Whatever the age of the roof on a property keeping the moss at bay is a major concern. Leaving the moss in place can cause the roof tiles to deteriorate and ultimately to become brittle and either crack or become loose. This in turn can result in a leaky roof and make costly repairs necessary.
Removing the moss from a roof can be a simple task if the property is a bungalow as a ladder can be used to access the roof. A jet washer can be used to blast the moss off the roof and a stiff broom can remove any stubborn moss that remains. However, if the property is a house then working from a ladder can be dangerous and certainly climbing on the roof should not be attempted.
Employing a company to remove the moss from a property roof is probably the best option if you are in any doubt. Searching online for a reputable company to undertake the work is a good first step. It is important to read any impartial reviews that are published about the company before you commit to any work commencing and always agree a price beforehand and get it in writing if possible. Although the cost of having the moss removed may seem a lot, having this job done every three or four years may result in fewer problems with the roof in the future.
