Maintaining your Roof by Removing Moss

Moss can be clear to see on many aged roofs, and if you want to keep yours in excellent condition then it’s important to remove moss when a great deal of it is found on your roof. Moss thickens over time and it can actually lift up tiles on your roof, allowing dampness to seep through.

A great deal of moss can also build up water levels and you may then find that you’re guttering system is not entirely useful because the water remains lodged in certain areas. It’s important to make sure you remove moss properly, not by pressure washing which can actually do damage to your roof.

You should ideally use roof cleaner products, which contain chlorine and bleach. These will be powerful enough to remove any dirt and moss and it is beneficial to rinse the chlorine and bleach after.
