REPAIRING YOUR CONSERVATORY ROOF

What's not to like about a conservatory - these bright, light-filled structures can be wonderful additions to any style of home. But time can take its toll on these glass structures, turning a oncewarm and sunny space into a leaky liability. Without proper maintenance and care, problems can easily arise with the roof structure, leading to compromised thermal efficiency and leaks.

If left untreated, these issues can also become dangerous, and may necessitate the need to completely replace your conservatory roof. If your conservatory roof suffers from leaking or other problems, don't panic although certain problems are best left to the professionals, in most cases, there are measures you can take yourself. Here, we take a look at the most common issues faced by conservatory owners and how you can put them right.

COMMON REASONS FOR ROOF REPAIRS

There are several reasons you might feel the time has come to carry out repairs to your conservatory roof. Perhaps a problem has become apparent due to a leak, or maybe you noticed an obvious issue when making some routine maintenance checks or even while you were clearing the gutters.

Sometimes just general wear and tear will result in repairs needing to be carried out, while storms, extreme weather conditions, tiles slipping from the roof of a house, errant footballs and even ground movement can all be the cause of damage.

"Often, repairing a conservatory roof is a relatively easy and inexpensive task to undertake, but it's important to get to the root cause and fix the issue before it results in further issues, such as condensation in conservatories, more damage or - in the worst-case scenario complete repla says Homebuilding & Renovating's editor, Claire Lloyd.
