Roof cleaning

[Iain kinnell]

Hi any advice on roof cleaning without a pressure washer we started a job for a customer yesterday and scraped by hand and is looking amazing as was covered in moss.

However I want to spray something on it after to keep the moss at bay.

Any suggestions please

Many thanks

I have a load of roofs that could be done - what did you scrape with ? I wondered can you get a VERY stiff brush for WFP

Keep in mind that any brush you use will likely be fooked after cleaning a roof as tiles are very abrasive. A dutch hoe and a guaging trowel were my weapons of choice when I did a roof and they worked great.
