IGM Exterior Cleaning Launches Website Highlighting Cherry Picker Access for High-Access Work

IGM Exterior Cleaning, a Teesside-based exterior cleaning business founded by Ray Spashett in 2016, has launched a new website that places its high-access capabilities at the forefront. The site explains how the firm uses its own cherry picker to clean and maintain properties at height, from tall homes to offices and industrial units, often eliminating the need for scaffolding. This development matters because it highlights a practical solution to a common challenge in exterior maintenance: safely reaching high areas without the time and expense of scaffolding.

Many exterior cleaning tasks are constrained by the reach of ladders or towers. Owning a cherry picker provides IGM with a stable, properly positioned platform that can be placed right up against a roof, gutter run, or high wall. This allows for quick access to high gable ends, multi-storey gutters, chimneys, render, cladding, and signage, bypassing the days of setup and takedown associated with scaffolding. The new cherry picker and high-access services page details how this works for both homes and commercial buildings.

Owner Ray Spashett commented, "The jobs people struggle to get done are nearly always the ones up high. Having our own cherry picker means we can get right up to a gutter, a roof or a gable end safely, without anyone waiting on scaffolding. The new website shows exactly what that access makes possible, whether it is a house or a commercial building."

The website outlines specific high-access services, including gutter, fascia, and soffit cleaning on tall or awkward properties; high-level roof cleaning and moss removal; solar panel cleaning on roofs that a water-fed pole cannot reach; cherry picker hire with a MEWP-qualified operator for roofers, builders, signwriters, and tree surgeons; and render, cladding, and brick cleaning at height. Because the operator comes with the machine, trades using the hire service do not need their own IPAF licence. On commercial sites, IGM adheres to the site's safety requirements and provides RAMS on request.

Alongside high-access work, the site covers IGM's residential services, from driveways and patios to block paving and conservatories, and a commercial services section for offices, landlords, and property managers. IGM has traded across Teesside since 2016 and is insured. Ray Spashett is a MEWP-qualified cherry picker operator and still prices every job himself after visiting the property. Recent high-access work includes the historic 1689 building on Finkle Street in Stockton-on-Tees, where IGM worked from its cherry picker for Hartburn Roofing on a busy town-centre street. Roof cleaning uses a low-pressure rotary wash angled down the pitch, finished with biocide and backed by a 12-month no-regrowth guarantee.

Every job starts with a site visit and a free, no-obligation quote, with the price confirmed before work begins. IGM covers the whole of Teesside, including Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Redcar, Yarm, Guisborough, and Billingham. Homeowners, businesses, and trades can request a quote through the contact page. The launch of this website underscores IGM's commitment to transparency and safety in high-access cleaning, potentially setting a benchmark for other exterior maintenance providers in the region.
