The UK’s Trusted Gutter Cleaning Professionals
APT ICC provides professional gutter cleaning services across England and Wales, helping organisations protect their buildings from water ingress, damp issues, and long-term structural damage. Gutter cleaning focuses on the safe and thorough removal of debris, moss, and organic build-up from gutters, downpipes, and roof drainage systems.
The service is sometimes referred to as commercial gutter cleaning or industrial gutter maintenance. While the terminology may vary, the purpose remains the same: to keep rainwater flowing freely away from the building. When gutters become blocked, water can overflow and cause damage to roof edges, walls, facias, and internal spaces if left unresolved.
APT ICC carries out gutter cleaning on a wide range of buildings, including hospitals, public-sector facilities, commercial properties, and industrial sites. Cleaning can be carried out on single-storey or multi-storey buildings using safe access systems appropriate to the structure and site conditions. Where required, works can also include the cleaning of downpipes, facias, and surrounding roof edges.
In addition to debris removal, APT ICC can apply biocidal treatments to control moss and organic growth on roofs and within gutter systems. This helps reduce the rate of re-growth and supports longer-lasting results between cleaning visits. All works are planned to suit live environments, ensuring minimal disruption to building users and operations.
With over 35 years of experience, APT ICC is trusted to deliver gutter cleaning in sensitive and operational environments. Recent projects include gutter cleaning and roof moss treatment at Morriston Hospital and Singleton Hospital in Swansea, as well as biannual gutter maintenance across multiple buildings at Usk County Hall in Monmouthshire. All services are delivered under strict health, safety, and environmental controls, ensuring reliable, high-quality results across England and Wales.
“I would like to express my sincere thanks to APT for the excellent job they carried out at Tai Bach. The project was a much needed one and now that it is completed it has really helped to improve the look of the town. We have received many good comments from the public which is always a good sign.”
Kevin Hiller - Property Surveyor, Neath & Port Talbot Council
“We employed the services of APT to renovate a Grade 2 Listed Building. Under the directive of Cadw we were not allowed to use any wet process or chemicals within the interior of the building. APT used Soda Blasting on sandstone, brick, ceramic glazed tiles, metal work, paintwork on ceilings, coving, woodwork and ornate fixtures.
It was a great achievement to have one system for all the surfaces that needed cleaning and restoring and one that also ticked all the boxes of the environmental and conservation officers. The process saved us both time & money in being able to have just one company on site. We are very grateful to APT for their hard work on this project.”
Tim Luke - Gee Construction
“I would like to thank APT-ICC for their excellent work and assistance on the Barclays Bank project. They delivered the scheme and additional works on time and without issue thanks to Andrew and his team for all your extra effort, long hours and commitment. I look forward to using them on future renovations.”
Graham Lowe - Project Manager, Overbury Plc
“We have been receiving an overwhelming number of positive comments about the war memorial cleaning. Yesterday, during the small ceremony at the Penrallt column on the 1st World War anniversary, many expressed their appreciation for how splendid the memorial looks after the cleaning. We anticipate sharing photos on the internet page later this week. Additionally, we have shared your details with another person who serves as the clerk to two other local councils. Thank you once again for the exceptional work.”
Janice Davies - Gwynedd Council
Gutter cleaning keeps rainwater flowing away from the building as it should. Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow onto walls, roofs, and foundations. Over time, this can lead to leaks and costly damage.
Signs include overflowing water during rain, visible moss or plant growth, and staining on walls below the gutters. Gutters may also be blocked even if issues aren’t visible from the ground. Regular inspections help prevent problems.
Low-level gutters may sometimes be cleaned in-house. However, most commercial and industrial buildings require work at height and safe access systems. Using untrained staff can increase safety risks and lead to incomplete cleaning.
The safest approach depends on the building height and layout. Professional gutter cleaning uses controlled access methods such as specialist platforms or vacuum systems. This helps protect people, the building, and surrounding areas.
Yes. When gutters overflow, water can enter roof spaces or run down external walls. This can lead to damp issues, staining, and internal damage if left untreated.
This depends on the building location and surrounding environment. Sites near trees or exposed to heavy weather often need more frequent cleaning. Planned maintenance helps avoid unexpected blockages.
Yes. In addition to cleaning, biocidal treatments can be used to control moss and organic growth. APT ICC can advise on suitable professional-grade products, including those manufactured by APT Commercial Chemicals, used across England and Wales.
Yes. Professional gutter cleaning is regularly carried out on live sites with safety controls in place. Works are planned to minimise disruption to staff and building users.
