How to best clean Cromleigh roof tiles?

My mum's house has Cromleigh fibre-cement 'slate' tiles. They've been on the house's roof for around 17 years. She's now concerned about their tired look with quite a bit of moss growing on them. Does anybody have any experience of cleaning roof tiles of this nature? What's the best way of doing it? Thanks.

    I would leave them alone to be honest.
    You will cause all sorts of problems cleaning them.

    Is the right answer, whatever you do never ever let anyone walk all over your roof jet washing it.

    If you don't find joy in the snow,
    remember you'll have less joy in your life


    ...but still have the same amount of snow!

    And jet washing from the ground upwards isn't a very good idea either, unless you want a loft full of water.

    What's wrong with a bit of moss, anyway?
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
