🚨 THIS IS WHY WE DON’T TAKE SHORTCUTS AT HEIGHT 🚨
This footage shows a worker falling through a fragile rooflight. In a split second, what started as a routine job could have become a fatality.
Every year, workers are killed or suffer life-changing injuries after falling through fragile surfaces. Rooflights, skylights and asbestos cement sheets are among the biggest dangers when working on roofs.
The question we should all be asking is:
❓ Was there a suitable and sufficient risk assessment?
❓ Was there a safe system of work?
❓ Were edge protection, covers, crawl boards or a MEWP considered?
❓ Were workers trained and supervised correctly?
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, employers have a legal duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to assess risks and implement suitable control measures before work begins.
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 are even more specific. They require work at height to be properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people. They also require employers to avoid work at height where possible and prevent falls wherever reasonably practicable.
A rooflight is not a safe place to stand.
A rooflight is a fragile surface.
A fragile surface should be treated as a hole.
No job, no deadline and no quote is worth a life.
As safety professionals we have a responsibility to challenge unsafe practices, educate others and ensure everyone goes home at the end of the day.
Remember: A RAMS document isn’t something to tick off in the van. It’s a document designed to stop incidents exactly like this from happening.
“People sometimes think health and safety is paperwork. It isn’t. Health and safety is the difference between going home for dinner or being carried off a site in an ambulance.”
I know some of the people carrying out this type of work will be reading this post right now.
This isn’t an attack. This isn’t me trying to score points.
This is me asking you to stop and think.
Fragile rooflights are not designed to take your weight. One wrong step and your life can change forever.
Please stop taking the risk.
Get the right equipment.
Get the right training.
Use the right access method.
Complete suitable RAMS.
Challenge unsafe instructions.
Most importantly, make sure you go home at the end of the day.
Your family doesn’t care whether the job was finished on time.
They care that you walk through the front door tonight.
Stop it. Be safe. Go home.

🍂 GUTTER CLEANING… one of the most overlooked jobs on a property… until it starts costing you money 💧🏠
Blocked gutters can lead to:
* overflowing water
* damp walls
* stained render
* rotting fascias & soffits
* slippery paths
* damage to foundations over time
The problem is most people don’t notice an issue until the heavy rain arrives 🌧️
At ProClean Direct we don’t just “empty gutters”… we approach work with a safety-led mindset.
✅ Which? Trusted Traders approved

✅ Fully insured
✅ SafeContractor approved

Don’t wait until water is pouring over the side of the gutters. 👀

🚨 BIRD PROOFING DONE PROPERLY 🚨
Another solar bird proofing job completed safely using a MEWP/cherry picker — because when you’re working at height and around electrics, “just getting up there” isn’t good enough.
Too many cowboy outfits are still climbing over roofs, standing on panels and throwing mesh on with zero understanding of:
⚠️ Working at Height Regulations
⚠️ Solar panel damage risks
⚠️ Pigeon guano health hazards
⚠️ Safe access equipment
⚠️ Electrical/DC risks around solar systems
At ProClean Direct we take a safety-led approach:
✅ MEWP/cherry picker access
✅ Fully insured (£10m liability)
✅ SafeContractor approved
✅ Which? Trusted Trader
✅ TechIOSH / AIIRSM qualified
✅ Professional bird proofing methods
✅ Risk assessments & safe systems of work
✅ Correct handling of pigeon guano contamination
Pigeons under solar panels aren’t just noisy either…
Their nesting materials and guano can trap moisture, block ventilation and, in some cases, birds can damage cables and interfere with MC4 connectors. Damaged wiring and compromised connections around DC solar systems can potentially increase the risk of electrical faults and even fires if left unchecked.
That’s why proper inspection, safe access and professional installation matters.
No cowboys.
No walking across your panels.
No “that’ll do mate” attitude.
Just professional, safe, compliant work carried out properly 👌

No cowboys allowed. Not on our jobs.
Let’s be honest… the market’s full of people watching a few YouTube videos and suddenly calling themselves “professionals.”

We’re:
✔️ Which? Trusted Trader
✔️ SafeContractor Approved
✔️ TechIOSH & professionally qualified
✔️ £10m Public and Employee liability insurance
We don’t cut corners.
We don’t “have a go.”
And we don’t learn on your property.

So if you want cheap, there’s plenty out there…

Roof cleaning — done the RIGHT way. Not the quick way.
Back on site at these villas to carry out manual moss removal following our initial steam clean to the ledges 👇
Here’s the truth most won’t tell you:
❌ Tile manufacturers do NOT recommend pressure washing roofs
✔️ It can strip protective coatings and shortens tile lifespan
So what do we do instead?
✔️ Careful manual moss removal (scrape method)
✔️ Application of professional-grade biocide
✔️ Targeting the biofilm, algae and regrowth at the root
✔️ Letting nature do the rest safely over time
All carried out using:
✔️ MEWP (cherry picker) access
✔️ Fully trained operatives
✔️ Safety-led approach backed by real qualifications (TechIOSH, NEBOSH, SMSTS)
No shortcuts. No damage. No nonsense.
