The roof is the bit you look at
No one sits in a conservatory looking at the frames. They sit under the roof and look up through it. So the roof decides if the room feels clean or tired.
The roof, from the ground
Glass or polycarbonate, cleaned with a pole from outside. No one walks on it. The roof will not take a person’s weight. The panels crack long before they look like they will.
Frames, bars and finials
The green shows most on the white glazing bars between the panels. We do the ridge, finials and cresting too. Those are the fiddly bits at the top that get missed.
The little gutters round it
These gutters are shallow and block fast. When they are full, they tip water straight down the frame. That is how the green streaks start.
Pure water, so it dries clean
The water has nothing in it, so it dries off the glass without spots. That counts most on a roof. You can never reach up and wipe it after.
Why conservatory roofs go green
It is not really dirt. The roof is nearly flat and stays damp. Nothing brushes it, and in winter it hardly ever dries out. Algae love that.
It starts in the channels
On a plastic roof, the green grows inside the flutes. It also grows along the joins, where water sits longest. That is why it looks like stripes, not patches.
Shade makes it faster
A roof under a tree stays wet for days after rain. So does one on the north side of the house. Same room, same age, twice the green.
You notice it from inside
From the garden, a roof can look fine. Sit under it on a bright day and each streak shows against the sky. That is when most people ring.
Once or twice a year is plenty
This is not a four-weekly job. Most need doing once a year, or twice if in shade. Few jobs outside make a bigger change you can see.
One honest limit
Cleaning is cleaning. A polycarbonate roof that has gone cloudy or yellow from years of sun cannot be washed back. Nor can algae that has got inside the flutes, where the panel is sealed. Washing the outside will not fix either — only a new panel will. I will tell you when I look, not take your money and let you down.
