When we mobilised the Specialist Cleaning contract for BCP Council, our goal was simple: deliver fast, reliable, high-quality services from day one – and demonstrate a standard of performance that genuinely adds value to the Bournemouth community.

Just a few months into the contract, we’re proud to share that gutter cleaning has now been formally added to our service provision.
This addition isn’t just an expansion of scope – it’s a direct acknowledgement of the consistency, precision, and pace with which our team has been delivering across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Performance That Drives Trust
From the outset, our operational model has outperformed expectations.

We have:
– Achieved 99% plus KPI compliance across all SLAs (urgent, reactive and scheduled specialist cleans).
– Delivered turnaround times significantly faster than the contractual requirements.
– Responded to urgent requests rapidly – reducing safety risks and preventing property damage.
– Maintained zero service failures, backed by strong quality assurance and real-time monitoring.

This level of performance has created significant confidence – and with confidence comes additional responsibility.

Expanding Into Gutter Cleaning: Why It Matters
Gutters are one of the most overlooked components of property maintenance, yet blocked or damaged gutters can quickly escalate into:

– Water ingress
– Damp and mould
– Structural deterioration
– Increased responsive repair costs

By adding gutter cleaning into our Specialist Cleaning framework, BCP Council strengthens its proactive maintenance strategy – reducing long-term repair burdens and improving safety and comfort across homes, communal buildings and corporate sites.

Investment in Industry-Leading Equipment
To deliver this safely, efficiently and at scale, we have invested in advanced equipment and additional trained operatives, including:

🔹 High-reach gutter vacuum systems
Capable of cleaning gutters up to several storeys high from ground level, reducing the need for ladders and significantly improving safety.

🔹 Real-time camera inspection technology
Allows us to provide clear pre- and post-cleaning evidence, supporting transparency and audit trails.

🔹 Enhanced safety and access tools
Suitable for complex rooflines, sheltered schemes, sloped areas and challenging architectural structures.

🔹 Additional specialist operatives
Trained specifically in high-level cleaning, gutter safety protocols, confined workspaces and responsive maintenance.

These investments ensure that every gutter clean is carried out effectively, safely and with full compliance to industry and council standards.

A Partnership Built on Performance
For us, this extension reinforces an important principle: Strong performance leads to stronger partnerships.

When a local authority trusts you to deliver, communicates openly with your team, and sees your operatives consistently solving problems before they escalate – you become more than a contractor. You become a trusted partner of progress.

This is the standard we commit to across every contract, and we’re proud that BCP Council recognises this.

Looking Ahead
Our commitment remains the same:

✔ Deliver services that are safe, efficient, and compliant
✔ Invest in our people and our technology
✔ Provide transparent, evidence-based reporting
✔ Respond rapidly to protect residents and assets
✔ Add value beyond the baseline contract requirements

We are proud of our team, proud of the momentum we’ve built, and proud to be raising the standard across the BCP conurbation.

There is SO much more to come from this contract. With our scale, expertise and results, our aim is to become the contractor that delivers the greatest impact across the BCP region.
