As roofs age and get more porous, they are often invaded by algae, moss and dirt. Maintaining a roof that is clean and void of any moss and dirt may be quite difficult for many owners and becomes a source of problems.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have your roof look brand new again?
Why do it?

If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these plants will swiftly spread uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into vulnerable spots in the roof tiles, progressively widening them over the course of time until cracks appear. Like all living organisms they need water to live, and once it has rained, they’ll work like a sponge retaining as much water as possible. Once it finds its way in the cracks into your roof it might well cause serious and expensive damage to the rafters and joists.
