Best method of moss removal from roof?

[KarlaKK]

Hi, has anyone removed moss from their roof and chose a certain method over others? I'm doing a bit of research and it seems there is high pressure water, low pressure water, chemical or air pressure. Can anyone recommend the method they chose over the others? Thanks in advance.

A low-pressure wash with a cleaner is a safer option and still gets good results.

They used to keep ours clear in our old house too. They look for bugs under the moss, I think. Made a good job of the roof but a mess on the path.

Around here everyone has a strip of copper tape/wire just below the ridge, which stops moss and algae. Is that not a UK wide thing?

I think brush method is fine. Dh and I did ours ourselves, up ladder. Just used broom and dh attached a scrapper thing to another broom handle. Just scrapped everything down, emptied into buckets. Clearers gutters. Literally did it last month. Hadn’t been down for at least 15 years+. We had small trees growing in the gutters!

Move the tiles to a nicer country.

We live in a bungalow and DH did it by hand with wire brush soon after we moved here 14 years ago. Still looks pretty good but I'd not be letting him up there these days.

Oh, glad I found this thread. My surveyor flagged it on my roof too. I'm looking to get a local roofer around to scrape it off as I can see that the gutters are full of moss, so I'm guessing it is something to do every now and then to help keep the gutters clear. Posters who have had this done before, did you pay on an hourly rate or for the whole job? I don't have a particularly large roof but I have no idea how this works and don't want to be ripped off. Thank you.

I’m interested too. We have lots of moss and don’t know where to start when looking for a roof cleaning company.
