Not to be applied if there's a threat of rain or temperatures below 12°C. Apply to test area first, mix container before use.

Q: Would it still work if there is no felt
A: The roof sealer will only make the surface of the roof tiles water resistant. If there are any cracks in the roof tiles or gaps that allow water through, any roof felt that may be missing could exacerbate this issue.
Q: You give the coverage, is that per coat or for both ?
A: Coverage rates would vary due to age, type and porosity of roof tile. Average coverage would be 4m2 first coat and 6m2 second coat (higher on slate and clay tiles) Hope that helps.
Q: Can you please advise the coverage/litre? Thanks.
A: Average coverage of the roof sealer is 4 m2 per litre. This would vary in relation to the age, type and porosity of the roof tile it is being applied to. Hope that helps.
We continue with this major restoration of a 2000+ roman tile roof and the sealer has come up as good as the cleaner. Water runs off in beads rather than soaking the old tiles. The roof is pink instead of grey. This is a DIY job being undertaken by a couple of 75 year old, very able retirees. The kit will cost about 800 as opposed to quotes in excess of 20,000 and has put new life into a 1966 roof.
Carefully cleaned clay double Roman tiles and sprayed on sealant. Two coats as recommended. Really too early to say if its effective. Had some rain but havent noticed any change to tiles. What is clear is its very expensive. Spraying my whole bungalow will probably cost best part of 800. However, if it prolongs the life of the tiles all good - although I suspect Ill need to recoat every year or so! Time will tell.
Excellent good quality roof sealer and excellent good fast delivery service will use again
