Or use a long reach branch cutter out of the window, or gaffer tape a knife onto a pole and cut them

I was thinking something along these lines....a knife taped to a pole or something....

Depends on how much you want the job, id say its safe enough to climb out of the upstairs windows and stand on the bars of the roof. you can also use a crawler plank if you want, im a heavy bloke and I ve stood on many a roof bar with no issues at all

If it’s just a small number of cable ties can you cut them with a scraper on a pole and then hoof the hedgehog out ??

As mentioned by others

I would remove brush from  quick loq

Then tape a box cutter retractable snap off scalpel to quick loq with a camera go pro

I would go on a Saturday morning just to try tackling the hedgehog 🦔

If it didn’t work I would have just lost a couple of hours

Not perfect
But at least I wouldn’t of wasted a working day

I Always feel guilty saying No

But you can’t win em all 😬

Camera maybe better on separate pole to cutter

So you can get steady footage

Is he getting the roof cleaned, cos he's gonna need it afterwards.

I'd personally be happier to kick the job in to touch. Work on/over conservatory roofs is never going to be easy or ideal.

Whats your insurance company think?

You could always ask if he would be willing to pay the hire of a roof ladder if you want the job, but would probably be cheaper to get a local roofer to do it as most have said.
