If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these plants will rapidly spread uncontrollably with their roots working their way into weaknesses in the roof tiles, steadily widening them throughout time until cracks appear.

As it finds its way through the cracks within your roof it could cause serious and expensive destruction to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well discover moss that has come loose and fallen down the roof into your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia’s.
