Sealing & Repairing Roofs and Gutters

Key Takeaways: 

  • Roofs and gutters face extreme weather conditions, so maintaining a watertight seal is essential for preventing costly damage.
  • Soudal’s waterproof remedial coatings and hybrid sealants offer instant, long-lasting protection, even on wet surfaces.
  • Fibre-reinforced formulations bridge cracks and gaps for extra strength and flexibility.
  • Suitable for a wide range of materials, from metal and timber to bitumen and concrete, ensuring reliable adhesion and weatherproofing. 

Protective Waterproof Coatings for Weathertightness 

Roofs and gutters take a beating from the elements, heavy rain, UV exposure, and constant temperature changes all contribute to wear and tear over time. Cracks, leaks, and loose joints can lead to serious water ingress issues if not properly maintained.  

Soudal’s range of liquid waterproof coatings, silicones, and hybrid sealants delivers professional performance with ease of use. These products can be applied on wet or dry surfaces, creating an instant waterproof barrier that’s fully elastic when cured. Fibre-reinforced technology helps bridge cracks and gaps, ensuring a tough, flexible finish that can move with the substrate without cracking or peeling. 

Suitable for application on concrete, cement plaster, bituminous membranes, metal roofs, timber boards, and plastics, these systems provide broad compatibility and strong adhesion. They are cold-applied, so there’s no need for heating or mixing, making them safe and simple to use on-site. For larger penetrations or voids, pairing with Soudafoam before applying the waterproof layer ensures a seamless, airtight seal. 

Soudal’s waterproofing solutions include Gorilla WaterStop Repair, Pureseal R & G, Soudal R & G, and Gorilla MS Sealant, each engineered for durability, UV resistance, and long-term weathertightness in demanding environments. Together, they offer a complete system for sealing and protecting roofs, gutters, and other exposed surfaces in both residential and commercial projects.
