DIY ROOFING
How can I get rid of the moss growing on my roof tiles? Is this a DIY or professional job?
We need to clean up the roof of moss. The recent builders nearly killed themselves sliding down the moss when it rained. I am not sure which professionals to ask, or, as it is a dormer bungalow, is this a job we can tackle ourselves, and is so, how?
First job is to remove the current moss.
If you feel up to it / roof not too steep etc.
Scrap off then spray some bleach on it.
Longer term prevention. Believe you can fit a copper strip near the ridge of your roof. When it rains the water dissolves a minute amount of copper that kills / prevents any moss from regrowing.
