The Conservatory Cleaning Works
Nobody is going to automate the person who clears the green off a conservatory roof from the ground with a pole. Conservatory cleaning is hands-on, local and recurring — about as AI-proof as work gets — and now one person can run the whole round with AI doing the quoting, the admin and the marketing.

AI-proof by design
An income AI can't take.
AI can write an essay; it cannot clean a green Victorian conservatory roof in the rain. The work is physical, local and relationship-based, and the income is recurring — the same roofs, every year or two, plus the cross-sell from a window round. That makes it durable in a way a desk job built on tasks software now does is not. What AI changes is the back office: you no longer need staff or evenings of admin to run a serious round.
The headline feature
Run it with AI behind the scenes.
Every manual ships with an Excel toolkit and a 60-prompt AI library mapped to the real jobs of conservatory cleaning — so one person can run a serious operation without staff or evenings of admin.
A round that plans itself
The Excel job tracker and annual-reminder templates turn one-off cleans into a recurring book — no software subscription needed to start.
Customer messages, handled
Polite payment chasers, 'we're coming tomorrow' texts and annual rebooking offers — drafted from a prompt, sent in seconds.
Local marketing on autopilot
Before/after community posts, a Google Business Profile description and a spring-campaign leaflet — generated from the prompt library, ready to use.
Start before you register
Your first £500 before you fill in a single form.
You do not need a website or a marketing budget to earn your first £500. With a water-fed-pole rig and a few streets of visibly green conservatory roofs, the manual walks you from your first 'yes' to a handful of £80–£180 jobs — and the fastest start of all is adding conservatory cleaning to an existing window round, or partnering with a window cleaner who already has the customers.

Honest questions
Answers, in plain English.
How do I start a conservatory cleaning business in the UK?
Buy a water-fed-pole rig with a pure-water setup (a £1,000–£3,500 start), then target streets with visibly green conservatory roofs. You clean the roof, frames, finials and box gutters from the ground — never on the roof — charging £80–£180 for a typical full clean. You can earn before you register anything; you register as a sole trader with HMRC once income is coming in. The Conservatory Cleaning Works gives you the kit list, the method, the pricing and a week-by-week plan to your first customers.
Is conservatory cleaning a good business in 2026?
Yes. There is a very large installed base of UK conservatories whose roofs go visibly green, and the owner can see the problem — which makes the job easy to sell on before/after results. It is recurring (annual or biannual), high-value per job, and a natural cross-sell from window and gutter rounds. AI now handles the quoting, admin and marketing that used to need staff.
How much can a conservatory cleaner earn in the UK?
A part-time or add-on round earns roughly £8,000–£20,000 a year. A full-time solo operator, or a strong add-on to a window round, typically earns £25,000–£45,000 a year. With staff and a wider exterior-cleaning business, revenue can reach £70,000–£150,000 or more.
Is it safe to clean a conservatory roof?
Yes, when done correctly. You never walk or kneel on a conservatory roof — it will not take your weight and you can fall through. The whole job is done from the ground with a telescopic water-fed pole and pure water, the same safe method as professional window cleaning. The manual covers the working-at-height rules and the gentle, no-pressure technique that protects seals and polycarbonate.
Do I need AI or technical skills to use this?
No. The trade is run with a pole and pure water. The AI prompt library simply lets you copy a prompt into ChatGPT or Claude to draft a quote, a customer message or a marketing post in seconds — it compresses the admin, it does not replace the work.
