If using a decent felt with modified bitumen, no problem. However normal cheap felt is brittle at today'slow temperatures, and if using cold bitumen adhesive that'll be slow to cure.

Yep, I had to re-roof the shed a few years ago in wind and sleet, wasn't at all pleasant.
It never seems a job worth doing in the summer does it?
Please don't. Usenet is a plain text medium.
Oh, it only blew off last week. I haven't got time to do it, which is why I "got a man in". The fact it's snowing only adds to my pleasure.
This is one really good thing if you have blueyonder... the news-text.blueyonder.co.uk server automatically removes all non-text posts.

Deep joy.

It was the winter bad weather that blew most of the roof off and meant it needed recovering ASAP to stop the contents being drowned.

I hope you offered the chaps a nice hot mug of tea.
Hmm, the chaps who installed my dbl glazing could drink some tea !
Still, 7 windows installed in half a day by a 4 man team was pretty impressive work.
Hope they stay in for the warranty period !
Cheers,
Paul.
