Mould On Conservatory Roof

Mould is caused by moisture in the air which often forms as condensation on windows and other surfaces.

Mould on conservatory roof.

Hi we have a 3x5 upvc conservatory with a glass roof running across the back of our house north facing. I do this with an old fashioned stringy mop to which i ve attached an extra long handle and scrub it with hot water containing some cif oxy action cleaner or similar. Condensation and mould in conservatory. A couple of times a year i clean the exterior of my lean to conservatory polycarbonate roof.

Mould is a sure sign that your conservatory has inadequate heating and ventilation sometimes localised to cold spots where there are concealed gaps or a small leak that is seeping in. One of the best ways to prevent that is by insulating the roof. By insulating the roof you will be able to keep your conservatory warm which will reduce the chances of mould infestation along the roof. Mould only tends to occur in the presence of condensation.

We ve found in the last few weeks we ve had real problems with condensation where even during the day the conservatory windows and roof are covered in water and we are starting to see mould growth. This can be caused by poor ventilation in the conservatory or a significant difference in temperature between that in the conservatory and outside or in adjacent rooms.
