Specialists in constructing and equipping commercial greenhouses, Bridge Greenhouses, are now offering a drone spraying service to clean or tint commercial greenhouse and polytunnel roofs.

The service utilises GPS-controlled drones to spray the top of the greenhouses, either to remove dirt that’s obscuring the light or to apply a shading agent for plants that require less direct sunlight.

Through their new maintenance service, Bridge Greenhouses aims to enhance their offering to their clients, while also presenting commercial growers with a safer and more efficient solutions to maintaining their greenhouse structures. 

“Glasshouse roofs can quickly become dirty, reducing the amount of sunshine the plants inside receive and maintaining your roofs can be a lengthy and sometimes hazardous task, especially when dealing with a large commercial structure. With our new service, we can spray greenhouse roofs quickly, efficiently and effectively with our innovative agricultural drones” says David Summerfield, Managing Director of Bridge Greenhouses.

Utilising high-accuracy sprayers, every square centimetre of the greenhouse roof can be covered, minimising the volume and costs of the cleaning or shading agent that’s required. 

Bridge also commends their drone service for its speed and efficiency, offering a faster and less disruptive spraying method compared to traditional roof maintenance procedures.

In addition to removing the lengthy, labour-intensive task of manually cleaning a greenhouse roof, drone spraying also proves to a be a safer alternative. “Safety is a critical concern when cleaning greenhouses, especially when performed on high up or delicate surfaces. By carrying out all operations from the ground, our GPS-controlled drones eliminate the health and safety risk to personnel and reduce the risk of damage to the structure” adds David.
Based in Hull and Chichester, Bridge Greenhouses has been at the forefront of the UK horticulture for over four decades, constructing commercial greenhouses throughout Britain for edible crops, medicinal plants, plant nurseries and flowers.
As well as supplying and installing greenhouse structures, Bridge also offers comprehensive maintenance contracts to help greenhouse growers maintain a consistent and ideal environment for their specific crops. 

“Our new drone roof spraying service is also available under our maintenance plans, offering routine cleaning to keep your greenhouse in peak condition, promoting conditions that support bigger and better crops. The drone will keep the roof in perfect condition if cleaned as part of an annual service” concludes David.
