Post by: Window Washers on May 14, 2010, 06:59:02 am
Does anyone know where you buy end caps for conservatory roofs from ?

not use if they have a certain name, the thing that goes on the end of the straight sections on a conny roofs the sit on the end of each panel wall near the gutters

First one I have every broke, and had to happen in one of the best houses that I clean.

If you mean the white plastic section that covers the end of the roof sheet into the gutter its called a u end. other names include end closure or sheet closure. Measure the thickness of the polycarbonate. It will be 16mm or similar if its triple wall. Find a local upvc/roof supplier . they sell it in 2m lengths. Its only about a tenner.
How did you get on with the hinges?

Spongbob - I think he means those fancy caps that cover the joint end between the sheets of plastic roofing. Like cill ends they are easy to catch with your brush.

Okay i see.
Could you post a piccy and I may be able to tell you the roof manufacturer. Just the end cap or bar profile would do.

Yeh I keep catching those. Luckily only ever broke one, but I don't do that many conny roofs.
