  • How can I keep moss off my roof?

    There's a lot of trees near my house (not on my property) and I think it's because of this I get lots of moss on my tiles. I've had it removed once but obviously it's become mossy again. Is there anything I can do to keep the moss off? My tiles are Welsh slate.

    Does the cost of roof felt repair depend on how accessible it is? The felt area is at the back and a bit awkward to reach. Surely won't need to get scaffolding though?
