Hi,

The one way to stop the moss on the roof is to remove it by hand or with a steam cleaner 
Once done you need to spray a moss killer over the roof to help with the regrowth

Hire a professional and have copper stip put on your ridge then when it rains the chemicals from the copper will cover your roof and moss will struggle to grow.

Hope this helps.

I would highly suggest hire someone if not you are likely to slip and injure your self or break a lot of roof tiles . Once the roof is clean you can install  a 2-inch thick strip of copper across the ridge of your roof, as close to the pitch as possible. This will protect roof shingles and tiles from growing moss. If your roof is larger than average, you might need to fix more than one strip. In this case, add a copper strip at the midway point down the roof, too.

I would personally recommend a professional as the danger factor is very high. Usually the roof would be scraped off of all moss then jetwashed  any loose mortar to be repointed on the Ridge tiles then a fungicidal wash to stop regrowth. Finished with your gutters and downpipes cleaned out of any moss washed and scraped from the roof. Hope this helps.

The roof is obviously in a damp place but also the tiles, slate must be holding water, damp for it too grow, solution is scrape off or new roof or just tiles, slate maybe.

With moss it can be a pain in the back side people may say scrape the roof and it won’t come back but the truth is that it will so what I normally do is scrape the roof and spray moss killer on the roof but loss of it and again it may not stop it but it slows the growth 
Hope this helps Ayres roofing contractors

Depends how confident you are and if you have the correct tools and knowledge of where to safely stand on roof.  Probably if you have to ask this question leave it to the pros.

Hello,
It is not a impossible job, but this is a very high risk job.
You must need  to pay attention and take care when you are at a roof.
You will need protect yourself, third parties and you need some particular tools.
It is a very hard job.
You must need a helper, it is a job that request a partner. 
In the end I recommend to hire a professional, the cheapest way sometimes go to a very expensive way.
Good Luck!!!
