Conservatory Cleaning in Four Oaks

A conservatory or orangery is cleaned through rather than simply rinsed. The roof panels come first, glass or polycarbonate, including self-cleaning glass, which needs the right approach so the coating is left intact. After that come the uPVC frames, the finials and ridge, the box gutter where the roof meets the house, and the downpipe running off it. Purified water and soft brushes do the work from the ground, and the inside of the glass can be done as well wherever it is safely accessible.

Orientation decides how often a roof needs doing in Four Oaks. Deep back gardens with tall boundary planting leave many roofs in shade for most of the day, and a north-facing roof under cover builds a green algae film inside a single season. Behind the older houses you often find a tall Victorian-style garden room or an orangery added to an Edwardian rear elevation, with ornate ridge cresting and a box gutter tucked hard against original brickwork. On the post-war and 1990s houses the lean-to conservatories are mostly polycarbonate, which goes dull and streaked and wants a gentler touch.

Once or twice a year suits most conservatories here, and spring is usually when people notice, because the first bright morning shows every green streak overhead. A visit takes in the roof, frames, finials, ridge, guttering and box gutter, with the inside of the glass done where we can reach it safely. If a roof has been left for several years we will say so before we start rather than afterwards. Tell us the rough size and whether the roof is glass or polycarbonate and we will price it.
