Caravan & Park Home Cleaning in Newton Abbot

The Moore & Franks approach in Newton Abbot

Newton Abbot sits in the Teign valley, and that low, damp basin is exactly where caravans and park homes go green fastest. Mist hangs in the valley, the parks toward Kingsteignton and the racecourse side stay shaded, and roofs grow a thick algae layer that streaks down the walls. Pressure-washing it off risks the coatings — the wrong way round. Moore & Franks soft-wash instead: a low-pressure treatment that kills the growth and lifts the grime while leaving seals and sealant intact. We're a Devon family firm, 25 years on, fully insured to £5m, and we'll give you a straight price with no upselling.

Getting round the units on a busy site takes a bit of thought, and it is something we are used to. On the settled residential sites around the town the pitches sit close together, with decking and sheds filling the gaps, so we work with lightweight poles and hoses that reach over without treading on a neighbour's plot. A tight pitch or an awkward corner is rarely a problem once we have had a look.

A park home's exterior is really several materials at once: a coated roof, aluminium or composite wall panels, uPVC windows and a plastic or timber skirt around the base. Each wants a slightly different touch, and the low, damp Teign air feeds algae into all of them. We match the wash to the surface, lifting the green off the roof and walls while keeping the pressure well down around the seals and the skirting joints.

For owners who live in their park home year-round, a clean exterior is about more than looks; thick algae holds damp against the panels and creeps into the skirting. We can set up a regular visit, once or twice a year, so it never gets to that stage. Plenty of Newton Abbot residents on the settled sites prefer that steady arrangement to leaving it until the whole unit has gone green.
