How often should you clean a conservatory roof in Chippenham?

Most people in Chippenham never think about the roof of their conservatory until the day they look up and realise how much light it's lost. Moss, lichen and a green film of algae build up slowly on the glass, and because it's the one part of the house nobody can reach, it tends to get left for years. By the time it's noticeable from inside, there's usually a proper layer of growth up there.

As a rough guide, a conservatory roof benefits from a clean once a year, sometimes every couple of years if it sits in an open, sunny spot. If yours is under trees or on a shaded north-facing pitch, it'll green up faster and may want doing more often. The lichen in particular doesn't wash off with rain — it roots into the surface and keeps spreading until it's properly treated and lifted off.

How I clean it

I use a citrus-based cleaning agent to break down the moss and grime, and a specialised treatment for the lichen, which needs more than a general wash to shift. My cleaning system runs off a solar-powered pump, which is a genuine local difference and something I'm quietly proud of.

The before-and-after tends to speak for itself: glass that looked permanently grey and grubby comes back clear, and the conservatory feels brighter inside straight away.

Looking after it through the year

If you'd rather not wait until the roof has gone green again, I run quarterly and triannual plans that keep the whole property looked after through the year — windows, frames and the conservatory glass — so it never gets back to that state. You get the same face every visit, a text the night before, and dates you can rely on. No fleet of vans, no call centre, just me.

I cover Chippenham, Calne, Malmesbury, Tetbury, Batheaston, Bathford and the villages in between.
