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.
Signs your conservatory needs cleaning.
If any of these sound familiar, a professional clean will sort it.
Green film on the roof
Algae and moss on glass or polycarbonate cut the light.
Moss along glazing bars
Growth collects in the channels of polycarbonate sheets.
Overflowing gutters
Leaves and moss block conservatory gutters and downpipes.
A dull, dingy room
Dirt on the roof and frames makes the whole room darker.
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.
The right clean for your surface.
Softwash, controlled pressure or hand removal — chosen to suit your home, not the other way round.
Send us photos for a free conservatory cleaning quote
Snap a few photos of your conservatory roof, glass or polycarbonate and send them on WhatsApp. We'll look at the surface and reply with the right cleaning method and a free, fixed written quote — or arrange an assessment if we need to see it in person.
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 carry out conservatory roof replacement — fitting a SupaLite warm roof instead.

Glass conservatory roof cleaning
A dirty glass roof makes the whole room dark, so the difference after a clean is immediate. We clean glass conservatory roofs with soft brushes and purified water at low pressure, working the dirt out of the glazing bars where green film collects. No harsh abrasives and no pressure jet — glass cleans up quickly when it's treated gently.
Polycarbonate conservatory roof cleaning
Polycarbonate sheets scratch easily, so we never blast them with a pressure washer. The roof is cleaned by hand at low pressure with soft equipment, and the moss and grit that settle in the channels between the sheets are lifted out rather than washed into the joints. Cleaning from above is never done by walking on the roof — we work from ladders and reach equipment.
Conservatory softwashing and algae removal
Green algae spreads across conservatory roofs, frames and seals in our damp climate. Softwashing — low pressure with a gentle treatment — kills the algae rather than smearing it around, so the green fades away and stays away for longer. It's safe on the seals, gaskets and uPVC that hold the conservatory together.
Conservatory moss removal
Moss collects along the glazing bars and in the channels of polycarbonate roofs, where it holds moisture and washes into the gutters below. We remove it by hand and brush it clear, then treat the surfaces so spores left behind don't grow straight back. The debris is cleared away with the roof — not just pushed into the gutter.
Conservatory gutter cleaning
Conservatory gutters fill with leaves, moss and roof debris, and the first sign is usually water pouring over the edge in rain. We clear the gutters and downpipes as part of the same visit as the roof and frames, so the whole conservatory is left clean and running freely. Pair it with full gutter cleaning for the house.
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.
Glass vs polycarbonate – is cleaning different?+
Yes, a little. Glass cleans up quickly with soft brushes and purified water. Polycarbonate scratches easily, so it is cleaned by hand at low pressure, and moss has to be lifted out of the channels between the sheets. Both are cleaned gently — never with a high-pressure jet — and usually in the same visit.
