New conservatory roof leaking.

Repair tape maybe your best best if you ve seen that the cause of the leak is a physical hole to your plastic conservatory roof. Conservatories are naturally cold and badly insulated but you could probably have a kingspan rigid foam board with a plasterboard bonded surface. Some roof leaks are tough to locate. The leaking conservatory roof may be due to a faulty installation or product if the conservatory is new or perhaps the glazing has moved over time.

During installation each skylight essentially creates a big hole in an otherwise uniform roof surface. No matter how well your skylights were installed it is still possible for them to leak during heavy rains. Slipped or cracked conservatory panels can be repositioned resealed or replaced entirely to eliminate leaks and restore the watertight seals of a once leaking conservatory roof. When does it happen.

Every ultraframe roof comes with robust glazing stops to prevent glazing slippage over time but some other roofs have less robust glazing stops which may result in leaks after only a few years. A conservatory roof leaking in centre could be due to a slipped or incorrectly fitted roof panel a cracked glazing unit or a perished seal. If you don t want to pay for a new conservatory but you have one which leaks suffers from mould and condensation or that doesn t maintain a steady temperature all year round installing a new insulated roof could provide the perfect solution. A quick scan of your roof from the ground may also yield some information as well.

Skylight leaks in heavy rain are a common source for roof leaks. Especially as your home ages a bit. If your conservatory roof is leaking that means there s a gap or crack where there shouldn t be and this needs to be assessed by a professional. Often water runs to openings in the vapor barrier such as at ceiling light fixtures.

If your ceiling has a plastic vapor barrier between the drywall and the attic insulation push the insulation aside and look for flow stains on the plastic. The majority of roof leaks especially on new roofs take place around protrusions in the roof. The fowong butyl tape works to repair cracked roofs across multiple surfaces including metal fibreglass wood textile plastic aluminium and more. The gap between the ceiling and the roof will need to be ventilated and leak free to prevent condensation but i think dealing with the leak is your priority.

Note down as much information about the leak as you can do you know where the leak is coming from.
