Hi Guys,
Went to quote a roof cleaning job today and as i pulled up the roof to me looked clean (no moss or general grime) but the customer whats the green fungus removed from the edges/corner tiles ???
So was wondering what you guys have found the most effective way/chemical as don't see the point in PW as it is a big/awkward roof.
Regards

hi alan in my opinion if you realy have fungus on the roof the problem is not the roof it is what is holding it up the timbers & walls are the problem fungus roots travel hundreds of metres with out any body notice-ing
you only see fungus when it blooms/fruits/spores whatever you like to call it
walk away from the job fasttttttttt

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply!! ;)
When i say "fungus" i mean the green/yellow stuff that is on most roofs that isn't moss!!!
Not sure what it is maybe Lichen? ???

Alan,
Is it lichen or is it green Algae ? as John points out some areas you are not allowed to remove lichen so check first with your local authorities.
If it is Algae you can Use Swift & Sure that is whar we use all the time,
