Exterior cleaning for units, business parks and shopfronts, one-off or on contract. We work all over Plymouth and the surrounding Devon area — Plymouth Hoe, The Barbican, Devonport and the towns between.
The Moore & Franks approach in Plymouth
Plymouth is the biggest commercial scene we cover — the waterfront and Barbican, the city-centre retail, the business parks and the naval and dockyard estates all generate serious demand for exterior upkeep. City grime, traffic film and the salt off Plymouth Sound combine to weather facades, cladding and signage faster than business owners expect. A clean, professional frontage carries real weight in a competitive city market. We've cleaned exteriors across Devon for 25 years and scale up easily for larger commercial and multi-unit sites. Family-run, £5m public liability insured. Office facades, retail units, car parks, cladding and signage cleaned thoroughly with minimal disruption to your operation.
Plymouth throws up the widest spread of surfaces we clean. The old limestone around the Barbican and Stoke carries soot staining and biological growth that pressure would erode, so it gets DOFF superheated steam, cleaning on heat. City-centre render and the K-Rend on newer estates like Sherford get a low-pressure soft wash, and the profiled cladding on the business and dockyard units takes the same gentle wash to lift traffic film without forcing water behind the sheets.
On the larger managed and commercial sites the paperwork matters as much as the clean. We provide method statements and risk assessments where a site needs them, work out of hours or in phases so an operation is not held up, and section car-park work so a site never loses all its parking at once. It is the same two of us on every job, fully insured, just scaled up in planning to suit a bigger city site.
Exposed to the Sound, Plymouth drives salt-laden moisture deep into render and masonry, keeping north-facing elevations damp for weeks, so a facade cleaned once will not stay fresh as long as an inland one. For premises that live on passing city trade, a planned cycle keeps the look consistent. Gutters on the tall Victorian avenues of Mutley and the terraced streets running down to the water we clear from the ground with a carbon-fibre vacuum, keeping ladders off weathered render.
Our Plymouth customers are typically within 1 hour of our Exeter base. We cover the wider PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, PL5, PL6, PL7 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Plymouth Hoe, The Barbican, Devonport, Mutley & Mannamead, Plymstock, Plympton St Maurice).

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.
We quote free and in writing after a site visit, never off a flat rate. On larger city sites the area of cladding or facade and the level of access drive the cost, and out-of-hours working or a managed site needing method statements shapes it too, more than raw floor area alone.
Across the city, from PL1 through PL7 — the Hoe and Barbican, Devonport, Mutley and Mannamead, and out to Plymstock and Plympton. It is about an hour from our Topsham base, a run we make regularly for single cleans and larger commercial contracts.
With DOFF superheated steam, not pressure. The old limestone waterfront around the Barbican is soft and carries soot and biological staining that pressure washing would erode. Steam cleans on temperature instead, lifting the grime gently and leaving the historic stone sound, with any biocide used only as an optional finishing coat.
