At Lincs Window Cleaning Ltd., we pride ourselves on tackling even the most challenging gutter clearance jobs, and our recent project at a local church in Market Rasen Lincolnshire, was no exception. With a combination of awkward access, hard-to-reach gutters, and significant water ingress issues, we had to use a range of specialist equipment and techniques to ensure the job was completed to the highest standard.
The Problem: Water Ingress from Blocked Gutters
The church had been experiencing serious water ingress issues, with rainwater overflowing from the blocked gutters and seeping into the building. This was caused by years of built-up debris, including:
- Thick layers of weeds and compost in the large gulley sections
- Blocked downpipes preventing proper water flow
- Hard-to-reach guttering areas that standard methods couldn’t access
With such a complex site, it was clear that a combination of access methods would be required.
The Solution: Multi-Method Gutter Clearance
To ensure a comprehensive clean, we used a range of techniques, including:
✅ Cherry Picker Access: Our fully insured IPAF-certified operatives used a cherry picker to reach high and awkward gutters safely.
✅ Gutter Vacuums: We deployed high-powered gutter vacuums for deep cleaning in areas where manual access was difficult.
✅ Manual Hand Removal: Some sections required a hands-on approach, especially in areas with thick debris and heavy weed growth.
✅ Ladders for Precision Work: For some smaller, hard-to-reach sections, ladder access was necessary to ensure every part of the guttering system was properly cleared.
The Outcome: Long-Term Protection Against Overflow & Water Damage
After a thorough clearance, we successfully removed all debris, eliminating the risk of further water ingress. The church’s gutters can now efficiently direct rainwater away from the building, preventing future structural damage.
Additionally, as fully licensed top-tier waste carriers, we ensured that all waste was disposed of ethically and legally, leaving the site clean and tidy.
