Why gully clearing matters

Blocked gullies can cause:

  • Surface water flooding
  • Slippery or unsafe conditions in car parks and roads
  • Damage to underlying drainage systems
  • Operational disruption for commercial sites

Routine gully maintenance keeps water flowing freely, protects properties, and helps avoid costly repairs.

Our approach

Shanahan Contracting Ltd delivers a professional, thorough service:

  • Inspection – Assess gullies for blockages and silt build-up
  • Clearing & Emptying – Remove leaves, silt, debris, oils, and other waste with specialist tankers and equipment
  • Verification – Ensure gullies are fully cleared and draining correctly
  • Advice – Recommend maintenance schedules and preventative measures to reduce future blockages

Our approach ensures gullies are cleared efficiently, safely, and in line with environmental regulations.
