Cracked conservatory roof panels can cause you a lot of problems if you don't get it fixed straight away. You need to look out for it especially over winter seasons, where the roof panels are getting pummelled with wind, rain, hail and snow. This puts pressure on the roof panels, especially when snow piles up in heavy mounds. Sudden or extreme temperature changes can also have adverse affects on conservatories, especially the roofing panels, and cause them to crack or break altogether. It makes the panels brittle, and thus liable to snap and crack. It is important to get a roof panel fixed as soon as you can. You can get quick fixes, much like for car windscreens, where you fill the crack with liquid that expands and sets. If it is just a small crack, perhaps around the edge of the roof, then this could be an easy way to solve it. However, it is only worth doing during summer periods where it is not going to get pummelled with rain and snow, and any extra weight. If it is in the middle of the roof, then it is slightly more risky to fill the cracks this way. However, if it is just a small crack, it is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole panel. The trouble is, small cracks can easily get bigger. You need to keep a constant eye on it, and consider replacing the whole panel before the seasons change and get colder. The best thing to do, if you notice a crack in your conservatory roof panel, is to call out a professional to take a look at it. They will be able to tell you whether it is a good idea to do a quick fix on it, or whether it is too dangerous. You don't want the roof to cave in on you, and you don't want all of the contents of the room to get destroyed. Getting the panel replaced rather than just fixed means there is less chance of it cracking again. It will also make the roof slightly stronger again, and take a lot of weight off your shoulders.
