(Video) Repair Information

The roof of any conservatory is definitely the most vulnerable part of the structure, susceptible to weather damage as well as damage caused by falling roof tiles. Common problems that are easily repaired include leaks, faulty roof ventilators, misted or broken glass and slipped roofing panels. Most modern conservatory roofs use either polycarbonate or toughened laminate glass installations. These materials are both easily maintained and repaired.

Causes of a Leaking Conservatory Roof

Aside from noticeable damage caused by falling debris there are a couple of other common reasons as to why your conservatory roof might be letting in water:

  • Leaking lead flashing: If your conservatory is tied into the brickwork with lead flashing then there could be the potential for a leak if it is not sealed properly. Common with lean-to conservatories is when rainwater is blown back up the roof and underneath the lead work, the entering the conservatory. It can be fixed quite simply by resealing the void underneath the lead work.
  • Perished roof seals: Even if your glass or polycarbonate roof panels are structurally intact, the seals around them may have perished and could be allowing water to enter. Your panels can be resealed quite easily which will sort the problem, and it's also worth checking the remaining seals to avoid any further call outs in the near future.

These causes of leaks are relatively easy to repair when compared to replacing roof panels, though it is still considered a professional job and a DIY approach is not advised as can be seen below.

Glass Roof Repair

Glass is another popular option for conservatory roofs. Glass roofing is available in a variety of tints, opacities and, can be solar safe with a self-cleaning option. The most common glass conservatory roof repairs Kettletoft result from breakage, due to being struck by debris during storms. Glass is easily repaired but may be more expensive than polycarbonate roofs. Both polycarbonate and glass roofs can have a specialist coating applied to inhibit the growth of algae and moss while providing increased durability insuring the longevity of your roof.

Double Glazed Conservatory Repair

Many conservatories use double glazing on windows to improve insulation and UPVC is one of the most common materials used. UPVC is versatile and long lasting, requiring little to no maintenance. It can, however, be damaged during severe weather or by gouges in the material. UPVC conservatory roof repair Kettletoft is easy and generally inexpensive, maintaining the security and energy efficiency of your conservatory.

Polycarbonate Roof Repair

Polycarbonate roofing is very versatile, light but incredibly strong, and is available in a variety of colours and finishes. South facing conservatories should be fitted with solar protective materials and a heat guard to prevent sun damage on the conservatory roof. Despite the durability of polycarbonate, the pH of rain and domestic cleaning products can cause damage. The UV filter layer is particularly prone to weather damage. Most companies provide regular maintenance packages and discounted repair services for polycarbonate roofs.

Hardwood Roof Repair

Hardwood conservatories are very traditional and can be both aesthetically pleasing and durable. Hardwood conservatory roofs are naturally weather resistant, and are not generally prone to leaks. Regular maintenance is required, however, to protect the wood from insect infestation, mould growth and rot. New microporous satin and paint finishes help keep hardwood maintenance to a minimum. Should hardwood roofing become waterlogged, individual panels and beams can be replaced without the need for complete roof replacement.

Dealing with Rotting Wooden Roofing

Wooden conservatories are incredibly popular, and in most cases, they stand up rather well to inclement weather. However, when wooden conservatories and conservatory roofs are not properly maintained, the wood panels can rot. If you’ve noticed rot on your conservatory roof, it’s important to contact a professional right away. A professional can examine your conservatory roof for damage, replace any rotting panels, and provide a weatherproofing treatment that will help protect the wood. You should also consider scheduling regular maintenance to prevent future rotting. Talk to your contractor about these services.

Whether to Repair or Replace a Conservatory Roof

Although many conservatory roof repairs near me are quite simple in nature, there may come a time when replacement is the better choice. Consider all the following:

  • The age of your conservatory roof. Is your conservatory roof at the end of its expected lifespan? If this is the case, you should talk to your contractor about potentially replacing the roof instead of repairing it.
  • Your roof’s condition. A conservatory roof that is in less-than-optimal condition could be more difficult and expensive to repair. In this case, you should consider replacing the roof instead, especially if it’s an older roof.
  • The extent of the repairs. If your conservatory roof is significantly damaged, it’s worth talking to your contractor about the replacement option. Sometimes, the repairs are more labor-intensive than a complete replacement.
  • Your insurance coverage. Your homeowners’ insurance policy can also provide some direction. It may cover a replacement every so often, or it may fully cover the cost of even an extensive repair. Read your policy carefully and use the information to help you make your choice.

Always Hire Experienced Kettletoft Roofers

Unlike other roofing structures, several conservatories are constructed with glass roof panels. This means that their structure is quite fragile. As a result, it is crucial to ensure that you only hire experienced, qualified and insured contractors to perform any type of work on them.

Experienced Orkney Islands roofers will be able to ensure that all work done on your roof is in accordance with safety and building industry codes and standards as well. Once repair work or replacement of glass panels on your conservatory has been completed, you will once again be able to enjoy spending time in the sun throughout the year.

The Dangers of DIY

Conservatories are specialised units, requiring professional expertise when maintaining and repairing even the slightest damages. Working with glass can be dangerous and a fall through a glass panel could result in serious injury. Shoddy polycarbonate and hardwood repairs could end up costing you more in the long run. Why risk DIY when the professionals are standing by?

Your Kettletoft conservatory roof repair questions answered

In our experience conservatory roofs are damaged by storms or falling objects more often than any other reason.

This depends on the extent of the damage; however, most repairs can be done in only a few hours' time.

Minor repairs can be handled as a do-it-yourself job but in general, roof repairs should be handled by a professional. The job will be done quickly and correctly, and it lowers the risk that an error or problem will come up.

Conservatory roofs can be difficult to repair and may require full replacement. Replacing your entire conservatory roof will start at around £1,000 and any repairs that can be affected will be less than that.

No, as it may be possible to replace your existing panels with more lightweight polycarbonate ones. These panels insulate better against the heat and cold, and also tend to be less expensive than traditional glass.

Yes, if your roof is structurally sound and there is no obvious damage then it is likely that a seal has gone and is letting in the water. A specialist will be able to reseal the panel for you preventing any more water ingress. They should also check the other seals for signs of perishing.

There are several different materials that are commonly used in conservatory roofs. These include traditional glass, double-glazed glass, polycarbonate, and hardwood. Of course, other materials can be used on conservatories, as well, but most roofers are familiar with these four main types. Repair costs will vary based on the materials, too; polycarbonate and hardwood are often more expensive to repair than traditional glass or double-glazed glass.

The decision to switch from glass to polycarbonate conservatory panels can be a difficult one to make, so you should understand the benefits. Polycarbonate is incredibly durable, and today’s manufacturing processes allow for the addition of UVA and UVB protection, too. However, even tempered glass panels can break and crack when stricken with debris. Be sure to talk to your contractor about your options.

In some cases, it may be necessary to completely rebuild a conservatory, including a new roof. This occurs when the conservatory roof isn’t properly maintained, which can allow water to penetrate the entire structure. As such, if you’ve noticed significant rotting or mould inside or outside your conservatory, be sure to talk to your contractor about your options.

Are there puddles of water on the floor after it has rained? Does your conservatory feel more draughty than usual? These could be indications that damage has occurred to either the glass panels or the seals used to keep them in place. If you are experiencing the above-mentioned scenarios, it is recommended that you fill out our form to be put in touch with reliable companies.

Chances are that any leaks that are present will worsen over time. This will not only cause extensive damage to the indoor area; it could even damage foundations resulting in the entire conservatory having to be rebuilt - which will be an expensive project.

These days, glass is not the only option to use on a roof. Other options include polycarbonate sheeting and even wood. While a solid roof may be one of the more durable options, a glass roof will enable you to take advantage of as much sunlight as possible.
