Harpic, Cillit Bang or Toilet duck. (i tend to remove the labels, so the customer doesn't know what it is)

May sound a little crazy to use household cleaners, but they are all powerful limescale removers. I have tried different methods for years and always come back to using any of the above, by mopping the conservatory roof then hosing it down.

You can then either squeegie it off or with pure water depending on whether you are trad or wfp.

Where am I knocking today?

I never use anything but water and maybe a bit of fairy for stubborn bits.
It all comes off mate.
If the plastic is knackered on the cills try upvc resorer or a bit of car cutting compound .

i use virosol mixed with water in a 5L pressure sprayer.

spray roof,leave 5 mins then wfp off with hose on customers outside tap if available.

i use a carbon gooseneck with a gardiners medium bristle sill brush for conny roofs.
