If you've identified a leak in your conservatory roof, it's crucial to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you fix a leaking conservatory roof:

2. Clear debris: Remove any debris, leaves, or dirt that may be blocking the gutters or downpipes.
3. Replace damaged glazing: If the leak is caused by a cracked or broken glass or polycarbonate panel, replace it with a new one.
4. Re-seal glazing units: If the leak is due to a damaged seal, re-seal the glazing unit using a suitable sealant.
