Road Sweepers Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire moves fast—new housing phases at Northstowe, logistics hubs by the A14, busy science parks around Cambridge, and historic centres that must stay spotless for residents and visitors. When dirt, spoil, and debris slow any of that down, you need a partner who turns “we’ve got a mess” into “it’s sorted” without fuss. That’s exactly what Yorks Sweeper Hire Ltd does across the county. If you’re searching for Road Sweepers in Cambridgeshire, you’re in the right place.

We provide modern sweepers, experienced operators, and responsive scheduling for construction, civils, utilities, local authorities, and FM teams. We also work with a wide range of professional services—yes, even accountants in Cambridgeshire managing commercial property portfolios who need a dependable, compliant contractor to keep client sites inspection‑ready.

What We Do (and Why It Works)

  • Road Sweeping & Construction Cleans: From daily builder’s cleans to end‑of‑project handover standards, our sweepers remove soil, aggregate, and fine dust so roads remain safe and neighbours stay happy.

  • Highway & Kerbline Sweeps: Ideal for keeping frontage roads, access routes, and estate kerbs free of silt and slip hazards, especially after heavy rain or deliveries.

  • Gully Sucking & Drain Clearance: Stopping floods before they start with targeted gully cleaning, catch‑pit emptying, and silt removal—perfect for retail parks, campuses, and industrial estates.

  • Jet Washing & Spot Cleans: Where a sweeper can’t reach, our pressure washing teams tackle stubborn spills, oil stains, and tight corners.

  • Waste Handling & Compliance: We transport and tip under the right codes with documented duty of care—so you’re covered for audits and client scrutiny.

Areas We Cover in Cambridgeshire

We operate county‑wide: Cambridge, Ely, Huntingdon, St Ives, St Neots, March, Whittlesey, Chatteris, Peterborough fringe, and the A1/A14 corridors. If your site sits on a border—say, into Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, or Suffolk—we’ll coordinate cross‑county support to keep things simple.

Why Contractors Choose Yorks

  1. Rapid Response: Same‑day and early‑morning slots to hit site windows, reduce downtime, and keep neighbours onside.

  2. Experienced Operators: Our drivers understand site rules, PPE, inductions, and the realities of tight programs.

  3. Modern Fleet: Suction and power‑broom sweepers with water suppression and in‑cab reporting to show what’s been done.

  4. Transparent Pricing: Clear day/half‑day rates, fuel and waste included where required, and no surprise extras.

  5. Audit‑Ready Paperwork: RAMS, insurance, waste transfer notes, and photos for your records.

Typical Use Cases in Cambridgeshire

  • New‑Build Phases: Keep sales routes and show‑home approaches pristine; finish kerbline and footpath sweeps before handover.

  • Civils & Utilities: After trenching, resurfacing, or duct pulls, we sweep and jet to restore safe access.

  • Science & Business Parks: Regular planned maintenance to protect brand image and reduce slip claims.

  • City Centre & Heritage Streets: Sensitive cleaning to protect paving and keep tourists moving safely.

  • Retail & Logistics: Prevent fines or client complaints by keeping loading bays and perimeter roads clean—especially after storms.

Compliance Without Compromise

Compliance isn’t optional around Cambridge’s research campuses or on trunk‑road interfaces. We align with duty‑of‑care obligations, handle EWC‑coded waste correctly, and provide evidence of legal tipping. For multi‑contractor sites, we’ll integrate with your document control so everything from inductions to permits stays airtight.

Case Snapshot: A14 Access Road Recovery

The challenge: An evening downpour turned a freshly tracked access road into a silt‑heavy slip risk.Our response: Dispatched a suction sweeper at first light, followed by targeted jet washing at problem junctions and gully clearance near the site entrance.The result: Works restarted by 9 a.m., no near‑misses, and residents complimented the tidiness. The principal contractor extended our booking for weekly maintenance through winter.

Planning Your Visit: How to Book Smart

  • Tell us the mess, surface, and deadline. Photos help us pick the right set‑up.

  • Consider gully checks while we’re there. It’s cheaper than an emergency flood call‑out.

  • Bundle tasks. Sweeper + jet wash + waste in one visit is cost‑effective and minimises disruption.

  • Think seasons. Autumn leaf‑fall and spring mud are peak times—advance plans save money.
