Gutter vacuum from the ground
Our industrial vacuum system clears debris through lightweight carbon fibre poles that reach gutters up to 15 metres high, without ladders or scaffolding.
Done by our own specialist crews
We clear gutters and outlets and check downpipes, with access planned for each building. Our own specialist crews work nationwide, including Scotland.
Window cleaning clients can have their gutters cleared on the same visit. We do the gutters first, then the windows, and report on anything that needs repair.
Our accreditations
What blocked gutters cost a building
Gutters carry rainwater away from the building. When they block, that water finds another route:
- Overflow onto walls and roofs
- Damp, mould and rot in the structure
- Birds and rodents nesting in the debris
- Flooding around the building
Sectors we work in
Schools and academy trusts
Managed housing and residential blocks
Healthcare estates
Offices and commercial buildings
What a commercial gutter clean includes
A commercial gutter clean clears the gutters, outlets and hoppers, checks the downpipes and ends with a report on anything that needs repair. Each visit is planned around how your building is used.
The scope
We agree the scope before the visit and set it out in your quote. It usually covers:
- Clearing debris from gutters, hoppers and gullies on the agreed elevations, including deep flow gutters
- Clearing outlets and checking downpipes
- Recording any section that can’t be reached safely
- A report on anything that needs repair
How the work is planned
Gutter cleaning is work at height, so each job has its own Risk Assessment and Method Statement. HSE guidance says this work should be planned and carried out by competent people with suitable equipment.
Tell us when the building is occupied, which routes must stay open and who controls access. We can then plan the work around the people using the site.
Who we work with
How we reach gutters at height
The method depends on the building’s height, layout and access. We confirm it with you before the visit.
Cherry picker
On taller buildings, a mobile elevated work platform takes the crew up to gutters beyond the reach of the vacuum system.
Rope access
Where access is limited and a cherry picker isn’t practical, our trained abseil technicians reach the gutters on ropes and harnesses.
Gutters and windows on one visit
If Walkers already provides your window cleaning, we can clear the gutters on one of those visits. We do the gutters first, so debris doesn’t land on clean glass, then the windows. You have one visit to plan and a report on anything that needs repair.
Gutter cleaning FAQs
How often should commercial gutters be cleaned?
At least once a year after leaf fall, and twice a year where a building sits near trees. Previous blockages and inspection findings may call for more.
How do you clean gutters on tall buildings?
Our gutter vacuum reaches up to 15 metres from the ground. Above that, or where the vacuum can’t be used, we use a cherry picker or rope access. We confirm the method for your building before the visit.
Can you work during the school holidays?
Include your holiday dates when you enquire. Tell us about lettings and the site team’s opening hours so we can plan the work around them.
Does gutter cleaning include repairs?
No. The quote separates clearance, checks and repairs. Tell us about known leaks or damaged sections so they can be considered separately.
What information do you need for a quote?
The building location, approximate roofline, known problems, access restrictions and preferred dates. Photographs and maintenance records help to clarify the scope.
How much does commercial gutter cleaning cost?
Price depends on the agreed coverage, access and condition, so we quote for each site.
