Roof sealing
Jan 24th, 2012, 7:57pm
 
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I intend to clean the roof of moss etc and then hose down to get all the loose stuff off.
Would I be best to seal the tiles with something or just leave as is.
I believe they are standard concrete type roof tiles.

Thanks

Leave them as is.

How are yoy removing the moss? Pressure washing can leave the roof looking rather bleached. Brushing?

Have read that copper strip fixed to the ridge can stop/reduce regrowth but never seen how it's fitted.

I was just going to use brushing for the worst parts and normal hosing (not jet wash) for a general overall clean.
