Many window cleaners and maintenance companies have invested in new high-reach equipment to enable them to clean windows from the ground thus eliminating or at least minimising the use of ladders.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to access high areas of properties to carry out maintenance due to health & safety regulations and the cost of access equipment such as scaffolding and towers. One area of the building that requires regular attention is the gutter.

There is very few jobs where you can use a ladder. There's always a limit to the height and angle. A second man is needed to foot and a risk assessment must be in place on many sites. Lots of planning of the safe execution of the job is spent before it is even started. This drives up costs. Some are forced to cut corners and compromise safety. Many companies wont allow the use of ladders on their sites now.

Can you clear gutters from the ground?

Now, there is a similar way to clear and clean gutters: A pole system used with a powerful vacuum. Our machines reach up to about 50' and can be used for all types of gutters and being lightweight, can be used at lower angles to reach difficult areas.

The advantages:

The HIGHVAC high-reach vacuum system will work for 99% of cases but we use a cherry-picker where needed. HIGHVAC is a member of IPAF and we hold a PAL (Powered Access Liscence)

Can we prove the gutters are clear?

We provide a camera-survey service so you can look into you gutters without going up there. You can have a before and after video to give you peace of mind that the job has been completed properly.

Most companies and householders are pleasantly surprised at the cost and are delighted with the results especially when their gutters and fascias are also cleaned using the Pure Water Pole System. Customers usually ask for a repeat service the following year. When gutters are cleared out regularly, the joints last longer and there's less need for more extensive and expensive repairs.
