Why Keep Your Commercial Gutters In Great Shape For 2024

It’s important that you keep your commercial gutters in great shape all year round. However, if you
struggle to keep on top of commercial gutter maintenance, maybe make it a priority in 2024. It will
be of benefit to you. If gutters are left uncleaned this can result in costly emergency repairs and
replacements. However, a bi-annual clean and inspection of your gutters by our team can help avoid
this extra stress and expense.
Gutter congestion occurs when a build-up of dirt and debris is stuck in the gutters. This results in the
gutters being unable to work currently and overflowing. When your gutters overflow this looks
unsightly. However, it also puts extra strain on the gutters and their fixings. In turn, this puts extra
strain on your commercial building, as the gutters pull on the structure.

The excess water from the blocked gutters and gutter congestion can lead to external rotting too.
This can be very serious for your roof and result in challenging and costly repairs to your gutters, the
roof and even the structure of your commercial property. This is definitely something that you want
to avoid, and something our commercial gutter cleaning services can help you avoid.

It is possible that the congestion in your gutters causing blockages and water to overflow can also
cause internal flooding within your commercial property. This can cause potential and resinous harm
to electrical systems as well as the contents within your commercial property. Again – an extra stress
that you definitely want to avoid.
While you can extract the debris from the commercial gutters yourself, it is advised against. This is
because you will need to work at height and have the right tools for the job. By having the correct
equipment, you can ensure that blockages can be removed without the risk of damage to the gutters
or the property.

The Importance Of Good Commercial Gutter Repair

When you run a business there is a lot to consider. At the top of the list of jobs is making sure the business is open. You need to ensure that it is running smoothly at all times. This involves health and safety, compliance, payroll, holidays, staff shortages, staff cover, HR, stock control, supplier meetings and more.
Right at the bottom of your list, or maybe not on your list at all is commercial gutter maintenance and repair. However, a damaged gutter can lead to a lot of disruption to the business. It can also be a large financial risk to leave your commercial gutters blocked, damaged or not repaired.

Commercial gutter cleaning

If your commercial gutters are left blocked, damaged or leaking, this can shut your business. You could have a loss in sales, damaged stock and office equipment, high maintenance and repair costs, along with a whole lot of stress.

Now imagine that damaged gutter was left for a few days. This could result in the gutter leaking overnight. In turn, this could cause pooling on the ground along with leaking water into our business. This could result in damaged stock or office equipment. In addition, the extra time the damaged gutters are left for could result in more gutters needing to be replaced as the damage has spread.
Let’s say that the same damaged gutter was left for over a week. What could the damage and financial impact of that result in? You could have water running into your business premises which will damage everything in its wake from computers, electricals, desks, stock, paperwork, records and more.. Water spillage from the gutters could also cause exterior masonry damage and significant water staining.
As you can see from this example, the longer a gutter is left blocked or leaking, the more inconvenient and costly it can become. A annual check of your gutters can save you from this
stress and expensive costs. Contact our team now to book your gutter cleaning or maintenance.

The Importance Business Of Commercial Gutters

The Importance Business Of Commercial Gutters

The Importance business of commercial gutters. Rainwater gutters, downpipes and gullies are a standard feature of homes across the UK. However, they are also a fundamental, but often forgotten, part of commercial buildings too.

When it comes to commercial property maintenance and cleaning, business owners think of what they can see. The windows are cleaned, carpets professionally cleaned, even the carpark and block paving – but what about the commercial gutters?

Bigger Roof, Bigger Gutters

Commercial buildings will tend to be bigger than standard homes. They have a larger roof area too. This means more rainwater will flow from the roof into the gutters.

Due to this fact, the gutters on commercial buildings will often be wider and deeper. The bigger capacity of commercial gutters allows for more rainwater to flow quickly and effectively off the roof, along the gutters and through the downpipes.

You will often find commercial gutters around the perimeter edge of the commercial roof. They will also be in the valleys that can be found between the roofing sheets. These run down the middle of the building.

The Importance Business Of Commercial Gutters

Depending on the size of your commercial building, you may have multiple valley gutters present. The biggest issue with commercial gutters is the risk of blockages.

Due to the larger roof and additional gutters, debris can easily fall into the gutters or get swept into the gutters by heavy rainfalls. This debris will block the gutter and stop the free flowing of the rainwater.

The extra debris in the gutter will also add unnecessary weight to the commercial gutter and this can cause serious damage to the gutters and building.

Blocked commercial gutters

If you do not have a regular commercial gutter clean booked and the debris are not cleaned out, there can be serious issues. For example, the gutters could overflow due to the blockage.

The weight of the blockage and the standing water could result in the gutters bending, cracking or even splitting at the joints.

This can result in the gutters coming away from the building or big leaks in the gutter which can lead to more serious damage.

When was the last time your commercial gutters were cleaned in Peterborough? If it was more than a year ago, you need to call us now. We can book you in for a commercial gutter clean.

Four Reasons Commercial Gutter Cleaning Is Essential

February 27, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Four Reasons Commercial Gutter Cleaning Is Essential

Gutter cleaning is an essential part of maintaining your commercial property and keeping it safe. Below we discuss  four reasons commercial gutter cleaning is essential. As professional commercial gutter cleaners we would recommend you have your commercial gutters cleaned at least twice a year. Ideally this should be in the spring and in the winter. These are the times when leaves are likely to block your commercial gutters.

In this blog post we look at just some of the reasons that commercial gutter cleaning is essential.

1. Keep Your Structure Safe & Sound

When gutters become blocked with dirt and leaves, they can become damaged. In turn, this can cause numerous structural issues for your commercial property. The rainwater from the roof flows out of the blocked gutter and lands heavily on the foundations and seeps into your walls. Over time, this absorption of rainwater will cause major structural issues which can be extremely costly to fix.

2. Avoid Dampness- Four Reasons Commercial Gutter Cleaning Is Essential

If the rainwater is unable to flow through the gutters around your commercial building, it will accumulate in any other available space. Overtime this will lead to damp in your building. This is particularly common in the basement of your commercial property. If you store goods or important business items in your basement, damp in this area of your commercial property is definitely something you want to avoid.

3. Stay Pest Free

Damp areas and excess stagnant water are dream breeding areas for pests. This can include pests such as insects and rats. Through regular commercial gutter cleaning you can avoid damp areas and excess stagnant water. In turn, this will reduce the risk of your commercial property and commercial gutters becoming a location of multiple pests.

 

5. Damage-Free Gutters

Another reason commercial gutter cleaning is essential is to reduce the risk of gutters becoming damaged. Blocked gutters can easily become broken or damaged. This is due to the extra weight that is caused by the accumulated dirt, leaves and water in the gutter. The extra weight on the gutters can pull the gutters away from the wall and even create cracks in your commercial property wall. In some cases, blocked gutters can fall away from your building completely.

Why Commercial Gutters Are Important Business

Why Commercial Gutters Are Important Business

Why are commercial gutters important business? Gutters are a fundamental and essential part of all commercial buildings. Whether it’s a school, factory, shop, hospital or restaurant, your commercial building will need gutters. And, these commercial gutters will need cleaning.

The commercial roof

Commercial buildings are often much bigger than homes. This means that they have a larger roof area. This means more rainwater to run down the roof and into the gutters and through the downpipe. You will often find that commercial gutters are a lot longer, wider and deeper than residential gutters because of the bigger capacity needed.

Unlike homes, commercial gutters can be found on both the perimeter edge of the roof, but also in valleys between roofing sheets too. These gutters in roofing sheets will often run down the middle of the commercial building.

Blocked commercial gutter

Due to the increased surface area of the roof and depth of the gutters, the gutters can fill up and block quickly. There is more space for debris to collect on the roof and this is then washed into the gutters by heavy rain. The debris in the gutter can cause the gutters to block which stops water flow. This will add extra weight to the gutters which can result in damage to the gutters or the structure of your commercial building.

Why Commercial Gutters Are Important Business

This sums up why commercial gutter cleaning is really important.

If the debris that falls into the gutter is not cleaned out serious issues can follow. This can include gutters overflowing due to the blockages. The gutters could bend, crack or split. The extra weight load can result in leaks in your gutters.

You may spot large puddles around your commercial building where the rainwater can not flow easily along the gutters and through the downpipes. These puddles look unsightly, but they can result in landscape and structural damage too.

Overflowing or leaking gutters can be devastating for a commercial property. This is why we would recommend at least two commercial gutter cleans a year. Contact us now to book in your commercial gutter clean service or to get a free, no obligation quote.

Overtime commercial gutters fill up with dirt and leaves and they can become blocked.

This can cause structural damage to your commercial property too.

Keeps Damp Away

As commercial gutters become blocked water will penetrate the roofs.

This will increase water absorption of your building which can result in damp interiors.

Water will also fall over the side of the blocked commercial guttering and accumulate in available space.

This could result in unsightly puddles around your commercial property.

Neighbours and business owners are keen to ask the experts and we are more than happy to explain.

The Seasons 

The seasons of the year do affect your guttering and when you should get your gutters cleaned.

We came across some research recently that we wanted to share with you, it reports on the chances of blockages during different times of the year.

The research shows that in spring there is a 50% chance of gutter blockages, in summer this goes up to a 75% of guttering blockages.

In autumn the chances of a blockage in your guttering is at its highest, at 85% and this drops back down to an 80% chance of blockages in your gutter in winter.

We are often surprised at the things we find in gutters, from dogs toys to Stanley knives.

The most common debris found during gutter cleaning is grass, weeds, silt and leaves.

Dependent on where your home is and what is around it will depend on when and how often you should book a gutter clean in Peterborough. Read our blog on the signs you need your gutters emptying here.

For example, if your home is out in the woods and large trees cover your house then you will need more regular gutter cleans.

This ensures those broken branches, twigs and leaves are out of your gutters reducing the risk of blockages and damaged guttering.
