MrRalphMan Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi, Had our conservatory for quite a few years now and it really needs someone giving it a bit of attention. Needs resealing and tidying up etc.. Anyone recommend someone in the Essex (Billericay) area? Cheers, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Funny enough ours needs overhauling as well. The roof almost blew off last winter. Be interested to know the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Unfortunately no, but my conservatory roof does tend to leak when you least expect it. Well only when its raining, of course! Its been like that since it was built (about 5 years ago), and the numpties that built it didn't put the finishing 'cap' piece on top, so I've got to get some scaffold and do it myself! Its irritating when they leak, as you have to be so careful around it, as fixing a broken pane of glass can be very costly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A leaky roof is such a pain, but then you've been through that before haven't you My roof leaks when its a constant drizzly rain, rather than the torrents we had last night. Well I assume it didn't leak, as the tenants haven't been on to me yet today. Maybe they drowned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some more floor tiling last night, went into the lounge and closed the curtains and the pole pulled out of the wall. ARGHHHHHH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 you could knock it down and put up a nice new one lol, I had to do mine a couple of summers ago and it only took a few weekends new one is bigger and much better. You can get special pvc cleaner from ebay that works really well to restore the white (although cif etc works pretty well). Get a tube of silicone to reseal any joints. Flashband can help or make sure your lead work is in good order against the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 What did you look for, just local builders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Tried the internet for local windows firms.. Was lucky as one said he knew the bloke who installed it and said he would try to get him to get in touch with me, risking loosing the deal.. Haven't heard anything as yet though... See what happens.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
