What was the roof problem?

Moss had grown into thick mats across the lower rows of tiles. Higher up the slope it sat in smaller tufts along the tile edges.

What did Moss Men do on the roof?

Dave records this job as manual moss removal. The during photograph shows a long pole reaching up the slope, with a roof ladder hooked at the ridge for access.

What do the roof photographs show?

The first is a close view of the moss on the lower rows. The second looks up the slope towards a metal flue while the moss is still in place. Neither shows the roof when the work was finished.

How can you ask about your roof?

Each roof is looked at on its own before we recommend a method or discuss the likely result. A past job shows what was done on that roof; it does not predict the result on yours.

Send your address, the roof concern and photographs taken safely from the ground, if you have them. Include any restricted access, previous repairs or property requirements you know about.
