I’m told that after cleaning, a length of copper wire should be fixed to each ridge then dropped vertically into a pit on the ground. The claim is that chemicals in the copper run down the roof when it is raining and in doing so prevents moss growth.

I moved in to my bungalow a short while ago and decided to clean my roof. I am against using any biocide treatment, that's just me, but I did do it in the height of the sun last year which was a mistake in itself, a beautiful sun tan on my head anyway. I found a wire brush and duct taped it to the end of a paint roller extending handle. It did a great job compared to the finish achieved in the video and it's been absolutely clear for the last 9 months but I do not suffer from any tree debris like this owner and with it being my own property and me being an idle layabout pensioner I could afford to take my time.
