Q.  Can I have my roof cleaned by power washing?
A.  It our opinion that you should not have your roof power washed, power washing a roof means a fast and hopefully even clean, but its the long term problems that can be the problem, roof tile manufactures and slate companies, often say that their products have a life of at least 25 years, but high pressure water is like multiple hurricanes, with water travelling at very high speeds, its said that its the equivalent of 15 to 20 years weathering in one go..  
The British NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors) issued a statement some years ago saying  " Most ‘techniques’ that we have come across to remove moss, are often achieved by ‘violent’ means such as power-washing, which may cause damage to the roof, especially when combined with unnecessary foot traffic often leading to cracked or broken roof tiles." And  Marley, a huge tile manufacturer issued a statement which said " The use of high powered jet washes is not recommended as it can damage the surface of the slate or tile, thus reducing its expected life considerably"
A British council, also issued a statement as follows," Roofing experts warn that roof tiles should not be subjected to high-pressure washing or jet washing for many reasons which include:
Removal of Lichen and moss by jet washing will invariably remove the granular surface finish and potentially damage the structural integrity of the tile, this process followed by a surface treatment application would invariably invalidate any tile manufacturer’s guarantee.
Interlocking roof tiles are not designed to be walked upon, foot traffic can cause these interlocks to break opening the roof up to water ingress.
Inappropriate pressure washing can potentially force water up between the tiles and roofing felt into the roof space. Bedded mortar and flashing's can also be blasted off using this method, potentially leading to further costs for rectification.
Therefore we can only recommend soft swashing for the cleaning of roofs.
