Manual scraping followed by biocide is the safest and most effective approach. Pressure washing and wire brushing both cause damage.

The safe method

Hand scrapers shaped to the tile profile, working top-down, never relying on water force to dislodge moss.

  • Always use a roof ladder with proper anchoring
  • Never walk on dry brittle tiles
  • Treat with biocide after physical removal
  • Clear gutters of dislodged debris
