Re: Moss on roof
Tpin, thank you darlin', no I don't want it painted, but the chap who is probably doing the job did say about 'treating' the tiles with something to stop regrowth. I am now scared it might be poisonous. I don't want any poisons round my animals.Do you know what stuff he might mean? Also, any very rough idea what I should expect to have to pay?

In truth I have never used one.
Mainly because I always surrounded myself with people who knew what they were doing.
I have been on many a roof in my years putting up ariels or dishes or replacing old broken tiles, even repointing chimney stacks.
Steep and slightly slanted and never had a tile break underfoot.

Re: Moss on roof
I have moss on the roof, not a problem
I have the gutters cleaned regularly by the window cleaner . Two neighbours had the moss removed for silly money and were talked into having a special coating applied to stop the moss returning. I only know because they approached me to have mine done as well .
A few years down the line and the moss is back.
I can have my gutters cleaned for 26 years for the price my neighbours paid for having the roof cleaned
I quite like to see the moss, it provides an extra layer of insulation and any bits that drop off come in handy as a mulch in the garden
