Safer gutter cleaning

This tool ends the hire of scaffold or cherry pickers and allows staff to clean gutters up to 4 storeys whilst standing at ground level.  A camera at the top of the pole provides live feed to a screen on the handle; so the operator can see the debris, witness its removal and can simultaneously record the procedure for others.

One of many Oxford schools and colleges that have invested in a SkyVac system is St Hugh’s College. Will Barton, building maintenance manager is responsible for a 14 acre site and accommodation for 800 students. All maintenance is carried out in- house. Previously his team used ladders, cherry pickers and scaffold towers for high level work.   

Will said: “My SkyVac system is designed with operator safety in mind which is most important to us. It is operational from ground level and the camera shows me the job before, during and on completion. It is versatile too - after a storm we cleared a flood, fast and efficiently because the vacuum has wet and dry capability. I can now maintain gutters and all high level interior and exterior cleaning as required without huge equipment hire costs.”
