Gutter Cleaning
Asset Access clears gutters that are too high, too long or too awkward for ladders and vacuum poles. Our IRATA rope access team works on commercial buildings, industrial units, hotels and managed property across the North East.
01 - Service Detail
We plan the access method, inspection route and repair sequence around the building, the defect and the disruption risk.
Ground-based vacuum systems and ladders work well on low buildings. On taller, longer or hidden gutters, such as box gutters, valleys and parapet gutters, they either cannot reach or cannot see what they are clearing. Rope access puts a technician at the gutter to clear it by hand and check its condition.
Blocked gutters are one of the most common causes of leaks and damp in commercial buildings. Overflowing water saturates walls, rots timbers, stains facades and can freeze in winter. Planned clearance costs far less than repairing the damage it prevents.
We flush outlets and downpipes to check they flow, carry out minor repairs where possible and photograph each run, giving property managers a record they can use.

03 - How It Works
We review gutter types, heights and anchor points from photos, plans or a visit.
We set the access method, exclusion zones and timing around your building's use.
Gutters, valleys and outlets are cleared by hand and downpipes flushed and tested.
You receive before and after photos with any defects noted for follow-up.
04 - FAQs
At least once a year, usually after autumn leaf fall. Buildings near trees, on the coast or with low-fall box and valley gutters often need two visits a year.
Yes. Our technicians are IRATA trained, work on two independent ropes and are supervised by a Level 3 with a rescue plan in place, which makes it a safe method for high-level gutter work.
Building height, gutter length and type, the amount of debris, available anchor points and any need for downpipe clearance or repairs. We quote from photos or a site visit.
Yes. Each visit includes before and after photos and notes on any defects, which helps landlords and managing agents keep maintenance records.
