The Moore & Franks approach in Crediton
Crediton is a market town set deep in farming country, and that rural setting shows on its commercial premises. Damp lanes, surrounding fields and a wet local climate all encourage green algae and lichen on render, paving and the older sandstone buildings around the high street. The historic frontages and the church end of town set a standard that grime undermines. We've cleaned Devon exteriors for 25 years and know how to treat soft, weathered Mid Devon stonework without harming it. Family-run, fully insured to £5m, and we work off a Tiverton landline for the area. Shopfronts, forecourts, signage and paving cleaned with the care older buildings deserve.
Crediton's trade strings along the High Street and the through-route, and the forecourt businesses, garages and independents on it all get seen by a lot of passing traffic. A grimy forecourt or a green-streaked frontage reads as neglected to drivers who never stop to look closer. We clean forecourts, signage and frontages so a business looks open and kept up, phasing any car-park work so a unit keeps its parking usable while we go bay by bay.
The local red sandstone that colours Crediton's older buildings is soft and porous, and it is easily harmed by the wrong approach. Pressure washing erodes the face and opens it to more weathering, so we clean sandstone and any historic frontage with DOFF superheated steam, working on heat rather than force. Painted render on the terraces gets a low-pressure soft wash instead, lifting algae without crazing the surface or soaking the wall behind.
Down in the Creedy valley, cold, still air settles overnight and mornings stay wet well into spring and autumn, so growth clings to shaded frontages and paving longer than on higher ground. A planned clean through the year keeps a frontage smart and forecourt paving safe underfoot. Gutters clogged with leaf fall from the trees ringing the town we clear from ground level with a vacuum, not ladders against soft render.

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 set price — we quote free and in writing after a visit. The soft red sandstone on many older Crediton frontages needs steam rather than pressure, which takes longer than a straightforward render wash, so surface and access shape the figure alongside the size of the job.
The town centre and High Street, plus the surrounding villages — Sandford, Newton St Cyres and Shobrooke. We reach Crediton in about twenty minutes from our Exeter base, so it is easy local work for us.
Yes. Crediton's soft red sandstone is porous and erodes under pressure washing, so we use DOFF superheated steam, which cleans on temperature not force. It lifts algae and lichen from the stone gently, leaving the historic face sound. Any biocide is only an optional top coat to slow regrowth.
Yes. We work in sections, so a forecourt or car park loses only a few bays at a time and stays usable. Tell us your busy periods when you enquire and we plan around them. We reply the same day and every quote is free with no obligation.
