The shophouses along Roshan Ara Road hide small Sintex tanks on their terraces, greening under wholesale-lane dust nobody climbs up to check. KaamGenie cleans them gently and hygienically. From ₹699.
Roshan Ara Road runs through a congested older stretch of North Delhi where wholesale-market shopfronts and godowns sit below cramped residential floors near Sadar Bazar. The building type here is telling: mixed-use shophouses, trade below and squeezed living quarters above, each topped by a small terrace tank, and many of those tanks are Sintex or plastic. They run on intermittent DJB supply and sit exposed to the constant road dust and haze of the surrounding trade lanes. Between fills the water stands in these little tanks, and a translucent plastic wall lets daylight in to warm it, so an algae film grows. The dust from the wholesale lanes settles in through loose lids on top of that. With shopkeepers and tenants rarely climbing to inspect them, these tanks quietly collect a dust-laden sediment layer and scale, so they need cleaning well before the water starts to look and smell off.
Our plastic-safe clean is quick on these terrace tanks: we open and check the tank and lid, drain it, scoop the dust-laden slimy sediment off the bottom, wet-vacuum the rest, jet-wash at a plastic-safe pressure and scrub the film with soft pads, then an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and photos before and after. Where a Roshan Ara Road building has a larger tank or a sump, our full water tank cleaning in Roshan Ara Road covers it. This page is about the Sintex and plastic terrace tanks.
It starts with the building type. A shophouse here has its living quarters and small terrace tank stacked above a busy trade below, and that terrace sits right in the wholesale lanes’ dust and haze. The grime settles into the small tank through a loose lid and cakes onto the walls, clouding the water, a heavier dust load than a purely residential roof, because the trade and traffic beneath never stop.
The plastic tank then adds its film. A translucent Sintex wall lets the daylight into the standing water between the intermittent fills and warms it, growing algae that grips onto the caked dust. Because shopkeepers and tenants are busy below and rarely climb up to look, the tanks are opened by no one, so the dust and film build together. Left alone they cloud and taint the water, which in these mixed-use buildings is often the first thing anyone notices.
No travel charge anywhere in Roshan Ara Road. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Our shop is below and no one goes up to the terrace, can you manage it alone?” Yes. Give the crew terrace access and confirm your supply hours, and we do the whole clean without you needing to climb up. We send before-and-after photos so you can see the grimy tank and the clean one from the shop below, without leaving the trade for long.
“The wholesale lanes are so dusty, is a clean worth it here?” It is. Most of what fouls the tank is the settled dust and algae film we scoop and jet-wash out, and seating the lid properly afterwards keeps much of the fresh dust from getting back in. A cleaned, covered terrace tank stays usable far longer than an open, caked one despite the trade-lane air.
“How often should a shophouse terrace tank be cleaned?” Given the constant dust from the trade lanes, every three to four months keeps a Roshan Ara Road tank from clouding the water. The first clean after a long gap usually lifts a thick dust-laden layer, after which the regular interval keeps the small tank clear.
“What is the cost for a small terrace tank above the shops?” A small Sintex up to 500 litres is ₹699 and a standard 1000L is ₹899, with a 1000 to 2000 litre tank at ₹1,299 to ₹1,499. If a building has several plastic tanks, a bulk per-tank rate applies, so doing them together is cheaper than one by one.
“Can you time it so it does not clash with our trading hours?” Yes. We plan the visit around your supply timing and can aim for a quieter stretch of the day so it does not clash with peak trade. The drain-and-refill window on a small terrace tank is short, and booking on 95603 66362 lets us fit a slot that suits the shop.
