Blocked or neglected gutters can lead to serious water ingress issues, costly building repairs, and even structural damage. At Heightsafe, we specialise in Commercial Gutter Cleaning for industrial, retail, and large-scale commercial properties across the UK.
With our unique combination of work at height expertise, specialist equipment, and fully trained operatives, we deliver safe, efficient, and cost-effective gutter cleaning that ensures your property stays protected year-round.
Building Maintenance Units (BMUs) are critical for safe façade access, window cleaning, and exterior building maintenance. If a BMU isn’t properly maintained or tested, the risk of mechanical failure, structural issues, or unsafe operation increases dramatically. Regular servicing and compliance inspections reduce downtime, ensure safety, and extend operational life.
> Enhanced safety and reliability of your façade access systems
> Increased operational uptime and fewer emergency breakdowns
> Compliance assurance for regulators, insurers, and audits
> Clear, documented reports and transparency in system condition
> Extended service life and better return on investment
> Routine Compliance Inspections & Testing
Every six months (or more frequently depending on usage), we perform detailed testing to ensure your BMU systems—including davit arms and travel mechanisms—meet legal and manufacturer standards.
> Certification & Reporting
After each inspection, we provide full certification, tag systems appropriately, and supply detailed reports with recommendations for any remedial work needed.
> Preventive & Corrective Maintenance
We carry out preventive servicing—lubrication, adjustments, inspection of cables and brakes—and remedial repairs when defects or wear are detected. This helps prevent failure and costly emergency interventions.
> Tailored Maintenance Plans
Your building’s design, façade access frequency, and environment influence wear and stress on the BMU system. We customise preventative maintenance schedules to match your specific needs.
> Technical Support & Upgrades
If your BMU needs modernisation or integration with new roof and façade systems, we provide assessments, upgrades, and support to maintain safety and efficiency.
> Deep Experience & Expertise
With over 50 years of combined industry experience, our operatives are specialists in façade access, access systems, and work-at-height compliance.
> Standards-Driven Compliance
We align our servicing with standards such as BS EN 1808, BS EN 6037, and LOLER regulations (including BS EN 7985).
> Proactive & Preventive Approach
Rather than just reacting to issues, we aim to identify early signs of wear or failure before they become costly problems—keeping your BMU safe and operational.
> Single-Source Solution
In addition to BMU maintenance, we provide related façade access, system design, compliance testing, and roof-access services—offering you a full spectrum of support.
