Conservatory Cleaning: Restoring Light to Your London Home
A conservatory should be one of the brightest, most enjoyable rooms in your home. But over time, the roof panels, side glass, and frames accumulate dirt, algae, and moss that can reduce light transmission by up to 40 percent. If your conservatory feels dark and dingy, it is probably time for a professional clean.
Why Conservatories Get So Dirty
Conservatory roofs are essentially flat or low-angled surfaces that face the sky. This makes them a natural collection point for everything that falls from above: bird droppings, tree debris, airborne pollution, and algae spores. The polycarbonate or glass panels provide a perfect surface for algae to establish itself, especially on north-facing sections that stay damp longer.
The Impact of a Dirty Conservatory
You might not notice the gradual decline because it happens slowly, but the difference after a professional clean is dramatic. Customers regularly tell us it feels like a completely different room. The increased light makes the space feel bigger, warmer, and more inviting.
Our Conservatory Cleaning Process
At TVT London, we clean conservatories using our pure water system combined with specialist soft brushes designed for delicate roof panels. We clean the roof panels, removing all algae, moss, and debris. We clean the framework and glazing bars. We wash all side windows inside and out. And we clear the guttering around the conservatory to prevent overflow staining.
The pure water system is ideal for conservatories because it leaves no chemical residue that could damage polycarbonate panels or sealants. The water dries naturally without streaking, even on roof panels where you cannot easily reach to buff them dry.
How Often Should You Clean Your Conservatory?
For most London properties, we recommend a thorough conservatory clean twice a year, typically in spring and autumn. Properties surrounded by trees or in areas with higher air pollution may benefit from quarterly cleaning.
