Across the University of Cambridge’s extensive and historic estate, maintaining external drainage systems is essential to preserving centuries-old buildings. Blocked gutters and downpipes can lead to water ingress, structural damage, and expensive restoration work. Traditional cleaning methods often required scaffolding or lifts—disruptive, expensive, and unsuitable for many of the university’s architecturally sensitive and hard-to-reach locations.
Blocked gutters and downpipes across the historic campus posed maintenance challenges, water damage risks, and costly repair issues.
