Treat moss and mould with Resene Moss & Mould Killer
Wash thoroughly using Resene Roof Wash and Paint Cleaner to remove any contaminants, mould etc. Lichen may need to be scraped off

Existing roofs in good condition simply need thorough washing with Resene Roof Wash and Paint Cleaner to remove chalking, dirt and salt deposits, followed by a good rinse with clean water. Remember to disconnect spoutings if rainwater is collected.
Consider using a Resene Cool Colour to minimise heat retention if selecting a dark colour.
Resene Moss & Mould Killer will be needed if there is any moss and mould present, often where trees overhang roofs. Lichens will need to be scraped off.
