Leaking conservatory roof

[Roger465]

Roof leaks a bit worse every year, dripping from various points in the apex “hub”, and I think the previous owners had the conservatory added in 1998, so seals are probably a bit wrecked by now.

So what I’m wondering is… what am I going to have to do? In the past, I’ve found the long “spokes” which stretch from the apex of the roof down to the gutter have tended to slip out a bit, and pushing them back up in has cured the problem.

Unfortunately, now they’re all firmly up in place. Can new seals be fitted? Or am I going to have to get a new roof (if still available), which I can’t really afford, or a new conservatory, which I DEFINITELY can't afford?

I can’t even think of a way of inspecting the apex from outside, as obviously the roof wouldn’t take my weight

Thanks

To do it, you have to slide the roof panels out, to gain access.

Then you'll need to match the seal, or gunk up with silicone.

Thanks! Will have a look if the rain ever stops, now I know what I'm trying to do
