1. Inten Launch Reach, View and Clean
Maintaining Gutters and Fascias
For property owners and site managers the regular maintenance and cleaning of
high level external areas of buildings is essential. Clearing gutters, downpipes and
fascias all help to keep the structure in good condition, as well as looking smart.
Potential Damage
Leaving the clearing of gutters too late can end up causing real problems. Gutters
direct rainfall away from buildings to protect the outer skin of the property as
well as the foundations. If the gutters become blocked, the result is water running
down the walls of your building, causing damage and damp stains and often caus-
ing flooding on the ground.
Blocked gutters can become heavy from the extra weight of dirt and water which
can cause guttering to pull away from your fascia’s and in some cases fall from
the building completely.
The challenge in getting to regularly clean these higher level areas is the ability to
reach guttering on 2 and 3 storey buildings . The need to erect scaffolding or the
use of a high reach platform, such as a cherry-picker adds to the cost of mainte-
nance. For some buildings there is the added complication of limited access and
the difficulty of being able to safely set up either of the these support methods.
A New Cost Effective Solution
The Inten Reach, View and Clean system has revolutionised the cleaning of
gutters. Using a lightweight high reach pole attached to a powerful vacuum and a
Inten Benefits jet wash hose, we are able to access the guttering of commercial and domestic
Save over 20% premises directly from the ground.

Reduced H&S Risk Reach
Environmentally Friendly The pole is an aerospace alloy tube which allows us to reach second and third sto-
reys of buildings and access areas that may not be easily reached otherwise e.g.
over outbuildings, extensions, flower beds, unusual shaped buildings etc. The
Flexi End fitting will hold its shape, enabling the cleaning of any angle, vertical
or horizontal surface which is perfect for the cleaning of commercial guttering.
View
A camera is attached to the pole which is able to provide an elevated fine
detailed camera inspection/survey. This allows us to view and record before, dur-
ing and after Reach, View and Clean gutter cleaning, in real time.
The hand held screen provides instant playback of video action enabling the engi-
neers to assess exactly what needs to be done. It also provides us with the op-
portunity to provide before an after imagery, so you can be sure a thorough job
has been done.
For more complex jobs a survey can be undertaken to assess
the work necessary. This can be recorded on to a DVD so
you can actually see just what needs to be done.
2. The digital video recorder system is a purpose-built video capture device. Using
the latest in MPEG compression technology it records to SD memory cards, so
there are no tapes to buy or convert, allowing replay on the DVR monitor. Link
the DVR to a PC, burn a DVD and show the works on any suitable TV, player or PC.
Clean
Any heavily impacted soilage, rooted saplings etc. are broken up into manageable
sizes with the gutter spike, which is attached to the high reach pole.
The gutter is then cleaned by a very powerful vacuum removing leaves, sticks,
mud, pine needles and other debris that may be clogging gutters and spouts.
Finally we attach a high pressure jet washer hose with specially designed attach-
ments to allow high areas to be cleaned with no loss of pressure. Thoroughly rins-
ing gutters with clean water from top to bottom completes the process. Gutters
are left clean, functional, and ready to channel water away. This process guaran-
tees to remove 95% of all the leaves, weeds moss, dirt and debris.
Cladding, soffits, brick and stonework can also be easily cleaned, even high level
graffiti can be removed.
