Rubber Roof Coatings — Ireland
Rubber Roof Coating
for Irish Conditions
VIPEQ MAP is made from recycled rubber — a spray-applied eco-friendly waterproof coating that protects and extends the life of roofs across Ireland. Seamless, no joints, and a sustainable alternative to full roof replacement.
VIPEQ MAP — A Modern Alternative to Full Roof Replacement
Roofs in Ireland are constantly exposed to heavy rain, wind and weathering. Over time, this leads to leaks, cracked membranes and costly repair bills. VIPEQ MAP offers a modern, eco-friendly alternative — a spray-applied system made from recycled rubber that creates a seamless waterproof barrier, protecting roofs and extending their lifespan without the waste of full replacement.
Made from Recycled Rubber — Sustainable Waterproofing
VIPEQ MAP is formulated from recycled rubber particles, making it one of the most environmentally responsible waterproofing systems available. Extending the life of an existing roof is always more sustainable than replacing it — and VIPEQ MAP makes that possible.
Recycled Rubber Formulation
VIPEQ MAP is manufactured using recycled rubber particles — diverting waste material from landfill and giving it a second life as a high-performance waterproofing system.
Extends Existing Roof Life
By coating over existing roofs instead of replacing them, VIPEQ MAP dramatically reduces the construction waste and embodied carbon associated with full roof replacement.
Lower Carbon Footprint
Spray application over existing substrates means less material consumption, less waste, and a smaller environmental impact compared to traditional roofing systems.
Eco Fact: Choosing to coat and restore a roof rather than replace it keeps tonnes of existing material out of landfill and avoids the energy-intensive manufacture and transport of new roofing products.
VIPEQ MAP — Encapsulating Asbestos Roofs Safely
VIPEQ MAP is widely used to encapsulate and protect asbestos cement roofs without disturbing the material. By sealing the surface with a continuous rubber membrane, it avoids the significant cost and disruption of asbestos removal while extending the roof's usable life.
Ideal for: agricultural sheds, industrial units, old factories, farm buildings and garages with asbestos cement roofing.
Where VIPEQ MAP Is Used in Ireland
Asbestos Roof Encapsulation
Encapsulates and seals asbestos cement roofs without disturbing the material — avoiding costly removal and extending roof life. Widely used on agricultural and industrial buildings.
Leaking Roofs
Creates a fully waterproof membrane that seals cracks, joints, weak points and penetrations — ideal for active leaks and recurring problem areas.
Flat Roof Waterproofing
Seamless coating for felt, concrete and existing membrane flat roofs — no joints to fail, full surface protection. Common on extensions, garages and commercial units.
Commercial & Industrial Roofs
Rapid application over large roof areas with minimal disruption. Cost-effective alternative to full replacement on warehouses, factories, retail units and schools.
Agricultural Buildings
Farm sheds, barns and storage buildings benefit from long-lasting protection against Ireland's heavy rainfall and weathering, without costly strip-out.
Metal Roofs
Seals joints and overlaps on metal roofs that expand and contract. Prevents corrosion progression and adds a protective waterproof layer over the entire surface.
Gutters & Roof Details
Used on gutters, valleys, joints, flashings and penetrations — sealing the problem areas that cause most roof failures.
Domestic Roofs
Homeowners with ageing or leaking roofs can avoid full replacement with a seamless waterproof coating that protects and extends the existing structure.
A Coating Built Specifically for Roof Surfaces
VIPEQ MAP is a spray-applied coating designed specifically for roof surfaces. It forms a seamless, durable membrane that protects against water ingress while also providing a textured, non-slip finish in designated walkway areas.
Suitable for
VIPEQ MAP is applied directly onto prepared areas, creating a continuous coating without joints or fixings — ideal for maintenance access routes and high-traffic zones on commercial roofs.

Built for Ireland's Rain, Wind and Ageing Roof Stock
Ireland's high rainfall, wind-driven rain and large stock of older agricultural, industrial and domestic roofs create a clear need for a practical, proven waterproofing system. VIPEQ MAP provides a cost-effective, fast-application alternative to full roof replacement — particularly relevant as cost pressures on building owners continue to increase.
Who Uses VIPEQ MAP?
Common Problems We Help Solve
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."
