From the vehicle we have a 196ft reach and many different lances and additional equipment to select from for the appropriate job that we need to do.

Blocked gutters and down pipes can prove to be a costly problem at your home or business. Damp, water ingress, interior and external building damage as well as algae growth can all be attributed to blocked gutters and resolving these issues will cost you a lot more than the cost of getting your gutters cleaned. A high proportion of insurance claims for flood damage inside houses is due to blocked gutters so regular gutter clearance can save you money. ECS has invested in the very latest gutter clearance equipment so that we can clear gutters efficiently and safely from the ground, without the need for expensive access equipment.
Moss, algae and lichen growth on roofs is perceived sometimes as quaint or successful conservation but it can be very damaging to the roof and general building fabric. Roofs covered in moss are also likely to be well into their predicted life span: Aggressively cleaning ageing roof surfaces or pressure washing them is definitely not advisable and this method of cleaning can sometimes cause more damage than you started with. The photograph above shows a black roof going back to its native red. The owner thought that they had bought a house with a black roof with some moss on it!
