Red Oaks Care Home Gutter Cleaning

Care home gutter cleaning is an essential maintenance task that is important for the good health of the drainage system to allow rainwater to drain away accordingly and as intended. Poorly maintained gutters can lead to blockages and leaks which can lead to more extensive problems such as damp, damage, and decay.

Furthermore, care home gutter cleaning can be a difficult and overwhelming task for the care home management team to organise and complete in-house especially in a safe and effective manor.

Gutter cleaning maintenance can be a high risk task if not completed properly by a competent person with the right training, tools, and equipment.

Sudell Gutter Cleaning recently attended the Red Oaks Care Home in Sutton-in-Ashfield to help with their gutter cleaning maintenance. Due to the complexity of the guttering system and the difficult access, it was evident that the management team at Red Oak Care Home have struggled with their gutter cleaning maintenance for a number of years resulting in overflowing gutters and gutter leaks which if left untreated the water will eventually finds its way through the brickwork causing damp inside the property.

The gutters at the care home were mainly full of grass and moss with the grass happily growing in the gutter corners where the roots could grip into the gutter joints firmly. This was removed carefully using our very powerful gutter cleaning machines that were operated safely from the ground. The gutter machines allowed us to effectivley clean out an abundance of muck from the deep gutters with the use of ladders and harnesses in areas where the grass had grown so dense that it could only be removed with a specialist pry-bar.

The gutters at the Red Oak Care Home are now free-running and can drain rainwater accordingly.

We look forward to delivering our future gutter cleaning schedule recommended to our friends at the Red Oak Care Home.
