Exterior cleaning across Paignton.

Why Paignton properties need us

Paignton sits right on Tor Bay, and that location does most of the damage. Salt-laden onshore wind drives moisture into render and masonry across Preston, Roundham and the seafront, while the milder, humid microclimate feeds the green and black algae you see streaking north-facing roofs and pebbledashed gables. The town's housing is a real mix: Victorian terraces near Palace Avenue, sprawling 1930s and post-war semis through Preston and Goodrington, and modern estates out toward Blagdon and Clennon. Mature trees on the older inland roads choke gutters with leaf litter every autumn, and the regular sea fret keeps surfaces damp enough for organic growth to take hold fast. Add the constant cycle of damp and salt to roofs that rarely get a proper dry spell, and you've got render, slates and guttering that need attention more often than most inland Devon towns.
