Why not just hypo it after scraping it will do the same job as bio but much quicker and a fraction of the cost

Hypo it, the problem with biocides is they don’t last long enough. After some rain, and more rain, and a winter, there isn’t going to be any more biocode on that roof!

Hypo will do an instant job, and has the same residual effects as a biocide to be perfectly honest. I.e untill the weather washes it away…

4-1 as splash said, but you may even find 5-1 is enough, after two applications…

I’ll be doing my house roof in early autumn, I always like to do roofs on cooler damp days if possible!
