Preparation
Before starting the application, prepare the surface to ensure you achieve optimal results. Start by clearing any contaminants present including dirt, dust, grease, organic growth, debris, etc. To achieve this, a stiff brush work well alongside a fungicide to remove the any organic growth. Any rust on the surface must be treated using a rust inhibitive primer. Alongside that, bituminous, porous and friable surfaces, will require a priming as well. Any damages to the roof, including it's structural integrity must be fixed so it's sound, stable and suitable for repairing. This includes any damaged tiles, slates, sheets or other form of covering, if it's gone beyond repair, replace it.
