Re: Moss on roof

Fix a length of copper pipe along the ridge, and the leaching fluid after rain will kill the moss. Will go black after a few months

Re: Moss on roof

You could just scrub the moss off the roof with the help of a long handled soft brittle brush. You could scrub it from the top down to avoid lifting shingles.

We don't have shingles....not the roofing type, anyway.
Folks shouldn't be walking on roofs......not without experience and the correct safety approach.....especially mups with her two hip and knee replacements coupled with her bunions makes it hazardous

Re: Moss on roof

I find if you whack the roof tiles from inside loft most of the moss shakes loose. Mind you so do half the tiles.

Huh! Cheeky blighter. I'll have you know my hips, knees and tootsies are still in fairly good working order thank you - well perhaps not me tootsie's so much. .

Anyway, sure sign you're feeling better!
Nurse . . . more sedatives needed.
