In order to keep your conservatory in tip top condition, you will need to clean it. Regular cleaning will reduce the need for maintenance as dirt can cause discolouring and corrosion and in some cases cause pieces of your conservatory to fail.

Most conservatories are quite large and cleaning can be quite time consuming, My advice would be to break the cleaning process down into smaller more manageable tasks, an example would be Job 1 clean glass, Job 2 clear guttering of debris, Job 3 clean framework etc. To break the jobs down further you can break them into inside and outside tasks.

It is an amazing fact that uPVC double glazing was sold by the industry as a maintenance free product. While it is true the uPVC frame will last approximately 10,000 years before degrading, the mild steal and cast Zink moving hardware parts will last an average of 10 years before they start to fail.

The problem with window company guarantees:

i) Many window companies have gone out of business leaving the guarantees worthless,

ii) Most guarantees last about 10 years so end just when you need them,

iii) The guarantee in most cases only covers the hardware for 12 months and the uPVC for 10 years.
