Roof issues don’t always wait for sunny days. Whether it’s heavy rain, high winds, or frost, bad weather can worsen existing damage fast. So what happens when you need urgent roof repairs during poor conditions?
At Back to Back Roofing, we provide both emergency and planned roofing services across Worcester – and yes, we can often carry out repairs even in bad weather.
Temporary vs. Permanent Roof Repairs
- Temporary Repairs: In heavy rain or storm conditions, we may apply waterproof coverings or sealants to prevent further leaks until the weather improves.
- Permanent Repairs: These are ideally done in dry conditions to ensure materials bond correctly and safety is maintained.
Our Safety-First Approach
We take all precautions seriously. Our team will assess the weather, the structure, and the urgency of your repair. If safe to proceed, we’ll act fast. If not, we’ll apply a temporary fix and schedule a return as soon as the weather allows.
