SIPHONIC Maintenance
Planned preventative maintenance
Siphonic and gravity rainwater drainage systems will only work to their full design capacity, when they are suitably maintained.
Poor maintenance can result in blockages, broken bracketry systems and rainwater ingress, with the potential for catastrophic damage to the building and its contents.
To ensure rainwater is drained efficiently from the gutters/roof area, periodic planned preventative maintenance is recommended, which should consist of inspection and cleaning of the Siphonic outlets/baffles and gutters in accordance with recommendations in BS8490:2025 (Guide to Siphonic Roof Drainage).
At West Siphonics Systems Ltd, we use our extensive knowledge and experience of Siphonic & Gravity rainwater management systems, to provide planned preventative maintenance packages that give our clients peace of mind, knowing their rainwater goods are maintained to the highest standards.
These premises had not had their Siphonic drainage and Gutters maintained in over a year. A lack of regular maintenance resulted in this vegetation and debris blocking the Primary Siphonic drainage outlets, reducing the gutters capacity and close to overspilling inside the unit.
EXPERIENCED SiPHONICS Maintenance
Refurbishment projects
Siphonic drainage systems have been used in the UK for around 40 years. At West Siphonics Systems Ltd we recognise that as buildings come towards the end of their designed lifespan, the need to upgrade and refurbish gutters and Siphonic drainage systems, to keep them functioning correctly is essential.
Renewing gutters and Siphonic drainage outlets can give another 20 years peace of mind and worry-free drainage to your premises.
Remedial works were undertaken on these premises by a company with very little knowledge of Siphonic drainage. They bypassed the Siphonic drainage outlets, resulting in a smaller diameter opening and no Siphonic baffles. The result of this, meant the gutters topped regularly and the premises were blighted by rainwater ingress.
West Siphonics Systems Ltd overlayed the existing gutters with a prefabricated light-weight self-supporting metal composite insulated gutter, with a fully bonded continuous PVC membrane lining to the water-carrying surface. Together with new West Siphonics Systems Ltd outlets, this left our client with a watertight gutter and fully functioning Siphonic drainage system.
Our teams of dedicated roofing maintenance engineers are fully proficient in Siphonic drainage, so there are no corners cut or mistakes made through lack of knowledge.
