I don't know if all modern conservatories are built like mine, but I
suspect that they are.

The gutters clip into a top section at the same position all around
the structure, so there is no fall for drainage.

Isn't this a design defect?

on a small medium sized conserv no - i did mine level for the
aesthetics w quite chunky ogee type gutters - would have looked abit
odd if laid to any (useful) fall....

Do they overflow? if not then no prob really......

No they don't overflow. But they get more sludge permanently trapped
up there than I find in the house gutters, which obviously do have a
fall to a downpipe. It all gets emptied out at the Spring clean-up
when the roof panels get their outer surface mopped. Those lumps of
moss have to go!

No need to have a fall, all old terrace houses had the guttering just
layed on the top course of bricks and screwed to the wall plate
