Cleaning the roof of my conservatory, with soft brush and touched the "castle" type upvc spike on top and it fell off !
From looking at it , it just needs pushing back onto area it fell from, problem is its obviously in middle of roof and cant reach,
I take it the roof is not strong enough to lie on so any suggestions please.

perhaps one of these litter grabbing type things might be of use, other than that a really small child and a couple of quid may work.....lol0 -

1 bit of rope, throw it over the conservatory and use that to drag is off the roof, then ring the firm that fitted it.
tell them it fell of in the night and your unhappy..
will be a small fee to refit, but you will know its done correctly and will last longer..0 -
