Why do it?
Large amounts of build-up of dirt, moss on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth could well cause major issues with the roof and the durability of the tiles will over time be compromised too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will swiftly grow uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into weaknesses in the roof tiles, steadily widening them over time until cracks become visible. Like all living organisms they need water to live, and after it rains, they’ll act like a sponge retaining as much water as they possibly can. Once it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it could cause serious and expensive deterioration to the rafters and joists.
