Today we are starting a contract at a hotel to remove all the algae and biological growth from stonework present. The before images show how the stone doesn’t look at its best and can be significantly improved


We are confident that this will Look amazing after treatment and will ensure that the garden building will be brought back to its best

We are happy to work with hotels, apartments etc to complete exterior cleaning such as #carparkcleaning #pathwaycleaning #gutterdebrisremoval #guttercleaning #rendercleaning


 
 
 

You may think this is just for aesthetic reasons but there are some very practical reasons to ensure your building is looked after:


1.

Prevents Structural Damage



When gutters become blocked with leaves, moss, and debris, rainwater can’t drain properly.

That water:


  • Overflows down the building’s walls

  • Seeps into brickwork, cladding, and insulation

  • Causes damp, rot, and even internal leaks



➡️ Over time, this can lead to serious structural damage — especially in large commercial buildings where roof drainage systems are complex.





💰 2.

Avoids Costly Repairs



Water damage is one of the most expensive building maintenance issues.

Clogged gutters can cause:


  • Roof leaks

  • Damaged fascias or soffits

  • Corroded metal guttering

  • Damp ceilings and wall staining inside



➡️ Regular gutter cleaning is far cheaper than emergency repairs or water damage restoration.





⚡ 3.

Protects Electrical & HVAC Systems



Many commercial properties have:


  • Electrical wiring

  • Lighting

  • HVAC units


    installed close to roof areas.


    If gutters overflow or leak, water can reach these systems — leading to equipment failure, safety hazards, or shutdowns.






🧼 4.

Maintains a Professional Appearance



Overflowing gutters often leave dirty streaks, algae, or moss growth on building exteriors.

That gives a poor first impression to:


  • Clients

  • Tenants

  • Visitors



➡️ Clean gutters help preserve the building’s appearance and reputation.





🌿 5.

Prevents Pest Infestations



Standing water and organic debris create ideal conditions for:


  • Birds

  • Insects

  • Rodents



➡️ Regular cleaning removes nesting materials and reduces pest risks — especially important for food, healthcare, or hospitality facilities.





🧯 6.

Improves Health & Safety



Blocked gutters can cause:


  • Water pooling on walkways (slip hazards)

  • Ice formation in winter

  • Overflow near entryways or loading bays



➡️ Keeping gutters clear helps ensure the site remains safe and compliant with health and safety standards.





📜 7.

Meets Insurance and Maintenance Requirements



Many insurance policies and building maintenance agreements require evidence of regular gutter cleaning.

If water damage occurs and the gutters haven’t been maintained, insurers can refuse coverage.





🔁 8.

Extends the Life of the Gutter System



Debris, standing water, and excess weight can:


  • Pull gutters away from brackets

  • Corrode joints and fixings

  • Cause premature failure



➡️ Regular cleaning keeps gutters in good condition for longer, saving on replacement costs.

Cleaning commercial gutters is essential for protecting a building’s structure, safety, and long-term maintenance costs. Here’s a clear breakdown of why it’s so important:





🏗️ 1.

Prevents Water Damage



  • Gutters are designed to direct rainwater away from the roof and building.

  • When they become clogged with leaves, debris, or moss, water can overflow — leading to:


    • Roof leaks

    • Water pooling around the foundation

    • Damp or mold on walls and ceilings




💧 Result: Structural damage and costly repairs.





🧱 2.

Protects the Building Structure



  • Overflowing water can erode masonry, cladding, or render.

  • Standing water adds weight to guttering, causing it to sag, crack, or detach from the fascia.

  • Water infiltration near walls or windows can weaken the structure and damage insulation.






💸 3.

Reduces Maintenance and Repair Costs



  • Routine gutter cleaning is far cheaper than repairing water damage, replacing cladding, or re-roofing.

  • Prevents premature deterioration of roof systems and drainage infrastructure.






⚙️ 4.

Ensures Proper Drainage and Flow



  • Clean gutters allow for unobstructed water flow to downpipes and drains.

  • This prevents pooling on flat roofs — especially common in commercial buildings — and reduces leak risk.






🌿 5.

Prevents Pest and Vegetation Growth



  • Clogged gutters can become breeding grounds for insects, birds, and rodents, as well as weeds or moss.

  • Cleaning removes nesting materials and organic buildup that can attract pests.






🧯 6.

Improves Safety and Compliance



  • Overflowing or broken gutters can cause slippery walkways, posing a safety hazard for staff and visitors.

  • Many facilities management contracts and building regulations require regular maintenance checks — including gutter cleaning.






🏢 7.

Protects the Property’s Image



  • Clean, functioning gutters contribute to the professional appearance of a commercial property.

  • Overflowing, stained, or sagging gutters can make the building look neglected or poorly maintained.
