**Conservatory Roof Repairs: A Clear Guide for Homeowners
(And Why PRBG Is the Team You Want on the Job)**
If you own a conservatory, you already know how much value that extra space brings. It’s the bright spot for morning coffee, the quiet corner for reading, or the warm space where friends gather. But all of that depends on one thing working properly: the conservatory roof. When it starts to leak, crack, sag, or lose heat, the whole structure becomes more of a frustration than a feature.
That’s where understanding conservatory roof repairs becomes essential — and where a reliable, experienced team like PRBG makes all the difference. PRBG is known for expert roofing, building, and chimney services, offering quality craftsmanship backed by a 10-year guarantee. When you’re dealing with an area as delicate and weather-exposed as a conservatory, that level of skill and assurance matters.
Let’s break down what you need to know, what problems to look for, and why choosing the right team is the smartest investment for your home.
Why Conservatory Roof Repairs Matter More Than You Think
Conservatories take more punishment from the weather than any other part of your home. They deal with constant temperature changes, strong winds, heavy rain, and—let’s be honest—the occasional storm that makes you nervous.
Over time, this exposure leads to common issues:
✅ Leaks and Drips
This is the number-one complaint. A small leak might seem harmless, but over time it:
Damages plaster and flooring
Creates damp patches
Encourages mould growth
Makes the conservatory feel colder
PRBG sees this all the time, and the good news is that most leaks can be fixed quickly if dealt with early.
✅ Broken or Slipped Panels
Polycarbonate and glass panels can slip from their seals, crack, or become loose, especially after storms.
✅ Failed Seals and Perished Rubber
Your conservatory roof has several seals that prevent water ingress. Once they fail, water finds its way in easily.
✅ Poor Insulation
Old roofs—especially older polycarbonate ones—lose heat quickly. In winter, the conservatory feels freezing. In summer, it becomes a greenhouse.
✅ Condensation Issues
Too much condensation means:
Poor ventilation
Heat escaping
Moisture build-up
Left untreated, it can cause structural issues.
