We hold CHAS Elite accreditation and carry full public liability insurance, making us an approved contractor for local authority and housing association work across the region.
Our Road Sweeping Services
Construction Site Sweeping
Keeping construction sites and surrounding roads clear of mud, debris, and spoil. We work alongside developers and contractors to maintain compliance with local authority requirements and prevent mud on public highways.
New-Build Estate Sweeping
Pre-handover sweeping of new residential and commercial developments. We clear roads, footpaths, and drainage channels of construction debris, concrete slurry, and silt before residents move in.
Car Park Cleaning
Regular and one-off sweeping of car parks, retail parks, and commercial forecourts. We remove litter, leaves, silt, and debris — keeping surfaces clean and drainage channels clear.
Industrial Estate Sweeping
Scheduled sweeping contracts for industrial estates, business parks, and logistics hubs. We work around your operations to minimise disruption while keeping access roads and yard areas clean.
Highway & Road Sweeping
Road sweeping for private roads, estate roads, and public highways under local authority contract. We clear grit, leaves, litter, and debris from carriageways and footpaths.
Event Sweeping & Clearance
Post-event sweeping for festivals, markets, sporting events, and public gatherings. We mobilise quickly after events to restore roads and public spaces to a clean, safe condition.
Emergency Spillage Sweeping
Rapid response to road spillages, fly-tipping, and debris incidents. We attend quickly to clear hazardous material from carriageways and restore safe traffic flow.
Gully & Drainage Channel Cleaning
Combined sweeping and gully cleaning to prevent surface water flooding. Our jet vac units clean gullies and drainage channels at the same time as sweeping the road surface.
Our Road Sweeping Fleet
We operate a range of sweeping vehicles suited to different environments and job types — from compact machines for tight residential streets to large mechanical sweepers for open highways and industrial sites.
Mechanical Sweepers
High-capacity mechanical sweepers for open roads, industrial estates, and large car parks. Rotating brushes sweep debris into a central hopper — fast and effective for large surface areas.
Vacuum Sweepers
Vacuum sweepers use powerful suction to collect fine dust, silt, and debris that mechanical brushes miss. Ideal for new-build sites, car parks, and areas where dust suppression is important.
Compact Sweepers
Compact machines for narrow residential streets, footpaths, pedestrian areas, and sites with restricted access. Manoeuvrable enough to work where larger vehicles cannot reach.
Combination Jet Vac Units
Our jet vac units combine road sweeping with simultaneous gully cleaning — the most efficient solution when surface sweeping and drainage maintenance are both required.
