There are 35 million households in the uk, some wont spend £5 to have their conservatory roof cleaned, and the members of moneysavingexpert arent the ideal target market for earning any money out of.

That said if you could convince them that your method of cleaning was the best, prevented algae regrowth etc for the longest period of time etc etc. And load the price to drop close then Im sure that some of those tightwads would part with over £70 an hour to get their conservatory cleaned.

Some hideous buildigns there, but that aside.... yes they are called finials, I would think that the best way to do them was with a toothbrush closeup, failing that soak in chemicals and rinse?

Just use a pole with brush at an angle so its facing onto the finials, and genlty aggitate, thats all i do. Just dont be heavy handed, or u will need a cons ladder to put em back up.. :-\

TFR god bless it and yes be very gentle they vary in how robust they are but some are very flimsy so check your insurance or borrow a cons ladder or both

done a couple at 20 quid took an hour each, not often though at that price.... but twenty quid or more for an hours work.. not to be sniffed at in my view. ;)
