Roof Moss extraction and Moss rehabilitation

The most base cause of gutters overflowing is loose roof moss being washed down into the gutters causing a blockage, whether in the gutter itself, in the downpipe, or, even worse, in the private pipework which can cost a small fortune to solve. The clarification is to have it removed and then a fungicidal spray rehabilitation applied to the tiles to help slow down re-growth.

Ideally it should be  removed manually with a scraper/brush,  do not take short cuts like using a pressure washer on the roof which can strip the tiles of any colour and in ultimate cases legitimately damage the tiles. Once the moss is removed  check the roof for chipped or damaged tiles and replace them,  then clear out the gutters of  and any  blockages. Finally  spray the roof tiles with a fungicidal spray rehabilitation . This will kill off any moss spores and will forestall early re-growth as well as kill off any algae and roof litchins.

This method of extraction will not invalidate most manufacturers warranties. There is no flood risk like the risk connected with using pressure washers. The method will not strip colour from the tiles thus preserving the character of the asset and recovery a fortune on roof coatings. Many roofing fellowships push their roof renewal systems such as coatings and sealants on to customers who just want a ; clean roof.  Manual  extraction is a uncomplicated yet somewhat time moving process that gives the homeowner exactly what they want - a moss free roof, reduced gutter blockages  and less drop off onto lawns and gardens.
