Whitchurch Lane Enterprise Park might seem tucked away in the suburbs of South Bristol, but there is nothing discreet about these exceptional light industrial units.
Designed to offer specialist contractors fit-for-purpose spaces to support Bottle Yard Studios – the vibrant, neighbouring TV & Film Production facility – the units were built to a high specification and to BREEAM standards.
They certainly look the part, and it’s hardly a surprise that maintaining the exterior is not a nice to have – it’s an obligation.
But it is not an easy task.
Working with Hartnell Taylor Cook, we developed a proposal and schedule to make sure the new units will always look at their best for years to come. An annual deep clean of the exterior will be supported by a six-monthly maintenance clean, focussing on windows and any challenges that arise, including managing rust.
We recently completed our first annual clean, where our knowledge and expertise, as well as the relatively new condition of the units, meant that the clean itself was, for us, relatively challenge free.
With no particularly nasty contaminants to tackle, we used our Reach & Wash service to clean the glass, including potentially hard-to-reach skylights and solar panels, while our Pressure Washing service was the perfect solution for the vast metal-clad exterior.
As is often the way with large buildings, certain areas can prove tricky to reach, and with no clear access to the back of these units, keeping the rear up to scratch could have posed a significant challenge.
But not only is our team highly skilled and fully qualified in accessing high and hard-to-reach areas, our Multitel MZ350 Cherry Picker Truck – with its versatile platform operating at heights of up to 35.5m and outreaching up to 20m – helped us to overcome a potential hurdle hassle free.
When the clean was complete, the units were ready to withstand another six months of notorious West Country weather.

OneFifty has recently completed a sizeable exterior cleaning project for Hillcroft Surgery Supplies, a Yeovil-based company.
The company set up in 2005 to supply GP surgeries with a range of medical supplies and has steadily expanded over time. Having outgrown its previous building the company had decided to move to a new, larger premises to support planned future growth. The new site consists of two detached steel framed warehouses, one of which is configured to provide both warehousing, office facilities and a canteen. As well as providing much needed additional space for storing supplies, the warehouses also offer easy vehicle loading via adjustable raised dock loading doors.
The two warehouses had been vacant for some time and were looking quite the worse for wear, so the directors decided to have them completely refurbished prior to moving in.
The pale grey metal cladding on both buildings was badly stained with a combination of algae and atmospheric pollution, while the corrugated roof harboured a thick layer of moss and algae. In addition, the gutters of both buildings were completely blocked with a build up of debris and silt, which caused them to overflow whenever it rained. Overflowing gutters can cause serious damage to a buildings structure so the situation needed to be addressed.
Our experienced operatives know the best ways to tackle algae staining and clear clogged up drains. We started by cleaning the roof to remove moss and algae, then cleared the blocked gutters by removing debris and silt. This allowed water to flow along the gulleys, and down and away from the building.
We then gave the warehouse cladding a thorough clean using pressurised steam to remove the algae, and kill off algae spores. This was followed by the application of a biocide – a growth inhibitor that help forestall future attacks.
As can be seen from the images below the units looked fantastic once cleaned and our client was delighted with the outcome.
Our new Multitel 350 provided the extended outreach required to access and clean these large structures, helping us deliver a very efficient and cost-effective service. It helped ensure the project was completed within the required time frame, allowing Hillcroft Surgery Supplies to stay on schedule for their move.

We recently completed cleaning the gutters for Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital (QEH), an independent day school in Clifton, Bristol.
QEH, is housed in an impressive historic building located near Cabot Tower on Brandon Hill. The building, designed by local architects Foster and Son, dates from 1847 and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building, including the terrace steps and walls, and the lodge and gates.
We used our truck mounted cherry picker to reach the high guttering on the outside of the building and our gutter vacuum for the lower level guttering in the interior courtyard.
The school also needed some high level maintenance work done in the interior courtyard which has no vehicle access. We had suggested using ropes to reach and carry out this work as this would be a quick and cost efficient solution and the school. The school was delighted with the idea, and the work was approved and carried out to suit the their preferred timings.
One Fifty had been recommended to QEH and we had previously carried out other small cleaning projects for the school including removing slippery paint markings from the tarmac driveway leading up to the building. Their operations manager had been very pleased with both the standard of our work and the speed and efficiency of our delivery, which is why they had invited us back to quote for the gutter cleaning project.
We were delighted to have this opportunity and keen to meet their expectations. Our experienced IRATA and IPAF qualified operators carried out the high level gutter cleaning safely and efficiently, leaving the gutters clear of debris and able to perform the job of carrying water down and away from the building structure.
The operations manager was impressesd by our approach to tackling the challenge of accessing the high level maintenance work in the courtyard, as well as the quality of our work. We look forward to being invited back to carry out more external cleaning projects for QEH in the future.
