Gutter Cleaning

Gutters play a vital role in keeping your building clean, safe and free from water ingress. You might have noticed but in the UK it does tend to rain every now and then. This water accumulates on rooftops and flows downwards along the easiest course of action. If allowed, it will penetrate cracks and fissures in the tiling, flat roofs and facades of the building.

That’s why it’s always worth ensuring that your stone, cement and brickwork is in good repair. However, over time water will always find a way in, which is why it's essential that you have adequate guttering to deal with the volume of water that falls in this country.

Gutters need to be attached on the lowest point of any roof to catch water that runs off. The guttering needs to be sloped and have down tubes to take water away from the building as quickly as possible, preferably into a drain or other channel where it will not accumulate further.

However, as well as water, other debris can get into the guttering. This debris is usually leaves that have fallen from trees or dirt and other detritus that gathers on roofs and is washed away. If not regularly removed, this can build up and cause blockages in the guttering and this is when big problems occur.

Blocked or damaged guttering can cause water to build up and reservoir in places where you really don’t want it. As mentioned above, water looks for the path of least resistance and this can mean spilling down walls, into brickwork or other parts of the building that should stay dry. It can also cause gutters to become too heavy and lead to cracking or pieces of the guttering becoming disconnected. Our team are very experienced with providing gutter cleaning and repairs.

That’s where commercial gutter cleaning services come in.

Commercial Gutter Cleaning

Most guttering is installed at height along the edges of rooftops and down steep walls, all of which means cleaning these areas can be dangerous. This is especially true of large-scale commercial buildings which are often made up of multiple storeys and with limited access to high points.

Cleaning gutters is also not as simple as you would imagine. It requires removing blockages and debris at height along lengths of guttering, which often involves specialist safety and cleaning equipment.

Here at Spectrum, we offer a professional local gutter cleaning service that will keep all your building’s gutters in good condition and prevent water ingress at all weak spots. We can operate safely at height, with access specialists and safety equipment making sure that everyone is safe at all times.

Using our gutter cleaning vacuum, we will remove blockages and other debris and spot any potential future issues to monitor over time. As well as horizontal guttering, the vacuum process can also clean downpipes, which can be very tricky to access using traditional gutter cleaning equipment. That means you will have no unseen blockages or build-ups catching you by surprise during a downpour.

We can fix any small breakages or damage to the gutters, making sure that all fixings are in good working order and no leaks are visible – which also helps to keep the building’s users safe.

Gutter Maintenance

As with all of our work, we take pride in the quality service we offer for gutter cleaning and maintenance. We will flush through all the debris with the appropriate jet head and use the vacuum gutter cleaner for the more stubborn jobs and to clear bigger blockages.

We will document each job with photos and videos. This means you can be sure that the job has been completed to a high standard. These jobs often take place in hard-to-access places so it’s always good to know that issues have been resolved.

Also, don’t worry if there is no access to water as our vans are equipped with large water tanks for supplying water for drain jetting if required.

Drain Cleaning

Of course, all gutter runoff has to go somewhere and ideally, water should be removed from the vicinity of the building as quickly as possible. That means ensuring that all drains are clean and clear. Again, leaves and other debris can be washed through guttering and into these drains. If blocked, they can cause water and damp issues at ground level.

If you have a leaking gutter, our team of gutter and drain specialists will make sure that all water pathways are clear from all the gutter muck and carry out tests so that you are never caught out when it rains.

Roof Cleaning

Our teams are also highly skilled in cleaning rooves. So, if we identify that your gutters are being clogged by a dirty roof, we can identify and address these issues at the same time. That will protect your gutters from future problems and ensure that your gutters remain clear for the foreseeable future. Our high-pressure cleaning systems will remove even stubborn dirt and blockages from any shaped roof.

Working at height and access

Our teams are specially trained to work at heights and to access hard-to-reach areas of any building. Safety is our number one priority at all times – both for our staff, people in and around your building, and the building itself. Whether the job requires rope or platform access, we can use our specialist knowledge and equipment to get the job done.

Gutters play a very important role in the protection and safety of any building. But it can be all too easy to overlook this, especially when they are at height.

However, out of sight and out of mind can lead to damp issues, blown render and water ingress, so it’s always a good idea to schedule a gutter inspection or regular cleaning whenever you can. We have the equipment and staff to make sure your building and investment are protected and stay in the best possible condition for years to come.
