Conservatory Cleaning in Bournville

Conservatory and orangery cleaning covers a good deal more than the glass. We wash the roof panels, whether glass, self-cleaning glass or polycarbonate, then work through the uPVC or painted frames, the ridge, the finials, the box gutter where the roof meets the house wall, and the guttering around the eaves. Pure water and soft brushes go on the panels, hand work on the trims, and we clean the inside as well as the outside wherever the internal roof can be reached safely.

Conservatories in Bournville are nearly all later additions to much older houses, and that is what makes them awkward. The roof abuts soft Edwardian brick or a rendered rear wall, so the box gutter along that junction has to be cleared by hand rather than flushed hard, and that junction is where most of the drips begin. Rear plots are deep, particularly on the 1920s roads up at Weoley Hill, and a roof sitting under mature garden planting greens over within a season or two. Polycarbonate suffers worst, because the growth gets into the flutes and reads as dark stripes from inside the room.

A typical visit runs the roof first, then the frames, then the glass below, with the gutter line last, and we move nothing in the room or the garden without asking. Spring is the natural slot, once the winter growth has taken hold and before you want the room back for the summer; a second clean in early autumn suits the shadiest roofs. Tell us the roof type and the rough size when you get in touch and we will price it before we come out.
