CLEANING SERVICES
Neglected gutters can lead to significant problems for school buildings, including overflowing water, damp penetration, and damage to roofline fascias and soffits. For educational facilities, our proactive maintenance services offer:
Scheduled Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM): Bi-annual or annual contracts designed to catch blockages before they cause internal flooding.
Protection of Building Fabric: By ensuring rainwater is effectively diverted away from the foundations and brickwork, we help preserve the longevity of your school buildings.
High-Level Gutter Clearance: We utilise industrial-grade gutter vacuum systems with carbon fibre poles. This allows us to clear debris from high-level gutters safely from the ground, eliminating the need for expensive scaffolding or cherry pickers in many scenarios.

CLEANING PROCESS
Pre-start: We conduct a thorough risk assessment. Our operators are IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) and PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association) certified, ensuring absolute safety if cherry pickers or scissor lifts are required.
The Clean: Using powerful, industrial-grade wet/dry vacuum systems with lightweight carbon-fibre poles, we can clear gutters up to 4 stories high safely from the ground. For more complex, deep-set industrial valley gutters, our team utilises secure access equipment.
Functionality Check: Clearing the trough is only half the job. We thoroughly check and flush all downpipes, hoppers, and swan necks to ensure rainwater flows completely unobstructed away from the building foundations.
Post-clean Compliance: We provide a full digital report, including before-and-after photographic evidence. This document is essential for your commercial property insurance compliance and landlord maintenance records.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW OFTEN SHOULD SCHOOL GUTTERS BE CLEANED?
We generally recommend having your school gutters professionally cleaned at least twice a year—typically in the late autumn (after the leaves have fallen) and again in the spring. However, if your site is surrounded by mature trees, you may benefit from more frequent quarterly maintenance to prevent significant blockages.
DO YOU PROVIDE BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS FOR INSURANCE COMPLIANCE?
Yes, absolutely. We provide a full digital asset report upon completion of every job, which includes clear before-and-after photographic evidence of your guttering system and downpipes. This documentation is crucial for your maintenance records and serves as proof of compliance should your commercial property insurance provider require it.
WILL THE CLEANING PROCESS DISRUPT SCHOOL ACTIVITIES?
We pride ourselves on our discreet and non-disruptive service. By using advanced high-reach vacuum technology, we complete the majority of our work from the ground, eliminating the need for bulky scaffolding or loud, intrusive equipment. We are happy to schedule our visits during half-term breaks, inset days, or early mornings to ensure no impact on pupils or staff.
ARE YOU ABLE TO WORK ON MULTISTOREY SCHOOL BUILDINGS?
Yes. Our carbon-fibre telescopic poles can reach gutters at heights of up to 12 metres (approximately 40 feet) while our operators remain safely on the ground. This allows us to service most primary, secondary, and college buildings without the need for high-access platforms or cherry pickers.
DO YOU REQUIRE ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL BUILDING INTERIOR?
In the vast majority of cases, no. Because our industrial vacuum system is operated from the ground using telescopic poles, we rarely need to enter the school building. We simply require access to the exterior of the premises and a standard power supply for our equipment.
HOW DO YOU INVOICE FOR THESE SERVICES?
We understand that school finance departments have specific procurement procedures. We offer flexible invoicing options to match your school’s accounting systems, including electronic invoicing, purchase order (PO) referencing, and standard payment terms. Please let us know your requirements when booking.
