Glass & Gutter Cleaning
Cleaning the glass and gutters in commercial glasshouses regularly is a crucial part of looking after your greenhouse plants. We are experts in cleaning greenhouse roofs and gutters in the horticulture sector and travel all over the UK to make sure growers, nurseries, and garden centres can continue to provide the optimal environment for their plant stock all year round.
Commercial Glasshouse Glass Cleaning
When the correct amount of care and maintenance is provided, your commercial glasshouse will last for decades. Although shiny when new, varying weather conditions dictate this won’t last.
It’s recommended to clean your glasshouse roof and glass side panels at least once a year to make sure you provide your greenhouse crops with sufficient natural light.
Maintaining the cleanliness of your greenhouse glass is not only important for adequate light transmission and natural heat; it’s key to ensuring no unwanted bacteria and pests can enter and thrive in your greenhouse. Algae and moss growth, dust, dirt, debris, and water deposits can accumulate on the glass of your glasshouse roof and your glass side panels, providing the perfect environment for bacteria growth which could upset your greenhouse climate control. Any dirt on your glass can trap moisture and result in mildew and fungal growth; this will contaminate your glasshouse crops and can be detrimental to your yield.
We’re experts in accessing your glass roofs. We use specialised glasshouse access equipment, such as the gutter walking aid to ensure the cleaning process is done safely and no damage is caused to your structure. With our commercial glasshouse cleaning services, you can be assured that your glass will be dirt-free and shiny once again, letting the natural light into your greenhouse.
Clean Before You Shade
With a clean commercial glasshouse roof your plant stock gets direct access to sunlight and natural heat. This is a good thing…unless your crop doesn’t thrive under these conditions. Applying a shading agent to your glasshouse roof will help reduce the influx of sunlight and protect against crop burn, and help you achieve a more controlled climate inside your greenhouse.
Cleaning your glass roofs is an essential step in the shading process if you want it to be effective.
We offer both manual and drone-operated glasshouse shading services to growers, nurseries and garden centres with commercial glasshouses all over the UK.
Shading agent is washed off gradually overtime whenever it rains, but if you need it removed sooner, we can clean off the shading agent in no time, using our XAG drone.
Commercial Greenhouse Gutter Cleaning
In-keeping with ensuring your glasshouse stands the test of time, we provide commercial gutter cleaning services to the horticulture sector all over the UK. Clean greenhouse gutters are crucial to maintaining the structure and foundation of your growing environment.
If your gutters get clogged, you run the risk of structural damage caused by water overflow to everything from your roof, gables, sides, downpipes, drainage system, and the foundation of your glasshouse. This damage can cause leaks in your glasshouse, which can lead to root-rot, and it can erode the soil around it, causing the overall glasshouse structure to become less stable. Water-overflow as well as trapped water can expand or freeze (depending on the weather conditions), leading to cracks in your greenhouse gutters.
If there’s a leak, there’s a gap…Any cracks or gaps in your greenhouse structure will cause heat to escape and let rain, cold air, and insects into your climate-controlled environment. Clogged commercial greenhouse gutters also attract pests and bacteria you don’t want to introduce into your greenhouse climate, so maintaining your gutters regularly will keep you energy-efficient, avoid costly repairs, and help you achieve your desired crop yield.
In addition to cleaning glass and commercial gutters, we’re specialists in carrying out maintenance and repairs on any type of greenhouse. We can fit aluminium gutters, paint your gutters to make them look new and rust-resistant, and more…
