Clean the gutters
While you’re up there - it’s certainly worth cleaning your gutters too! They need to be cleaned out around twice yearly. Nobody likes doing this but it needs to be done otherwise can cause significant damages further down the line. Hop up on your conservatory ladder and get rid of any moss, leaves or general debris you see.
Cleaning the conservatory roof
Conservatory roofs are not created to withstand a significant load. Under no circumstances must you stand, walk or crawl along your roof, due to the material they are made from, often glass panels they cannot be stood on! In some cases you may be able to use crawl boards and put them over the glazing bars, however, this can still be dangerous, so is best avoided if you can avoid it.
Use a conservatory ladder
The best way to access the conservatory roofing is to use a specific ladder designed to do so and these are just referred to as conservatory ladders. Conservatory ladders are adjustable in height and also adjustable at the base. This helps to stabilise the unit on uneven ground - to ensure optimum safety! The conservatory roof ladder is such a simple mechanism but the key thing is that it's incredibly safe as well as being very lightweight and very user friendly.
Using a telescopic brush with some warm soapy water will help your cleaning. Once you’ve finished this step, make sure you rinse the roof off with a garden hose. It's also important to be aware of the fact that the ridge area of the roofing is often ventilated so jetting water into this area might cause the conservatory to leak so be mindful of this when washing the roof.
