You can also go with roofing companies available at each location like Roofing Companies Brighton, Uckfield, Lewes, Bournemouth, etc. Roof Professionals are already aware of this type case so many times.

If you contact any roof professionals then they will tell you the top plans and do it for you also. Actually, they firstly research on “why and then how”. They will give you a permanent solution for any season. So, my advice is firstly to contact the best nearby roof professionals for best outcomes.

  1. Epoxy Grouting

Epoxy grouting is a way to stop the roof dripping; it also required professionals or you can say experts because it will include process wise methods like

  • Detect and clean the all crack surface or if any hole is there. Remove any unwanted oils and dust from there.
  • Contrast the crack part little more just to put grouting in it. Epoxy grouting is used because it is made from epoxy resins and a filler powder, the grout is extremely hard, durable, and nearly stain-proof.  It develops hard bond between the cracks.
  • After putting the grouting cover the whole surface like totally sealed it to prevent the epoxy gel from falling off.

Yes, it is a great way. There are more options you can apply which are mention below.

  1. Waterproofing

Waterproofing is like the making of something waterproof to fight against water. Here we are mainly focused on water problems because the cracks are only noticed by water or in rainy season and cracks developed mainly because of waters.  So they use some water resistance products like they use roof covering materials, siding, foundations, and all of the various penetrations through these surfaces must be water-resistant and sometimes waterproof. It is also done at the timing of loft conversions like Dormer Loft Conversion Brighton, Mansard Loft Conversion, and Hip to gable Loft Conversion.

They also use waterproof membrane systems like felt paper or tar paper with asphalt or tar to make a built-up roof, other bituminous waterproofing, ethylene propylene diene monomer EPDM rubber, Hypalon, polyvinyl chloride, liquid roofing, and more.

  1. Stitching Method

It is also a great way to get rid of roof dripping but it is not might be the permanent solutions. In this, they stitched the start point to the endpoint of the crack area and then they filled it by epoxy gel or non-shrink grout. All it does is sealed the cracked part.

  1. PU Sealant

It is like a treatment which is not for the permanent but can last up to 3-4 years.  In this, they firstly detect the crack part clean it very safely and then they made slight V-groove cut on cracks. And they clean it and put some sealant on your finger and fill it on V-groove cut carefully.

  1. Flexible Acrylic Tape

It required some step-wise process like

  • Clean the crack part with the help of a brush
  • Apply masking tape exactly over the crack
  • Apply Adhesive over the width part
  • Then remove the tape
  • Before adhesive get dry apply the strip on it
  • Again-again apply adhesive on the side part of the strip
