The roof is the bit you actually look at
Nobody sits in a conservatory admiring the window frames. They sit under the roof, looking up through it — which is why the roof is the part that decides whether the room feels clean or tired.
The roof, from the ground
Glass or polycarbonate, cleaned with a pole from outside. Nobody walks on it — a conservatory roof will not take a person’s weight, and the panels crack long before they look like they will.
Frames, bars and finials
The white glazing bars between the panels are where the green really shows. Ridge, finials and cresting too — the fiddly bits at the top that get skipped.
The little gutters round it
Conservatory gutters are shallow and block quickly. They tip water straight down the frame if they are full, which is how the green streaks start in the first place.
Pure water, so it dries clean
The water has nothing dissolved in it, so it dries off the glass without spotting. That matters most on a roof, because it is the one surface you can never reach up and buff afterwards.
Why conservatory roofs go green
It is not really dirt. A conservatory roof is a flat-ish surface that stays damp, gets almost no traffic and rarely dries out fully in winter — which is close to ideal for algae.
It starts in the channels
On a polycarbonate roof the green grows inside the flutes and along the joins where water sits longest. That is why it looks like stripes rather than patches.
Shade makes it faster
A roof under a tree or on the north side of the house stays wet for days after rain. Same conservatory, same age, twice the green.
You notice it from inside
From the garden a roof can look fine. Sit underneath on a bright day and every streak shows against the sky, which is when most people ring.
Once or twice a year is plenty
This is not a four-weekly job. A conservatory usually wants doing once a year, twice if it is shaded, and it makes a bigger visible difference than almost anything else outside.
One honest limit
Cleaning is cleaning. If a polycarbonate roof has gone cloudy or yellowed from years of sun, or algae has got inside the flutes where the panel is sealed, washing the outside will not fix that — nothing will, short of replacing the panel. I will say so when I look rather than take the money and leave you disappointed.
Real reviews, not stock quotes
These are about window, gutter and UPVC work rather than conservatories specifically — but they are real, they are recent, and they are all on the Facebook page in the customer’s own words.
