Roof Waterproofing &
Asbestos Encapsulation
Ireland
VIPEQ MAP is a seamless spray-applied rubber waterproofing system for flat roofs, felt roofs, industrial roofs and asbestos cement — stopping leaks, preventing deterioration and extending roof life across Ireland.
What Is VIPEQ MAP Roof Waterproofing?
VIPEQ MAP is a high-performance, cold spray-applied waterproofing system made from recycled rubber. It is applied in layers directly over existing roof surfaces — bonding fully to create a continuous, seamless membrane with no joints, laps or weak points.
Unlike traditional roofing systems, VIPEQ MAP requires no hot works, no full strip-out and no structural alteration. It adapts to any roof shape, seals complex details and penetrations, and provides certified waterproof protection — typically in a fraction of the time and cost of replacement.
Is Your Roof Leaking, Deteriorating or at Risk?
Ireland's heavy rainfall, wind-driven rain and ageing building stock create persistent roof problems. VIPEQ MAP waterproofing is designed to address these issues without costly replacement works.
Active Leaks
Water entering through cracks, failed joints, penetrations or ageing membranes — causing damage to structure, insulation and contents below.
Pooling & Standing Water
Flat roofs with poor drainage accumulate standing water that accelerates membrane breakdown and increases the risk of structural loading and ingress.
Deteriorating Membranes
Felt, bitumen and older waterproof coatings degrade over time — cracking, blistering and losing adhesion — leaving the roof structure exposed.
Failing Asbestos Cement
Asbestos cement roofing becomes brittle with age, developing cracks and holes that allow water in while raising the risk of fibre release.
Joint & Overlap Failures
Lapped metal roofing, flashing details and penetrations are the most common failure points — where movement, corrosion and weathering cause gaps.
Costly Full Replacement
Full roof strip-out and replacement is expensive, disruptive and time-consuming — often unnecessary when the roof structure is still sound.
Asbestos Roof Encapsulation — A Safe, Cost-Effective Alternative to Removal
Thousands of agricultural, industrial and commercial buildings across Ireland still have asbestos cement roofing. As these roofs age and deteriorate, they become a water ingress risk — and a potential health concern if the material is disturbed.
VIPEQ MAP provides a proven asbestos encapsulation solution — the seamless rubber coating is applied over the existing asbestos cement, sealing the surface, preventing fibre release, restoring waterproofing and significantly extending the roof's usable life — all without the significant cost and disruption of full asbestos removal.
All asbestos encapsulation works should be carried out by trained and certified applicators. Contact us to discuss your specific project.
Roof Waterproofing for Every Building Type in Ireland
VIPEQ MAP roof coating Ireland is used across domestic, agricultural, commercial and industrial buildings — anywhere a leaking or deteriorating roof needs cost-effective, long-lasting protection.
Flat & Felt Roofs
Flat roofs and ageing felt systems are among the most common sources of water ingress in Irish homes. VIPEQ MAP creates a seamless, jointless membrane over the entire surface — eliminating the weak points where felt systems typically fail.
Asbestos Cement Roofs
Asbestos cement roofs on sheds, barns, factories and older industrial buildings can be safely encapsulated with VIPEQ MAP — sealing the surface without the significant cost and health risk of removal.
Industrial & Commercial Roofs
Large roof areas on warehouses, factories, retail units and schools can be treated quickly with spray application — waterproofing thousands of square metres with minimal disruption.
Domestic Extensions & Garages
Leaking extensions, garage roofs and outbuildings are a common source of frustration. VIPEQ MAP provides a durable, cost-effective solution without the disruption of a full roof strip-out.
Metal Roofs
Metal roofing expands and contracts with temperature changes, causing joints and overlaps to open over time. VIPEQ MAP bonds fully across the entire surface, sealing laps and preventing further corrosion.
Agricultural Buildings
Farm sheds, barns and storage buildings across Ireland face ongoing exposure to heavy rainfall and wind. VIPEQ MAP provides long-term weatherproofing without the disruption of structural works.

Structural Repairs
Any necessary repairs to the roof substrate are carried out before coating begins.
Spray Application
VIPEQ MAP applied in cold-spray layers to achieve full coverage and the specified membrane thickness.
Seamless Result
Continuous waterproof membrane — no joints, no laps, no weak points. Certified waterproof protection.
What Our Customers Say
"Had a large shed with an old asbestos cement roof that was starting to let in water. VIPEQ MAP was applied and it's been completely dry ever since. Saved a fortune compared to a full roof replacement."
Seamus Fitzpatrick
Farmer — Tipperary
"Flat roof on a retail unit was failing after 15 years. Two contractors quoted for full replacement — then we found VIPEQ MAP. Cost less than half, done in two days, and no leaks in two winters since."
Pat Connolly
Commercial Property Owner — Kildare
"The flat roof on our extension had been leaking every winter. We had it patched three times. VIPEQ MAP sealed it completely — one application, seamless, and no issues since."
Niamh Doyle
Homeowner — Wexford
