How to instantly seal a leaking roof

Eliminate the cost and time of repairing a leak on a flat or pitched roof with Polar Premium Leak Seal Paint.

A leaking roof can lead to substantial external and internal damage to a property if left untreated. However, replacing the roof can be costly, and the time waiting to get the leak fixed leaves it open to additional weathering damage. To help overcome this issue quickly and effectively, we advise you use Polar Premium Leak Seal Paint - for instant protection, that lasts.  

 

Getting prepared for the cooler months 

Ensuring your roof is repaired, particularly as we come into Autumn and Winter is a must. Leaking roofs can not only be aesthetically displeasing but can cause significant damage to the structure of rafters, ceiling joists, wall frames and fascia boards. Polar’s hard-wearing, waterproof formula, has been specially developed to stop water intrusion on industrial or commercial properties, and is suitable for use on the following surfaces: 

  • Concrete 
  • Asphalt 
  • Bitumen 
  • Brick 
  • Felt 
  • Fibreglass 
  • Metal 
  • GRP 
  • Asbestos 

 

How does Polar Waterproof Leak Seal work?

Polar Leak Seal Paint works by forming a waterproof membrane, specially formulated with reinforced fibres that interlace to give tough, durable and instant protection so that once applied, the surface is protected from dampness and water ingress.  

 

How to apply Leak Seal Paint  

Polar Leak Seal is easy and quick to apply and doesn’t require a primer, making it the perfect DIY solution. To apply, simply use a brush or roller to paint the affected surface area of the roof, drain pipe, or gutter. No primer is required, but please ensure the surface area is clear of moss and debris and remove any surface water, oil, or grease beforehand. 

Available in black, grey, and clear, to enable a discrete repair job, that doesn’t compromise the look of the exterior surface. With long-lasting protection to cracked or leaked surfaces, once completely dried and cured you can be sure that Polar Leak Seal has securely repaired your roof.
