Modern conservatories are comprised of multiple lightweight sections connected with rubber seals or silicone sealant which if installed incorrectly or aged are prone to leaking.
Conservatory roofs are made up of either glass or polycarbonate glazing panels, lightweight aluminium frames and roof vents which are all connected to form one solid, lightweight structure.
Conservatories become vulnerable to wear and tear over the years mainly due to the weather causing materials to warp, split and crack – The most common source of conservatory leaks originate from the roof structure.
A common point of water ingress is where the conservatory is attached to the brickwork of the main house. There are a few points here prone to failure, incorrectly installed or cracked lead flashing, failing sealant, incorrectly installed or loose ridge caps are the first place to check.
Climbing on a conservatory is dangerous and you should only attempt this if you are competent and have the right access equipment for the job, if you do not or you are in any doubt, call in the professionals.
