When it comes to gutter cleaning, we at Urban Gutters don’t limit ourselves.
We take on a wide range of challenging jobs which come under various categories. Stand alone domestic houses of all shapes, sizes and heights! Strata complexes that may be made up of multiple apartments and townhouses. Commercial properties, such as warehouses and shops (We’ve serviced a number of shop awnings lately!)
In addition, we take great pride in servicing our numerous school customers in both the Sydney and Canberra areas.
Carrying out gutter cleaning of schools in Canberra and gutter cleaning schools in Sydney are a unique undertaking, as they are usually a large network of multiple buildings, all ranging in size and access difficulty.
The work is always carried out during school holidays for health and safety purposes. No children on site also makes the process of transporting our gutter vacuuming equipment around that bit easier. Gutter vacuuming a school is a big job!
The debris we remove is pretty standard - Leaves and branches that have fallen from the trees scattered about the school grounds. There is for one major difference in our roof located findings unique to these 'temples of education'.
Balls.
The number of balls found in school gutters is truly astonishing. All different types, shapes and uses. Footballs, soccer balls, tennis balls, cricket balls, rugby balls…
Yes, a miss-kick or over enthusiastic throw leads to these (mostly) spherical pieces of sports equipment settling on to roofs and gutters until we make our regular ascent and carefully release them down to the playgrounds below.
A very necessary operation it is too. Not only do we have the joy (once term time begins and they return to the fountain of knowledge) of reuniting young people with their beloved sporting article, but removing balls from gutters and downpipes prevents severe blockages which can cause serious damage to school buildings.
This particular part of the gutter clean is carried out in the old fashioned, manual style. The majority of the leaf and mud debris clean is carried out with our industrial gutter vacuum.
All the mess is taken away, leaving clean, clear gutters ready for a new term… and a fresh shower of balls.
