Halfords do a range of brushes for cleaning caravans etc in conjunction with a pressure washer.
They are more than good enough for a conservatory roof and avoid the risk of contaminating your best brush.Also, its a waste using pure water, tap water is good enough because the roof is usually semi opaque anyway so smears won't show.

It fits straight onto your normal angle crank adapter and works a treat - all for the princely sum of 3-25 - it may look a bit short of bristles BUT it is extremely light and seems to shift bird muck easily.
You can buy them in either stiff or soft (I use soft), I used it on a conservatory roof last week as a trial and it worked very well with the bonus of it doesn't trap any dirt either.
