Can the roof be walked on?

It should not be. Polycarbonate and most conservatory glazing are not designed to take weight, and a cracked panel costs far more than the clean. Pole-fed systems exist precisely for this.

How often does it need doing?

Once a year for most, twice where trees overhang. Between cleans the algae comes back gradually enough that you stop noticing — which is why the difference afterwards is so obvious.

Is polycarbonate cleaned differently to glass?

It is. Polycarbonate scratches easily and cannot take abrasives or strong pressure, so it is brushed with pure water rather than scrubbed. Say which you have when you post.

Conservatory Cleaning in Ireland

A conservatory roof is the surface nobody can reach and everybody can see. Green algae builds up on the north-facing panels, moss gathers in the glazing bars, and from inside the whole room dims by a shade each year. Cleaning is done with pole-fed brushes from the ground, because walking on conservatory glazing is how panels crack.
