01
Overview

A simple, considered approach.

Conservatory roof cleaning

Moss, leaves and green algae collect on conservatory roofs and in their gutters, cutting the light and causing overflows. We clean glass and polycarbonate roofs carefully, clear the gutters and wipe down the frames so the room is bright again.

02
The problem

Why most older conservatory roofs stop working.

Almost every project we visit starts with the same set of complaints.

Too hot in summer

Glass and polycarbonate roofs trap solar heat and make the room unusable.

Too cold in winter

Poor insulation lets warmth escape and pushes up your heating bills.

Leaks & condensation

Aging seals and single-skin roofs let damp in and cause recurring leaks.

Loud during rain

Thin roof materials amplify noise so the room never feels settled.

Gentle methods for glass and polycarbonate roofs

Polycarbonate scratches and old seals can be forced open by a pressure jet, so we use soft brushes, purified water and low pressure. We never stand on the roof.

Conservatory algae and moss removal

Green algae and moss build up along glazing bars and in the channels of polycarbonate sheets. We remove the moss by hand and treat algae with a low-pressure softwash, so the growth is killed rather than just smeared around.

Conservatory exterior cleaning — frames, fascias and gutters

We clean white and coloured uPVC conservatory frames, fascias and conservatory gutters, so the outside looks as fresh as the roof. Pair it with render and exterior softwashing for the house walls.

03
The solution

A complete insulated warm-roof system.

Engineered to building-reg standards and finished beautifully inside and out.

When cleaning isn't enough

If your conservatory roof is leaking, discoloured or too hot and cold to use, cleaning won't change that. We also fit SupaLite warm roofs — see our replacement cost guide for prices.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Do you clean conservatory roofs in Plymouth?+

Yes. We clean conservatory roofs, frames, gutters and glass across Plymouth, the South Hams and east Cornwall, with a free fixed written quote.

Can you clean polycarbonate conservatory roofs?+

Yes. Polycarbonate scratches easily, so we clean it by hand at low pressure with soft equipment rather than using a high-pressure jet.

How do you clean a conservatory roof?+

We clear leaves and moss by hand, treat algae with a gentle cleaning solution, then clean the glass or polycarbonate with soft brushes, purified water and low pressure. Gutters and frames are cleaned as part of the same visit.

Can you pressure wash a conservatory roof?+

We don't recommend it. A high-pressure jet can scratch polycarbonate and push water past seals and glazing bars. Low-pressure cleaning or softwashing is safer and does the job.

How often should a conservatory roof be cleaned?+

It depends on trees, shade and how close you are to the sea. Many homes find a yearly clean keeps the roof bright and the gutters clear; we'll suggest what suits yours when we quote.

Do you walk on the conservatory roof?+

No. Conservatory roofs aren't designed to take a person's weight. We clean from ladders and reach equipment, and we'd advise you never to climb onto one yourself.

My conservatory roof is leaking — will cleaning fix it?+

Cleaning clears blocked gutters and dirt, but won't fix failed seals or panels. If your roof is past its best, we can talk you through a SupaLite warm roof replacement instead.

How much does conservatory cleaning cost?+

We give free quotes only. The price depends on the size and shape of the conservatory, access and how dirty it is.
