hi all,

a customer wants his roof cleanered of moss but he does not want it power washed . as anyone sorayed roofs to kill the moss only? if so what have you used?

[drive surgeon]

if you get on the pitch you can low pressure wash it off downwards.  if you blast it up you will loossen the tiles.

this is the dogs bollox!!  think im investing.  you can use a roof ladder to get onto the pitch then use this to clean the roof

i think i said he does nt want any power lance on roof. just whats me to use a liquid to try and kill the moss.

[drive surgeon]

moss killer sprayed on with a pump sprayer. you will need a ladder and roof ladder. 

the thing is mark once the moss is dead on the roof how are you going to shift it?

you need to wash it off!!! 

[drive surgeon]

did you look at the flat surface roof cleaner marc?

I can only think to spray the moss killer onto the roof, either by roof ladders or spider lift (the second one would be my choice) and then when you know it is dead and you get a dry day get back up there and brush it all down with a stiff yard brush!!! or just yard brush the lot off without the moss killer.

I hope you've got strong arms

We dry scraped a roof in Bath on the old train station hangar - next to the clients property.

when the moss is dead the rain or snow will bring it off. there not that much

[drive surgeon]

have you got a moss killer mark?

[gutterman]

MOULD GROWTH CONSULTANTS = google this company and look at litchenite - not cheap but does the trick

[mark.laycock1@ntlw]

thank you gutterman will do. got some mosskiller from mosskillers.co.uk

[drive surgeon]

the mold should come off with that mark.   litchenite! 

its like kryptonite!     remember superman? 

[stevef78]

youd need summit stronger than that as the roof grows lichen as well as moss,if the tiles are pouros which they probably are it is gonna look a mess after treated!!idealy you will need to clean it off properly not jetting upwards as likley to flood attic,then treat it with an anti fungal treatment (biocide) which will keep anythin from growing back,,simply puttin somethin on the moss hoping it will get washed off simply wont work and will cause all sorts of probs with blocked gutters and downpipes etc..and charg 12-15 sq m..

[drive surgeon]

yeah 12 - 15 sq metre sounds good

Hi Mark
Have a look at this website and the headings I think it's what you need

Products

Clean Roof (by hand), Spray Fungicidal Treatment, Fit Copper Ridge and Clean out Gutters -
our most popular service as this is the ‘full’ job. To clean the roof we use nylon brushes, small trowels etc. The fungicide is then sprayed evenly to ensure the spores are killed. Then we fit the copper to prevent future moss growth and clean out all the gutters.
