Oh Dear!

It was raining (for the first time in ages) when we woke up this morning. M said ‘at least we know our new conservatory is watertight’. Less than 10 minutes later I noticed the unusual sound of dripping and the sight of a rapidly growing puddle.

The application of an old towel and the precise placing of buckets was carried out. The company who did the work are coming out to investigate tomorrow. They did discover late in the job yesterday, as they manipulated the lead flashing between our bungalow roof and the new tiled roof on the conservatory that our existing lead flashing was not great and recommended that we consider having it replaced, which might be the problem. Whatever the reason for the leak I’m sure they’ll sort it out for us.

It was useful that it rained while we were in so that we were able to clear it up quickly.

Apart from that, we are very pleased with our new conservatory and no doubt I’ll blip it at some point in the future.
