SeeForth looks after a student accommodation building on Newmarket Road under a two-year planned maintenance contract, and covers Cambridge and the villages around it for window cleaning, gutter clearance, render cleaning and fire risk assessments. We work up the M11 from London, EC2.
Request a quoteEvery area page on this site is built on work we have actually done there. In Cambridge that is one building on a planned maintenance contract, visited three times so far.
Newmarket Road, Cambridge
All elevations of a student accommodation building, cleaned for the facilities management company under a two-year planned maintenance contract. Booked for the first week of September, after the summer changeover and before the new intake arrived.
Newmarket Road, Cambridge
Balcony gutter channels, flat roof outlets and hopper heads cleared on every elevation. The March visit found compacted leaves and silt, standing water behind blocked outlets and displaced dome strainers, all cleared by IRATA-trained technicians on ropes with portable anchors. Read the Cambridge case study.
The next window cleaning and rainwater visits for the building are already booked under the contract.
Reach and wash from the ground up to five storeys, rope access or MEWPs above that, and internal glass by hand. Student blocks, offices, labs and colleges. See mid rise and high rise window cleaning.
Gutters, balcony channels, hoppers and flat roof outlets cleared before the autumn leaves block them, with photographs of what came out. See rainwater clearance.
Soft washing at low pressure for render, cladding and stone, so the finish comes clean without damage. See cladding and render cleaning.
Annual testing and certification of roof anchors so rope access visits can go ahead without a delay. See eyebolt testing.
Slipped tiles, ridge work and bird proofing where pigeons have colonised a roof or a plant deck. See roof repairs.
Student accommodation, blocks of flats, HMOs and offices, assessed by IFSM registered Level 6 assessors. See fire risk assessments.
The city centre and the colleges. Newmarket Road, Chesterton and the Science Park. Addenbrooke's and the Biomedical Campus. Trumpington, Sawston, Stapleford and the villages south of the city. Ely, Newmarket and Huntingdon. Saffron Walden and the M11 corridor down to Harlow, which we cover from our Essex page.
Yes. Our office is at 86-90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE, and Cambridge is a straight run up the M11. Where a visit can be paired with other work on the route, or a client has more than one building, the travel comes off the price.
Fixed visits through the year for the work the building needs, usually external window cleaning and rainwater goods clearance, with dates agreed in advance, the same crew where possible and a photographic report after each visit. The Newmarket Road building is on a two-year contract of that kind.
Yes. Balcony channels are usually out of reach of a MEWP, so our IRATA-trained technicians clear them on ropes from the roof, using portable anchors where the building has no fixed ones. That is how the Newmarket Road channels were cleared in March 2026.
The summer break, or the first days of September after the changeover and before the new intake. The Newmarket Road external clean was booked for the first week of September for that reason.
Yes. We use purified water fed through carbon fibre poles with soft brush heads and no detergent, which is the method conservation officers prefer on stone and timber. Vehicle restrictions in the centre mean an early start.
Yes. Both of our assessors are IFSM registered and hold the NSA Level 6 Diploma. Student accommodation, blocks of flats, HMOs and offices are all within scope, and we can pair an assessment with a maintenance visit.
