Best way to clean a conservatory roof?

Thought I would ask all you clever people for advice once again. Recently moved and the conservatory roof is a mass of lichen patches. It is a lean to 25ft x 9ft. Any ideas? is there a company that cleans roofs? or does anyone know of a product we could use?

    What is the roof made of?

    Depends on where you live. In Worcester there is a local firm that clean conservatory roofs - I had mine done the other week for £35 - try yell.com or yellow pages for roof cleaners, or maybe call a few local window cleaners - if they don't do it, they may be able to suggest someone who can.

    The guy who did mine used a hose with a stiff rubber broom attached to scrub all the horrible green stuff off.

    The best thing I found for cleaning my (polycarbonate) roof was Jeyes fluid.

    Thank you for the advice all. It is polycarbonate. It isn't green moss it's the yellow hard lichen that seems to be on our roof. We have a field at the back so it's quite open. Conservatory we are told is about ten years old.
