How to remove mould from roof tiles.

When mould is growing on top of your roof it is often indicative of problems that started within the home. Lichen on terracotta roof tiles is particularly unappealing to the eye and is best handled before it has a chance to cake in and ruin the tiles. Choose a day when there is no rain forecast. Start from the top shingle and rinse downward to prevent water seepage.

More than likely it is spreading from your attic into your roof. Give the anti moss spray time to do its job and then use the high pressure cleaner to wash the tiles down. Roof mould is. If they are severely molded you may want to give it a little longer.

If it is slimy or any sort of residue comes off on your hand repeat the above steps. Start on lowest row of shingles and work your way backwards to the upper part of the roof. As you did in the previous step walk backwards when you are spraying away from the wet tiles and onto the dry ones. The product needs to be diluted 1 part with 5 parts water in a garden sprayer.

This will prevent the solution from draining in your direction. This will remove all the moss and lichen as well as any built up dirt. Inspect the roof for any remaining fungus. You must let the roof dry before a second application of mix.

Next rinse the shingles thoroughly with a garden hose at low pressure. Allow the roof to dry thoroughly. Continue spraying until you see runoff then let the chemicals sit for 15 20 minutes to soak in and begin attacking the mold.
