Roof cleaning chemicals

Hi guys 😀
I'm wanting to try and clean my slate roof on the house.
Just wondered if people have done this or do it for a buisness and could tell me the best way to do it. Didn't know if I could just use a chemical or would have to use my jet washer?.
Many thanks

Depends on what's you are trying to clean off the roof....
Algae only - chemical spray will do it - either algoclear/quats or sodium hypochrorite
If it's moss/ lichen/grime buildup then pressure wash but with a mini FSC ( not turbo nozzle ) or 15 degree fan jet
Whatever you do do not walk on a slate roof when cleaning use high access equipment

Hi Darren,
Cheers for your reply.
Yes just algae mainly. The sodium do you dilute it and then spray on?. I chose this one as it seems the cheapest🙈 As long as it works.

Dilute to 3 to 1
Try not to get overspray over next doors washing or passers by
