Here is an example of some brilliant work our team completed on Threadneedle Street in Central London.

We provided a range of timber repair services and redecoration works, via rope access over the course of 10 weeks.

The timber window frames needed extensive external restoration, an issue which the client needed to rectify quickly due to the amount of water damage being done inside.

This is a Grade 2 listed building on Threadneedle Street, known for The London Stock Exchange and The Bank Of England. Built in 1902, the impressive age and history of this property suggest the timber window frames were well overdue for some TLC.

Whilst timber frames can last 30-40 years, regular inspection as part of a planned maintenance programme should be done every 5 years.

The wood of the frames was rotting, soft to the touch in some areas, meaning rainwater was permeating through them into the property and causing staining and internal damage.

Blowman was on site for us working closely with the property manager to trace the source of the water ingress so we could put a stop to it.

Without our rope access skills, this external damage wouldn't have been spotted due to the height of the windows.

Our abseiling capabilities also allowed us to complete this work without impacting the heavy footfall below or obstructing the narrow pavements.

We fully replaced some areas of wood and repaired others using hand-mixable epoxy putty. This putty dries as hard as the original wood and can be sanded and re-painted alongside the original timber.

Investing in timely maintenance not only preserves the integrity of historic properties but also prevents costly damage in the long run.

How did Spectrum save this client £20,000 on their Section 20 works?

It's all about smart access.

We were selected for a 8-week project at this residential property in Kingston, to handle external maintenance and repairs. This included repointing, timber frame repairs, roof cleaning, and stone restoration.

The key to saving £20,000?

Avoiding scaffolding.

Instead, we used a mix of rope access and cherry pickers to reach tricky areas, especially around the steeply pitched roofs.

Thanks to our years of experience with these access methods, we not only delivered high-quality, cost-effective results but also kept the project on schedule - minimising disruption for residents and avoiding unnecessary costs like scaffolding.

When it comes to Section 20 works, the right access methods make all the difference.

One of the reasons this client chose us was because of our access skills.

Our in-house MEWP and rope access experience meant that we could provide a range of property maintenance services quickly and efficiently in a single visit.

At this development in central London with several blocks, our versatile abseil team carried out:
- Timber care repairs
- Window repairs & replacements
- Facade maintenance
- Redecoration and minor repairs throughout
- Facade landscaping via abseil

With no need for scaffolding, we moved swiftly around the site using rope access, reducing disruption and costs.

By handling everything in-house, we gave our client the benefit of a streamlined process, fewer contractors to manage, and the assurance that all tasks were completed to the highest standards.

This site came with its fair share of challenges. It wasn’t straightforward, but it was a testament to our commitment to do whatever it takes to ensure client satisfaction.

We also showed our flexibility in working closely with the client to achieve what’s best for the building.

Impressive results down in Lancing, West Sussex! 🏡

This render property in Lancing, West Sussex was in desperate need of some TLC.

The render hadn't been cleaned since the property was built, leading to some frankly impressive levels of staining.

Our team provided a range of external cleaning and repair services over the course of 1 week, including:

Extensive render cleaning and treatments
Repairs to the guttering brackets and downpipes
Gutter and soffit cleaning
Brick cleaning on the algae covered walls

By handling all these services in-house, we streamlined the entire process - saving the client time and ensuring top-quality results across the board.

This resulted in a property that looks as good as new and a client who couldn’t be happier with the refreshed appearance!

"We were so pleased with the quick turnaround and lack of disruption caused by Spectrum"

If your rendered property is dirty beyond recognition, get in touch!

😲 Santa emailed his sleigh has broken!

Don't worry we lent him our Cherry Picker.

The gifts might be a little broken but at least they'll get there on time!

We're normally doing leak detection or building repairs with this machine...

but when Santa calls you have to oblige. 🎅

We don't want to end up on the naughty list!

Don't panic and don't tell the kids (It might ruin the magic) ✨

We want to wish our clients a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

This client had been told by another contractor that the building’s guttering and other areas of the roof were inaccessible.

As a result, the site had not had its gutters cleaned for several years. We were asked to put together a strategy for clearing the gutters, and we had them cleared in no time.

Thanks to our team of IRATA-qualified abseilers. 💪

This painted masonry facade requires regular cleaning due to heavy pollution staining.

Situated on a busy road opposite Hyde Park, this property requires first-floor level cleaning every 3 months and complete facade cleaning every 6 to maintain its beautiful cream finish.

As this property is painted, the temptation could be to paint over any discolouration.

But if you were to paint over carbon staining, the paint would flake away with time and weathering, and your stained surface beneath would start to peek through.

So painting would be a very short-term solution, causing more hassle than having the property cleaned by professionals to begin with.

Spectrum is well-equipped to clean properties like this and regularly produces impressive before and after results.

Our speed and service quality keep this client (and their residents) excited for their next Spectrum visit.

Enter Spectrum Specialist Support.

We use specialist cleaning products and methods to remove stubborn staining without causing any damage to stone surfaces.

These techniques help property owners maintain fresh and professional buildings. Even small changes such as having the grouting jet washed can hugely improve the overall appearance of your property.
