Glass & polycarbonate roofs
A conservatory is only the bright, airy room you built it for while its roof stays clear. Because the roof sits flat to the sky and shaded by the house, it collects algae, moss and grime faster than any wall or window — and once the panels green over, the light goes and the room turns dim and cold. We bring it back. We clean both kinds of roof, matching the method to the material:
- Glass roofs — the algae and grime that gather along the bars and in the corners lifted away without scratching the panes, so the glass is clear again and the room fills with light across Chichester and the Witterings.
- Polycarbonate roofs — the softer, twin-wall panels cleaned with an even gentler soft wash, never scrubbed or pressure-blasted, so the surface is not crazed or clouded — just cleared of the green.
It is all done by gentle reach-and-wash soft washing from the ground, never high pressure, so nothing is forced past the roof bars or the seals. While the roof is being cleaned it is the natural moment to bring the rest of the frame line up to match with a uPVC, fascia and soffit clean, and many customers add a window clean so the glass and the panes come up together.
Valley gutters & finials
The glass is only half the job. The valley gutters that run between conservatory roof bays, and the leadwork and finials along the ridge, are where moss, leaves and grit settle first — and once they back up, the water has nowhere to go but inside. A clean roof with blocked valleys still leaks. So we clear the valley gutters out, flush them through and clean off the finials, ridge capping and bars as part of the roof clean, not as an extra. The result is a roof that looks right along the ridge and drains the way it should when the rain comes off the West Wittering and Selsey coast. If your conservatory sits below trees, this is the part that saves you a damp ceiling come autumn — and it pairs naturally with a full gutter, soffit and fascia clean on the house itself.
Inside-out cleaning options
Most conservatory roofs only need the outside cleaning — that is where the algae, moss and grime live. But where the inside of the glass or polycarbonate has filmed over, or flies and dust have gathered on the bars and trims, we can clean it both ways where access allows: the algae, moss and grime cleared off the outside and the valley gutters flushed, then the panels, glazing bars and trims wiped down inside so the light comes fully back into the room. It is honest cleaning, not a restoration: conservatory roof cleaning is the one specialist add-on we offer alongside the uPVC round, and we will always tell you plainly what a clean will and will not bring back. We do not seal, re-coat or replace panels — we make the roof you have clear and clean again.
