Can anyone recommend a good way to clean off a roof that has moss. Is there any special product I can get that can be sprayed on so that the moss just lifts or is the hard way i.e a good brush the only way to get rid of it. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi...

Don't powerwash!

Not sure what type of roof slate/tile/shingle you have but you are probably best spryaing on a product specifically for moss. Talk to the lads at ptarmigan.ie. They have a sea-to-sky product 601 that might be ideal but maybe a bit pricey for your application?

I came across a Renotex product once that was used to protect a roof against fungal growth - not sure if they have one for removing moss? There is definitley a supplier in Dublin for this product. Try them at renotex.co.uk. They will probably be cheaper than these-to-sky solution.

Putting it on - any roofer should be able to do this,or anyone who isn't scared of heights!!

def do not powerwash. powerwashing is abrasive and opens up the pores on slate, tile, stone etc leading to a much bigger moss problem in a short time

a product called masionary wash. spray it on and it kills all things green over the next couple of weeks the dead moss etc flakes off with weathering
