A leaking conservatory can be more than just a minor inconvenience—it can cause water damage, rot, and even affect the insulation of your home. One of the most common causes of leaks in conservatories is faulty or damaged flashing.
Conservatory flashing is the strip of material, usually lead, aluminum, or PVC, that seals the junction between your conservatory roof and the main structure of your house. Its main purpose is to prevent water from seeping into the building.
Over time, conservatory flashing can leak due to several factors:
Exposure to rain, wind, and UV rays can cause flashing to crack, warp, or corrode. Even small gaps can allow water to seep through.
If flashing isn’t installed correctly, water may not be directed away from vulnerable areas. Mistakes like improper overlaps or uneven sealing can lead to leaks.
Homes naturally expand and contract with temperature changes. This movement can create gaps or cracks in flashing that wasn’t designed to flex.
Water backing up due to blocked drainage can overflow onto flashing, increasing the risk of a leaking conservatory.
The silicone or mastic sealant used around flashing can degrade over time, leaving joints exposed to water ingress.
Identifying the source of a leak early is essential. Not only does this prevent damage to your conservatory interior, but timely flashing replacement can also save you significant repair costs in the long term.
