Commercial Cleaning in Sidmouth
Exterior cleaning for units, business parks and shopfronts, one-off or on contract. We work all over Sidmouth and the surrounding Devon area — The Esplanade, Sidford, Sidbury and the towns between.

The Moore & Franks approach in Sidmouth
Sidmouth holds its Regency seafront to a high standard, and businesses here are expected to match it. The white-stucco hotels along the Esplanade, the independent shops on the high street and the pristine front gardens all set a tone — one that grimy render or weed-strewn paving quickly undermines. Sea air and the red-cliff dust off Salcombe Hill both leave their mark on commercial frontages. We've spent 25 years cleaning Devon's exteriors and treat heritage and seafront premises with the care they need. Family-run, fully insured to £5m public liability. Whether it's a hotel facade, a shopfront or a pub frontage, we'll keep your Sidmouth premises looking the part the town expects.
Businesses in Sidmouth trade partly on the town's careful, well-kept look, and a cafe awning or shop fascia gone dull with green film undoes that in a second. The independents along the high street and the guesthouses set back from the front all want to look cared for without anything garish. We keep the work quiet and tidy, clean the frontage and signage back to how it should read, and leave no mess on the pavement for the morning trade.
The classic Sidmouth frontage is painted lime render or stucco, and that is a surface you have to respect. Pressure washing crazes it and can force water into the wall behind, so we soft wash at low pressure to lift algae and marine dust off the face. The 1930s and newer premises up toward Sidford and the Bowd carry harder modern render that greens on the weather side; that gets the same gentle treatment, with a biocide top coat where an owner wants longer between cleans.
Tucked in the Sid valley under Peak Hill and Salcombe Hill, the town stays shaded and damp on its northern aspects, so growth returns on the sheltered sides sooner than on the sunny seafront. For hotels and shops that want to stay consistently smart, a planned visit through the year makes more sense than an annual scramble. Whatever comes off the roof or out of the gutters is bagged and removed, and we clear gutters from the ground with a vacuum rather than ladders against soft render.
Our Sidmouth customers are typically within 25 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider EX10 postcode area and the surrounding villages (The Esplanade, Sidford, Sidbury, Woolbrook, Peak Hill, Salcombe Hill, Connaught Gardens).

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 give a free written quote after seeing the property, not a flat figure. The delicate painted render on many Sidmouth frontages needs careful low-pressure work rather than a quick blast, and that, along with size and access, shapes the price more than square footage on its own.
The whole of EX10 — the Esplanade and Fore Street, the high street, and out through Sidford, Sidbury and Woolbrook. We are around twenty-five minutes away in Topsham, a trip we make often for seafront hotels and inland premises alike.
Yes, and it is the only sensible way to clean it. The Regency stucco and painted lime render along the front would be damaged by pressure washing. A low-pressure soft wash lifts the algae and salt film gently, keeps the paintwork sound, and a biocide finish slows the return of green on shaded elevations.
Many owners prefer the shoulder seasons, so the facade is fresh before the busy summer and we are not working across a full car park in peak weeks. We fit around your calendar within our weekday hours, reply the same day, and quote free with no obligation.
