This could be due to structural issues, poor installation, or wear and tear over time. The use of silicon to seal the panels is also a cause for leaky roofs

Yes, extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or snow, can put stress on the roof, leading to slipping. If silicon is used for the sealing the panels in place, high temperatures can cause the panels to expand and contract causing the panels to lose their seal.

It might indicate underlying issues with the roof's framing, the materials used on the panels, or even movement in the building's foundation.

Regular maintenance, proper installation, and ensuring the roof structure is sound can help prevent slipping.

It’s best to avoid using the conservatory until the issue is resolved, as a slipping roof can be a safety risk.

The best approach is to consult a professional to inspect and repair any structural or installation issues.

No, using silicon is not advised.

Conservatory roofs are exposed to a wide range of temperatures due to the sun and weather conditions. Silicone can break down and lose its elasticity over time, especially in extreme temperature changes. It may become brittle, crack, or degrade, leading to leaks.

Poor Adhesion: Silicone doesn't adhere well to all surfaces, particularly certain materials commonly used in conservatory roofs like polycarbonate or glass. Over time, it could detach or lose its seal, compromising the waterproofing.

Dirt and Mold Build-Up: Silicone can attract dirt and dust, which can accumulate in the sealant, creating an unsightly appearance and even promoting mold growth in areas with high humidity.

Not UV-Resistant: Many types of silicone are not UV-resistant, and the constant exposure to sunlight may cause it to deteriorate and lose its effectiveness as a sealant.

Difficult to Remove: If you ever need to replace the roof panel or reseal the area, silicone can be difficult to remove completely. It may leave residue or damage the surfaces underneath making the repair more costly.
