Leaks in conservatories can be caused by a number of factors and no matter how much you examine the structure and the materials, it may be impossible to diagnose it yourself, without specific knowledge and experience.

If the leak is easy to spot and seems to be coming from the ridges, it’s likely that the leak is coming from worn sealant and should be easy and fairly inexpensive to fix.

However, if the source of the leak is not visible, or seems to be coming directly from the roof, you may need to consider replacement.

Converting your conservatory to a solid roof is the best way to permanently prevent leaks from occurring.

Polycarbonate, glass, uPVC and aluminium conservatories will always be susceptible to damage and leaks. Even if the leak is easily repaired, due to the quality of these materials, the problem is likely to arise again a few years, months or even weeks down the line.
