Caravan & Park Home Cleaning in Dawlish
Careful exterior cleaning for caravans, mobile homes, park homes and lodges. We work all over Dawlish and the surrounding Devon area — Dawlish Warren, Dawlish Water (the Black Swans), Cockwood and the towns between.

The Moore & Franks approach in Dawlish
Dawlish lives with the sea closer than most — the railway runs along the wall and the spray reaches well inland on a rough day. The caravan parks out on the Warren and along the cliffs between there and the town take a hammering: salt spray on the seaward panels, persistent green on the sheltered sides. It builds quickly here. Moore & Franks soft-wash caravan and park home exteriors across the Dawlish parks, clearing salt film, algae and streaking at low pressure so seals and coatings stay sound. Family-run for 25 years, fully insured to £5m, and we work around your neighbours without making a mess.
The caravan parks strung along the Dawlish coast are holiday sites first, so a lot of what we clean is let out through the summer. A streaked, salt-hazed van does not photograph well and does not let well either, which is why owners tend to book us before the season rather than after. We can work through a block of units between guests, getting each one presentable without stalling the changeover.
Sea salt does not just dull the panels; it settles into the window rubbers, the sealant runs and the roof joints, and left there it holds damp against them. On the exposed Dawlish units that is the real reason to keep on top of it. We rinse it out gently, at a pressure that will not drive water past a seal, and bring the GRP roof and cladding back without touching the seams.
The wooded slopes around Holcombe and Cockwood keep the sheltered pitches shaded and damp, so green comes back on those sides even where salt is less of an issue. Once a unit is clean we will tell you honestly how the two problems play out on your pitch, and whether an optional biocide top-coat is worth adding to slow the regrowth. Every plot weathers a little differently.
Our Dawlish customers are typically within 25 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider EX7 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Dawlish Warren, Dawlish Water (the Black Swans), Cockwood, Holcombe, Barton Hill, The Strand).

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we get asked the most. If yours isn't here, drop us a line — we reply same day.
There is no fixed rate; we give a free quote once we have seen the unit. On the coastal Dawlish parks, how weathered the panels are makes a real difference: a van that has had salt baking on for a couple of seasons takes longer than one kept on top of. We will price it straight.
All of them: the sites out on Dawlish Warren, the pitches up around Barton Hill and Holcombe, and out toward Cockwood and Secmaton. If it is in the EX7 postcode, we will reach it and quote it for you.
No, quite the opposite. Salt lifts off easily with a low-pressure soft-wash, and pressure would only risk forcing it and water past the seals it has already worked into. On exposed Dawlish units the gentle approach clears the salt film and green without adding any stress to the seams.
Yes. Tell us which days your guests change over and we will fit the work into those gaps, doing each van properly before the next arrival. You always get the same two people, a father-and-son firm, weekdays only, and a reply the same day you make contact.
