Getting roof tiles repaired cleaned and secured

[stirling]

Hi
Can anyone tell me what it should very roughly cost to get my roof (slate) tiles cleaned and secured... They are brittle, covered in moss and a magnet for birds.
Ive got birds on the roof now creating a racket moving tiles about as they pull off to prepare for nests. Throughout autumn I find bits of broken tiles and moss clumps all around the outside of my house.

It's a 3 bed bog standard 1930s semi detached.

Don't think I'll ever be able to afford a roof replacement. Thank you

I had the same thing, exact type of tiles and house. I paid £300 to get it all scraped and a solution applied to stop moss growing again. I am in NI though so might be a bit cheaper here than places in England.

AutumnSummersBuffysCousin thanks for that. It gives me a very rough idea. And yes I have to add more on top as I'm in London :)

you could spray it with "wet and forget."

scraping tiles, and clambering about on them, will cause more damage.

That's a really good tip pigletjohn. Question is, how to get up there!

I have a 4 bed detached house in Reading, a tile scrape was £350 about this time last year.

It depends on how easily accessible your roof is - do you need scaffolding?

If you happen to be in NW London then pm me and I will send you the details of the very reasonably priced roofer we used last month.
