Conservatory roof pane needs repairing...?

You will probably be able to pick up a replacement from B&Q or Wickes...they are normally of fairly common materials....ie Corrugated plastic as glass would be too heavy and too dangerous if somebody walked underneath it , as it shattered ?!

I have never fixed one...and I am not a DIYer....but I would imagine it would be simple to do....with just a few tools...and fairly inexpensive !

First of all, are you sure the leaks are coming from the nail holes? The tin could be corroded or punctured in spots, thus creating leaks. If that's the case you've got a lot more expenses ahead (new roof?). I assume you have a corrugated roof: usually the holes made for fastening are located on the ridges rather than the valleys, thus making it much more difficult for water to enter. If you're sure it's the nail holes, I reckon the first solution is best: replace the nails with screws and caulk them with something like silicone. I can't imagine the screws being a big expense, surely the sealant would be the most expensive part of the cost - and you are almost certainly going to need some type of sealant in any case to repair your present roof. EDIT: For a quick and easy (but temporary) solution, use duct tape applied when the roof is dry!!

Get in a glazier, If you do it yourself here are a few things that could go wrong...

You cut yourself, perhaps taking off a finger.

You find a piece of glass of that size is too heavy for you and give yourself a rupture

You disturb some other of the glass squares and can enjoy drips for the forseable future

You find the old glass will not fit into your bin and atack it with a hammer. Tiny bits of glass in your eyes hurt and stop you working for days. Still interested in some DIY?

if its climate control glass then its £95 square metre, if its just clear toughened then its £50 square metre
