Why Is My Conservatory Leaking?

Grassmoor Glass • Apr 08, 2021
Double glazed windows

A conservatory is a great addition to your home; it provides extra space, a place to relax or entertain, and it can even increase the value of your property. Conservatories are built to last, but their multiple sections mean that they can be prone to leaks. No one wants to spend time in a cold, damp, leaky conservatory, so what’s causing these leaks in the first place?

 

There are several reasons why your conservatory might be leaking and it’s important to address the issue as soon as possible. Untreated leaks can lead to mould, water damage and costly repairs, so read on to find out more about potential causes of a leak.


Leaking conservatory roof

Conservatory roofs are often made from multiple panels, frames and vents, so there are plenty of places for a leak to get in! Roof leaks are often the most common and they can be caused by several issues, including damaged roof flashing, a worn seal, a cracked glass pane, or a pane that’s slipped or been poorly fitted. Regularly inspect your roof for signs of any damage and call a professional as soon as possible if you notice any damaged panes or other roof issues.


Conservatory gutters

Another possible cause of a leak is a blocked conservatory gutter. Clear gutters are essential to divert rainwater off the roof and away from your conservatory. If gutters become blocked; water cascades down the sides, which can then erode conservatory seals and lead to leaks. Clear your gutters regularly to prevent build-ups of dead leaves and debris. If the problem persists, your gutters may need to be repositioned or refitted.



Leaking conservatory windows

It might look like your conservatory windows are leaking, but the moisture could be caused by condensation. You can reduce condensation by using a portable heater during the colder months and regularly opening windows to increase air flow. If condensation isn’t the issue, worn or damaged sealant is often the most likely cause of window leaks. Check seals regularly for cracked rubber and damaged or missing patches and add new sealant as soon as possible.
