26.09.2022

Your conservatory is one of the most essential parts of your home. It adds value to your property and provides a space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. However, over time, the roof of your conservatory can become damaged, allowing water and debris to enter. This can lead to severe problems, such as mould and mildew, and can ultimately result in the need to replace your conservatory roof.

If your conservatory roof is made from glass or polycarbonate, it is vital to keep an eye on its condition. These materials are susceptible to damage from harsh weather and will eventually need to be replaced. Below, we explore the signs that it's time to replace your conservatory roof and the benefits of doing so.

Leaks

One of the most common reasons to replace your conservatory roof is leaks. If your conservatory roof shows signs of a leak, it'sessential to act quickly, as any damage can worsen and become very costly. Not only will water damage the structure of your conservatory, but it can also lead to mould and mildew growth. This can cause respiratory problems for you and your family.It's also important to note that the sealant surrounding the glass panels may deteriorate over time. This might happen due to solar exposure, age, or any fractures or gaps in the roof panels.

 

Weather Damage

Harsh weather conditions are a frequent cause of conservatory roof replacement. High winds can cause damage to your conservatory by knocking branches and other debris onto the roof. Hailstorms can also break glass and leave dents and cracks. Not forgetting the extreme heatwaveswe experienced this summer, whichmay have caused damage to your conservatory roof and its materials, making the frame warp and potentially start to break down.

 

Energy Efficiency

Older roofs can be inefficient, letting heat escape in winter and causing your home to be uncomfortably warm in summer. This is especially true if your conservatory roof is made from glass or plastic. When this happens, it becomes less effective at regulating temperature and protecting your home from the elements, which will cause your energy bills to increase as you must use more heating and cooling to maintain a comfortable temperature. With energy bills set to double this winter, replacing your conservatory roof with a more energy-efficient option is a great way to cut costs.

What's more, a replacement conservatory roof will also improve the appearance of your home. If you have an old or damaged roof, it can impact the overall aesthetic of your property. A new roof will make your conservatory look more modern and stylish. It can also add value to your property if you ever decide to sell it.
