Bird get some Bio from Kingfisher Products online and Spray that on.

Will hold it at bay a lot longer.

Better still go buy or borrow a power cleaner.

Get back up there' Power Clean the tiles off.

Then spray Bio on all over.

Then brush on UPVA.

Then Re Paint using Kingfisher Roof Paint giving it two coats.3 tubs of paint needed so long as you UPVA roof tiles first .

you will have a new roof in 4 days steady away work and maybe £400 quids worth of materials .

Not only looks brand new but the 4 point process protects the tiles.

Power Clean

Bio  Spray

UPVA

2 Coats of Paint .

 

A course of Red

A course of White

Shouid look well ?

I do plenty of these Ray, there hard graft buddy fairplay, your lucky you've flat tiles an not rolling tiles would took ye twice as long. 

I wouldn't advise on pw the roof though, it takes the outer layer of the tiles, weakens it, an make it very porus. 

Go get yourself some hypo, mix it appropriately, an use a water can an drown the roof in it. 

Before you do that tho, drench the roof an surrounding areas, grass plants, beds, with water so they'll be full when your applying the hypo. 

Once again good job

We do quite a few as Iv said Francie and the roof tiles are brand new when complete.

Check out Kingfisher Products online.

Yeah max they look brand new because you've taken the outer layer of the tile, much like when you buff a layer of a car, it looks brand new, but it's been weakened, an therefore it's easier for the elements to wear down the tile faster mate.

Yeah I'd be happy with it, that said bio spray sounds a good shout but sod painting the whole roof ?

Aye pointless imo to paint the roof, it will look like shit over time, best practices is to scrap it an apply biocide or hypo every year, an the roof will be fine.
