Doesn't work! My East facing roof is covered in large clumps of moss all year round. I Tried spraying Mossgo but couldn't reach to soak it fully.

If you put a strip of copper on the ridge it will kill all moss/algae.
You commonly see copper ridges for this reason.
I suggest getting in contact with a copper gutter supplier and asking them for a copper ridge.

Thanks for the advice . The copper ridge is looking good at the moment.

Blimey!!!! :eek:

That could save me a lot of hassle if it works ....... I have to go up every couple of years and brush my roof to remove loads of the $$$$$$ stuff ....:(

Does the width of the copper have to equal the full size of the ridge tile or could I just fit a Copper band along the top of the ridge? ..... say an inch or two wide ....

Other than the appearance and its slippy. Whats the downside to the moss or is that it?
