Gutter Repairs
Gutter and rainwater systems are one of the weakest parts of a building's defences, it is therefore essential that gutter maintenance is not overlooked
The images below show a step-by-step guide to a typical gutter repair process
Repair and Refurbishment
Standing water can cause the pitting and corrosion of steel gutters, which in turn can result in disruptive water ingress and building fabric damage; our solutions in iclude the use of products such as Delcote HPG and Seamsil 300 which are designed to preserve commercial gutter and rainwater systems.
- Prevents water ingress
- Prevents more serious problems
- Improves the life span of rainwater systems
In Detail
We are approved contractors for the Giromax Delcote refurbishment and re-lining systems. Delcote HPG is a liquid applied elastomeric silicone membrane which cures to form a tough protective coating for the re-lining of metal, concrete and asbestos gutter and rainwater systems.
Seamsil 300 is a Silicone based system designed specifically for externally sealing joints of Galvanised Steel, Aluminium, Concrete and Asbestos Cement gutters.
Delcote HPG is a liquid applied elastomeric silicone membrane with excellent vapour breathing properties which cures to form a tough protective coating and ideally suited to preserve most commercial gutter and rainwater systems.
Delcote HPG is normally applied without the need to prime and is suitable for application once surfaces are clean, dry and corrosion free.
Ongoing leak problems originating from the gutter joint detail can easily be addressed with Seamsil 300 Specification, particularly in situations where the existing defective joint cannot be broken and re-assembled, the silicone systems adopts the same principle as the Seamsil 100 repair of sheet edge corrosion in achieving an externally applied fully flexible seal.
Gutter Cleaning
We offer reactive services to clean out blocked gutters or tailor-made service contracts.
Regular gutter cleaning can prevent and will protect property from water damage and ensure your gutters last to their full expected life span.
Key reasons for Gutter Cleaning;
We provide photographic reports after all cleaning projects, which will identify any additional recommended maintenance.
- Prevents water damage to the property
- Helps to reduce corroding surfaces and rusting
- Keeps your property looking good so it reflects well on your company
- Helps to extend the life of your drainage system by preventing cracks and splits
In Detail
Gutter systems are prone to collecting silt, debris and vegetation at anytime of the year, safe and affordable access is the key to ensuring cost effective maintenance programs.
With our 24 hour emergency service, and immediate access to our extensive range of truck mounted access platforms we are well equipped to deal with the blocked gutters, outlets and rainwater downpipes in a timely maanner.
Gutter Re-Lining
We supply and install re-lining sysetms such as Plygene and Unifold.
The images below detail the Plygene and Unifold gutter lining systems.
Relining products
Plygene and Unifold are fully engineered rubberised products which are designed for each specific lining application. Both systems create a totally sealed, fully waterproof solution to failed or corroded gutters.
- Can be used on any type of gutter old or new
- Can be fitted in most weather conditions, even the wet
- Full range of standard and custom mange outlet fitting
- 20 year guarantee
In Detail
Unifold is a gutter lining system that is rigid in use and as the name suggests, is able to fold, using system hinges, allowing access to the gutter cavity and then re-open, to maximise the available space within. It has an exceptional life span, well in excess of 30 years and is guaranteed for a period of 20 years including the installation.
Unifold is manufactured from an EPDM membrane that is pressure bonded to galvanised and coated steel substrate. During this process the hinges are formed, which are the essence of the system's unique flexibility. They provide the ability to enter the most difficult of gutter cavities, maximising the available space. The resulting laminate forms a composite sheet to the required girth that is then press formed to the correct profile.
Similarly the Plygene Gutterline system is incredibly hard-wearing and carries a 20 year guarantee. It is pliable enough to mould to any gutter profile and will tolerate changes in temperatures and building movement without splitting or cracking.
Health & Safety
At High Access we really know the importance of health and safety in the work place.
The images below detail some of the specialist equipment we use to provide safe means access and adaquate fall protection when working at height.
Working at Height
Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury and the second most common cause of injury to employees, accounting for 10% of all such injuries. As a result, in April 2005 the HSE produced the new Working at Height regulations.
Health and Safety at High Access
We carry out site-specific risk assessments prior to any works commencing and submit a detailed method statement and risk assessment pack for every project.
We are audited and accredited by SafeContractor the fastest growing health and safety accreditation scheme in the UK, dedicated to promoting higher standards of competence and compliance.
Our operatives are trained via the IPAF training programme and issued with a PAL card. The PAL Card (Powered Access License) is recognised worldwide across industries as proof of platform operator training to the highest standard.
