Hi guys,

One of the polycarbonate panels on my lean-to conservatory pitched roof has slipped down a couple of inches leaving about a 1.5 to 2 inch gap under the lead flashing where the pitched roof meets the house.

No water is getting in as the flashing is covering the gap but it's bloody freezing in the conservatory now and a fair bit of dust is getting through the gap.

Is it safe to give the panel a shove from the front and try to push it back to the house wall? Or will I damage the seals that join it's sides to the other panels of the pitched roof?

The panel is about 3 feet wide and about 12 feet long and there are 4 of them side by side that make up the pitched roof.

The other option is to bung the gap somehow but I'd rather re-seat the panel.

Cheers,

Isley

edit: of course it's made of polycarbonate not UPVC :oops:

Yes a gentle shove should relocate it back, especially in this cold weather when everything is retracted.
