IFM recently completed works carrying out a full gutter clean at one of our clients’ sites, ensuring rainwater systems were clear, functional, and operating as intended.
Due to the height of the gutters, access was safely achieved using a MEWP, allowing our team to work efficiently while maintaining full compliance with site health and safety requirements. A safe working perimeter was established to prevent access by unauthorised personnel while the MEWP was in operation.
Our operatives removed the accumulated silt, sludge, slurry, loose debris, and vegetation from the gutter troughs. All waste materials were bagged up and disposed of appropriately. The gutters were then swept through before being rinsed to leave them clean and free-flowing.
The completed works have restored effective drainage, helping to prevent blockages, water ingress, and potential damage to the building fabric.
✅ High-level gutters accessed
✅ Removal of silt, sludge, debris, and vegetation
✅ Gutters rinsed, cleaned through and left in optimal condition
Routine gutter maintenance like this is essential to protecting building form leaks and water ingress. IFM is always happy to support clients with planned maintenance works, just like this, to keep sites operational.
