How to Fix a Roof Leak (from the inside) - This is a slate roof with no underlay.

Fixing a roof leak can be a pain. But what if you can fix the leak from the inside? Please note, this will not fix gaping great holes, or missing tiles, (it may provide a temporary repair). But it will fix leaks caused by cracks, small holes, or windblown rain. This video shows you how to fix a roof leak from the inside. This is a much cheaper, easier and safer method and explains how you can fix small leaks… Note: This is a slate roof with no underlay, but you can probably fix other types of roof coverings too.

Thank you for your support. Carry out a Leaking Roof Repair from the Inside: Notes: Do not try to fill every gap. The roof is meant to breathe and be able to expand and contract. Sticking everything together may cause further issues later on. I.e. Only repair the leak. Don’t use expanding foam. This may expand far more than needed and could cause issues later on. If the leak is behind a large beam or covering, you may not be able to gain access to do the repair. If a slate or roof tile is missing, this should only be used as a temporary repair. Replacing the slate or roof tile is probably a better long term repair. Tasks: 1. Identify where the leak enters through the roof. 2. Read the safety instructions on the polyurethane glue container. Wear the appropriate safety equipment. 3. Once identified, clean the area to get rid of debris, cobwebs & dust. This will ensure a good bond with the Polyurethane. Note: Polyurethane glue can be used when the surface is wet. 4. Dependant on the access available, squeeze the polyurethane into the hole or crack. If this is not possible, use a piece of wood, or stiff cardboard as a makeshift spatula to work the polyurethane into the hole or crack. 5. Gravity will want to let the polyurethane fall or run out of the crack. Don’t let it fall out. Keep working it back into the hole. 6. Polyurethane expands, (a bit like expanding foam) over time. 15 to 20 minutes later, the polyurethane will start to harden and expand slightly. Note: You can get faster curing Polyurethane glue. 7. Eventually, the hole or crack will become blocked and you will no longer have to work the polyurethane into the hole. As long as the hole is fully covered, the hole in the roof should be sealed.
