If you’ve taken the step of improving your home with a conservatory it’s great to be able to sit back and relax, knowing the work is done and the space is there for you to enjoy. Maintaining this peace with effective conservatory repairs are therefore really important. The reality is a well built conservatory can last and require little help. But some issues can develop. Conservatories really began to boom in the 1990’s so there are some out there that are 20 or more years old. The first area to consider then is simple old age. If you have an older conservatory, take some time regularly to do some checks. How does the structure look? One regular problem with older structures can be the polycarbonate panels. How do they look? Consult a builder if you have any concerns. Next look for any exposed metalwork. Is there lead flashing? What state is it in? Have any seals broken or any there any exposed plates, rivets or screws? The reality is that weather will take effect on exposed metal and so fresh seals may need to be fitted to ensure the continued long life of the structure. One tell tale sign of a need for repair is leakage during wet weather. If this happens identify the leak and contact a repairer as soon as possible. Some older conservatories also have timber as part of the structure. Again make sure this isn’t exposed particularly if it is left to soften in anyway. Often the required action for any exposes pieces of structure is to fit new cappings or coverings. This can prolong the life of an older conservatory considerably. One other repair area to consider is in newer structures. Most companies do a great job in putting up a conservatory but you do hear of horror stories. Most problems are created by faulty installation. If you have any concerns do contact a specialist Conservatory company for help. But all conservatories whether old or new can be affected by extreme weather. If there’s been a storm it’s worth checking the structure, again looking for broken seals or external damage. Again, seek help if there are any problems. Conservatories are a great feature for any house and there to be enjoyed. Watching for repair issues can give you added piece of mind and getting help to get things fixed will keep these structures as a joy rather than a worry.
