Conservatory roof

    I have a large conservatory(15'x11') at the back of the house. It projects 15' from the back wall. I want to get at the gutter, facia, soffit, and bedroom window reveal, above the conservatory, to repaint them. Is double-chamber polycarbonate roofing strong enough to take the weight of a 75 kilo person(me)?
    Alternatively, are there purpose-made ladders, or platforms, specifically for that purpose?

    Definitely NO.

    Hire a tower and scaffold planks. Dont even dream of walking on polycarbonate roofing.Polycarbonate panels are hard set to keep out rain, let alone support you.
    No..No.No..

    Many thanks! I suspected that was the case, but wanted confirmation.
