Here are just some of the best products on the market for waterproofing:

Masonry Solutions: 

Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream:

Stormdry is a deeply penetrating water-repellent cream for the protection of masonry. The thick, white cream is ready to use and applied by brush, roller or airless spray. It penetrates into brickwork, masonry, mortar and concrete, where it will cure to a colourless, natural finish.

Mathys Murfill Waterproofing:

Mathys Murfill Waterproofing offers long-lasting elastic, aesthetic and waterproof wall protection. It produces a crack bridging and waterproofing façade coating with a microporous structure, ensuring that the base is constantly able to breathe. Ready for use and simple to apply on any façade.  It is 400% elastic which is waterproof and water vapour permeable. It provides excellent resistance against ageing in normal and industrial environments whilst protecting reinforced concrete against carbonisation and corrosion. 

Roof solutions:

Bedec Super-flex:

Bedec Super-Flex is a flexible elastomeric coating easily applied by brush, roller or spray. It forms a high build and seamless waterproof coating which economically prevents or cures all types of roofs, gutters and walls. Super-Flex remains flexible and elastic, allowing for movement of the substrate, forming a long-life protective coating. Super-Flex is suitable for application to almost any surface including roofing tiles, slate, brick, concrete, corrugated iron, asbestos, asphalt, felt, copper, zinc, lead, PVC or polycarbonate roof sheets, plus most plastics and timber.

Metal Solutions:

Rust-Oleum Noxyde Plus:

Rust-Oleum Noxyde Plus is a single pack, water-based elastomeric coating based on a silane modified acrylic binder with superior adhesion and corrosion protection. The product contains anti-corrosion pigments and is lead, chromate and zinc free. It can be used on iron, steel, special alloys, galvanised and metallised iron and steel, aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, etc. as rust prevention or waterproofing. It can also be used on interior or exterior substrates.

Swimming Pool Solutions:

Teamac Chlorvar:

Teamac Chlorvar chlorinated rubber or Coo-Car Swimming Pool Paint can be applied to external and internal surfaces. The final coat must be allowed to cure for 14 days before water contact. If chlorinated rubber comes into water contact too soon, the coating will absorb water like a sponge and will blister and fail. Chlorinated rubber isn't compatible with any other coating type as the solvent in chlorinated rubber is very aggressive and will attack other coatings, leading to complete product failure.

You can also find water-resistant decorative solutions from Zinsser, Dulux Trade, Sandtex Trade, Johnstone’s Trade, Thompsons and Ronseal
