Low Pitch Roof Leaking

It is impossible to answer this question without seeing photos, videos or just being on the spot and conducting an investigation.

He probably applied an acopol/ acrylic liquid sealer. This is a quick short term fix. Shouldn’t have to paint/ seal over things if they’re done correctly. Best to upload images for assessment or get a roofer to inspect and identify where the leak is coming from and remedy this for the long term solution

Personally I would remove the roof and start a fresh ,saving any usefull materials if possible, and starting from scratch. Giving you gaureentee of a sealed roof.regards Aaron of vital roofing solutions.

I get why you’re tempted to just coat it with something, but liquid rubber (or any kind of roof paint/sealer) usually isn’t the right solution for a tiled roof. Here’s why: • Tiles are designed to shed water, not be sealed. If you coat them, water can still find its way underneath through laps or cracks, and then it has no way to evaporate. That can actually make leaks worse or cause frost damage. • Low pitch roofs are tricky. If the pitch is too shallow for the type of tile that was used, water will drive up under the laps. In that case, no amount of sealant will reliably fix it. • The bay window roof may not have proper underfelt or flashing. Often leaks on small roofs like bays are down to flashing against the wall, or the leadwork being too short or split. Best approach: • Get a roofer to check what tiles are on the bay and whether they’re suitable for that pitch. • Inspect the flashing (especially where the bay meets the wall or the main roof) and the underfelt condition. • If the tiles aren’t suitable for the pitch, you may need to swap for something designed for low slope (like a flat interlocking tile or even a different covering, e.g. lead, GRP, or single-ply membrane). Using liquid rubber over tiles will likely just waste money and might even cause you future issues. The fix is more about the right materials and detailing than sealing. Hope this answers your question

Liquid rubber would be a waste of time and money for you as consumer, ideally get a local roofing firm to take a look at the area effected and come up with a complete solution, patching or bodging in terms the roof would only be a temporary measure to see if through till the job is carried out to renew the roofing area.
