly distributed.
Allow the sealant to dry: The drying time for roofing sealant will vary depending on the type of sealant and the weather conditions.
Roofing adhesives work by creating a bond between the roofing materials. They are normally applied in a liquid form that dries to form a strong, durable bond. Each adhesive has different properties and bond strengths – so make sure you check if you have the right adhesive for the job.
With the right adhesive, you can create a secure, waterproof, and long-lasting bond between your roofing materials for a leak-proof and durable roof.
There are lots of types of roofing adhesives available on the market, including:
Asphalt-based adhesives: The most common type of roofing adhesive in the UK and is typically used to bond asphalt shingles or roll roofing.
