Why tenement gutters in Glasgow are different
A tenement isn't a big house. The gutters are high, shared and often hard to reach, and a blockage hurts every flat below it.
- Four storeys upToo high for ladders, so we use poles from the ground or a tracked platform.
- Shared guttersOne blocked gutter spills over the whole close, not just one flat.
- Back-court accessThe rear gutters are reached through the close or the back court, so we check that first.
- Sandstone and cast ironOld stone and cast iron gutters suffer when water runs down the wall. Damp follows.
How we clear tenement gutters in Glasgow without ladders

- Vacuum poles — leaves, moss and silt are drawn up the pole into the tank, not pushed down the downpipe.
- Tracked access platform — for gutters higher than the poles reach, up to four storeys.
- No scaffolding, no ladders — so nothing leans on old gutters or sandstone.

Tenement gutter cleaning questions in Glasgow, answered
Do you use ladders on tenements?
No. Vacuum poles clear most tenement gutters from the ground. For taller or awkward closes, up to four storeys, we bring a tracked access platform instead of ladders. We confirm the method before quoting.
Do you need scaffolding to clean tenement gutters?
No. The vacuum poles and the tracked access platform replace scaffolding for cleaning. We check the street and back court access first, so we know which one suits your close.
Who arranges gutter cleaning for a shared tenement?
Tenement gutters are usually shared, so the owners, a residents' group or the factor normally arrange it together. Check your title deeds or ask your factor. We can send a clear quote and photos to pass round.
