[wicroupallise-4194]

I need to put new roof as they are so many issues with current one. Can we do this during winter? Which kind of roof (warm deck/cold deck) is less risky in winter?I am more interested in warm deck. If i want to do warm deck What precautions i need to take?

Notify Building Control.
Make sure you can isolate the electrics.
Buy some tarps.

What do all the roofers do between 22 Dec and 21 March every year?

That's a better job than teachers have!

You should have a look at any housing estate being built,they don’t give a f**k how much they get soaked

your challenges are:

1) getting loads of rainwater trapped in the insulation layer and sits on the VCL

2) getting the waterproof layer on - GRP has to be dry, EPDM needs to be dry whilst gluing.

3) if you use a temp cover, getting it watertight and avoiding water pooling

get a competent company to do it.

FWIW we often work in the rain , my rule is if it runs around your balls its time to go home..

I'm not a fan of going to work with the wind-screen wipers on. But if needs must...
