Exterior cleaning across Newton Abbot.

Why Newton Abbot properties need us

Newton Abbot's position in the bottom of the Teign valley is the root of most of the exterior cleaning we get called out for here. Cool, damp air pools over the town from the estuary and the surrounding wooded slopes, and the heavy tree cover around Decoy, Bradley and the Stover side keeps roofs shaded and slow to dry. That combination feeds algae and moss on tile and slate, particularly on north-facing pitches in Wolborough and Highweek. The town's mix doesn't help itself either: Victorian terraces near the centre with original clay tiles and shared valley gutters, 1930s and post-war rendered semis through Milber and Buckland, and modern render estates around Mile End and Decoy. Leaf fall off all those mature trees clogs gutters every autumn, and the constant damp means render greens and streaks faster here than on the drier east-Devon coast.
