It's old and needs replacing but funds don't allow just yet.
Any tips for fixing a leak that seems to be coming in from one of the bars running from the apex to one corner?

I've tried silicon on the outside but it's a pig to get to..

What's the roof made of?

, if it's not polycarbonate, you could try bitchumin tape

We had ours replaced at the start of the year with a sid tapco tile roof

So much better! Got price down by doing insulation & interior myself

Have you drilled into the bar for blindside similar.

If not you need to take off the top cap from the outside, carefully it will be brittle. Lift out the polycarb and track the leak down. Pics would be useful.

This is interesting as I've got the same problem.

But and this is a big but, my conservatory style roof is on my work room, which is the 3rd storey of our house (it's the converted attic).

We had a builder type round about 3 years ago, with long ladders climbing all over it. He did what he could but I know it will need replacing. Really worried about the cost.
It looks like a turret from the outside, (instead of a dorma style window).
