Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my conservatory roof go green?
Algae and moss love the damp, shaded environment under trees or on north-facing roofs. The polycarbonate or glass provides a surface for growth, especially where debris collects.
Is pressure washing safe for conservatory roofs?
Not usually - high pressure can damage seals and even crack older polycarbonate. We use soft washing with appropriate cleaners that remove growth without damaging panels.
Will cleaning restore the light inside?
Dramatically. A green conservatory roof blocks significant light. After cleaning, the difference inside is immediately noticeable - often surprisingly so.
Do you clean glass and polycarbonate differently?
Slightly - different cleaning products work better on different materials. We identify what you have and clean accordingly. Both get good results with the right approach.
