    Personally I wouldnt bother. There is no easy way to hide cables and its always going to look rubbish.
    Your best option would be to get a wall mounted light and a wall mounted fan.
    I decided to bite the bullet and install split air conditioning, its fantastic!

    Ask the conservatory company how they would go about fitting.it. If they can't satisfy you as to the reliability of the fixing, then they have sold you something which is unfit for purpose and you should demand your money back.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Most of the ones I have seen attatch to the tie bar holding the conservatory frame together. If you have not got a tie bar then I think its a no go.
