Pine tree sap on conservatory roof

Got a wooden framed older conservatory roof to clean. But it's literallly covered in dried sap from the pine tree almost directly above it. Some of its dried some of its gluey. Obviously doesn't come off normally. What the best chemical I guess to eat through it without damage.
Many thanks

Never really come across it but i would think very hot water would be the way to go (none of this luke warm element stuff) proper hot. And lots of elbow grease. Also possibly something with a high alcohol content to break it down (but i would try a test patch first if you intend to try and clean it).
Personally i would avoid unless you price extremely well for it (bear in mind if you try and wfp it, it will probably destroy your brush, I also doubt if its on the woodwork too simply cleaning it off will work without marking the paint.

Scraper on an pole would be your best bet.

It's glass. But yeah razor on a pole was the last resort. Kinda thinking of an excuse not to do it. But it's a nice £40 window job as well plus a £25 little veranda clean.

If you are willing to give it a go as its glass , fair play to you .
But to be safe you should make them aware that there is a possibilty of scratches , use a nice slippy cleaner and get plenty of good blades , and dont forget to price them in to the cost.
When my brother first started up he took on a travel lodge builder clean , he had to spend loads on blades as it was so bad with render , and he hadnt factored on using so many it ate right into his profit .
