Moss can be a bit of a nightmare, and any roof that’s not been maintained over the years can suffer from it. Moss can block gutters, damage roof tiles and make your roof like exhausted.

You can defeat moss quite easily, though and you don’t necessarily have to hire a professional. There are many everyday cleaning products that can be applied to your roof to give it added protection, whilst moss is easily removed. You can use water jets, perhaps pick it off by hand or scrape off long runs of moss, and if you do this every 6 months or so your roof will be in much better condition.

Expensive roof coatings and sealants are not always required and there are very cheap moss removal chemicals to choose between, and any of these will do a good job, but so too will your standard kitchen or bathroom bleach.
