I had a spare few tiles and stood on one in the shed as an experiment/total accident. It snapped. I am however 6ft6, built like a real company director and weigh like one. So I'd say, go for it.

Even if you were twice the weight, you'll be doing more damage to the roof with the power washer than your weight

I sprayed my roof with some Wet and Forget nukem stuff a short while ago and waited for the rain to do its thing.
It was while the gutters/soffits and facias were being replaced so I took advantage of the scaffolding to also scrape the large chunks off with a long stick/batten. Very technical, but it did the trick.
The gutters were constantly being blocked with moss. I feel as though I've bought a few years of free flowing gutters.

My garage roof has moss on one side. I need to get up there with a power washer and get it all off.....
Why?
Do you need your garage to look like a new Barratt house?
Because the birds go up there and peck it off and then throw it on my car.
Seriously, that's a problem?

Tiles are like this (not my actual garage but same builder I think)
Persimmons? I have a similar roof that I need to clean.

I mean, I guess its no the end of the world but cleaning this off every day gets a bit boring...
