What was the roof problem?
Pale and yellow lichen spots cover the hip and ridge tiles, and dark marks run along the lower edges of the tiles on the slopes. No moss shows in either photograph.
What did Moss Men do on the roof?
Dave records this job as manual moss removal. The photographs were taken from the top of the roof and show no tools or access equipment.
What do the roof photographs show?
The first looks down one slope beside the hip, with a garden below. The second is a closer view of the hip tiles and their lichen. Neither is labelled before or after, because they do not show which stage of the work they record.
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.
