Manufactured by Thompson's

Thompson’s 10 Year Roof Seal Black is a premium, long-lasting roof coating with exceptional waterproofing and flexible protection.

Why Choose Thompson’s 10 Year Roof Seal Black
This advanced roof sealant outperforms standard bitumen paints by combining fast rain proofing with long-term flexibility. Its UV-resistant black coating maintains appearance and protection in all weather conditions, ensuring roofs stay dry and secure year after year.

Surface Preparation
Start by thoroughly cleaning the roof with a stiff-bristle brush to remove dirt, dust, moss, and loose debris. Repair any structural faults, including lifting felt, cracks, or blisters, and make sure any ponding water is dehydrated. Cut open old blisters for felt roofs and secure the felt with tacks to create a stable, even surface.

Mixing
Before and during application, stir the tin thoroughly to ensure the coating remains smooth and consistent. This helps maintain an even colour and texture throughout the job.

Application Method
Depending on the roof size and access, apply Thompson’s 10 Year Roof Seal using a brush, roller, or soft broom—work in long, smooth strokes, covering the entire area evenly to create a continuous waterproof membrane. A priming coat may be required for optimal adhesion on highly porous surfaces.

Coating & Coverage
Apply the first coat generously to seal all cracks and pores. Allow at least 6 hours of drying before applying a second coat to achieve maximum durability and flexibility. Two full coats are recommended to provide the promised 10-year protection. Coverage is approximately 1–2 m² per litre per coat, depending on surface texture and porosity.

Curing & Weather Considerations
For best results, apply on a dry day when temperatures are above 10°C. Avoid application in damp or freezing conditions as drying times will increase. Once applied, the surface becomes rainproof in 6 hours, offering same-day weather protection.

Clean-Up
Clean all brushes, rollers, and equipment with warm water and mild detergent before the product cures. Dispose of waste responsibly in line with local environmental regulations.

Pro Tips

Work from the roof's highest point downward to prevent stepping on freshly coated areas.
Check weather forecasts to avoid unexpected rainfall during the drying period.
A third light coat may improve long-term performance for heavily weathered or rough surfaces.
