Roof Repair Supplies

Flat roof leaks rarely resolve themselves and almost always worsen over time, transforming minor maintenance issues into costly structural repairs that damage ceilings, insulation, and building fabric. QBM supplies a comprehensive range of repair materials that professional roofing contractors across Ireland rely on to address leaks quickly and permanently, from emergency patch repairs that stop water ingress immediately through to systematic refurbishment solutions that extend roof life by decades. 

Our stock includes proven EPDM patch materials, liquid waterproofing systems ideal for complex details and awkward geometries, reinforced flashing tapes for vulnerable upstands and penetrations, and complete overlay systems that provide cost-effective alternatives to wholesale roof replacement. Whether your contractor is addressing a localised puncture, repairing failed flashings, or upgrading an entire ageing roof surface, we supply the materials and technical guidance that ensure repairs deliver lasting protection.

The most effective repair approach depends fundamentally on understanding the root cause of leaks, the condition of existing materials, and whether repairs represent a temporary fix or a long-term solution. QBM's technical team can help contractors evaluate repair options, from simple patch repairs using Elevate RubberCover EPDM for small punctures and tears, through to comprehensive liquid applied systems like Ultraflex or Mariseal Detail that can reinstate watertight integrity across entire roof surfaces without removing existing coverings. 

Liquid waterproofing systems offer particular advantages for repair applications, conforming perfectly to complex details around penetrations, drainage outlets, and movement joints where traditional patch materials struggle to achieve reliable bonds. These systems cure to form seamless, flexible membranes that accommodate structural movement and thermal cycling whilst providing UV resistance and durability comparable to new roof installations.

Material compatibility represents a critical consideration often overlooked during emergency repairs, leading to short-term fixes that fail prematurely and waste both materials and labour. Different existing roof coverings require specific repair materials and surface preparation protocols to achieve reliable long-term adhesion. 

EPDM repairs demand EPDM-compatible primers and adhesives, bitumen surfaces require appropriate bonding agents or torch application techniques, and aged, weathered membranes often need surface preparation to remove contamination before repair materials will bond effectively. QBM supplies complete repair systems, including surface cleaners, primers, reinforcement fabrics, and finish coatings, ensuring contractors have every component needed to execute repairs that maintain warranty compliance and deliver the performance clients expect.

The decision between repair and replacement hinges on roof age, extent of deterioration, and building owner objectives for service life extension. Minor localised damage on relatively young roofs justifies straightforward patch repairs that restore integrity at minimal cost. More extensive damage or systematic deterioration across aged roof surfaces often makes liquid-applied overlay systems the most cost-effective solution, providing 15-20 years of additional service life at a fraction of complete replacement costs. 

QBM's range includes repair solutions for every scenario, from emergency leak stoppage materials that work even in wet conditions through to comprehensive refurbishment systems that transform failing roofs into high-performance assemblies meeting current thermal and weatherproofing standards.
