The Moore & Franks approach in Torquay
Torquay trades on the English Riviera image, and its hotels, seafront businesses and harbour-side units live or die on presentation. Visitors notice a stained hotel facade or a grimy entrance the moment they arrive. Salt-laden sea air weathers render and signage hard along the bay, and the palm-lined frontages need to stay as crisp as the brochures suggest. We've cleaned South Devon's coastal exteriors for 25 years and know how to shift seafront grime without damaging the surface. Family-run, £5m public liability insured. Hotel facades, restaurant frontages, car parks and signage cleaned to keep your Torquay premises matching the resort standard guests expect.
Torquay climbs in tiers above the harbour, and that steep, terraced layout shapes every job. Access is often tight — narrow hotel approaches, split levels, limited parking — so we plan the route in and keep the kit compact. Around hotels we work early or in quiet windows so guests are not stepping past hoses on their way to breakfast, and pole-fed glass cleaning means no ladders blocking a busy entrance while the season is in full swing.
The grand Victorian and Edwardian villas around the Warberries and Wellswood carry large rendered and painted elevations that stain green on their shaded, sea-facing sides. Those we soft wash at low pressure so the render and paintwork stay sound. The rendered semis and painted terraces of Chelston and Ellacombe get the same gentle treatment, and any period stonework or ornate frontage that pressure would harm is cleaned instead with DOFF superheated steam.
Salt-laden air off Tor Bay and the frequent sea fret keep render permanently damp, so a hotel facade that comes up crisp will not stay that way as long as one inland, and it is fairer to say so. For premises trading on first impressions, a planned cycle keeps the frontage consistently presentable without a costly catch-up later. Gutters on the tall villas and hotels we clear from the ground with a carbon-fibre vacuum, keeping ladders off render softened by the coastal damp.
Our Torquay customers are typically within 45 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider TQ1, TQ2 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Babbacombe & Oddicombe Beach, Cockington Village, St Marychurch, Wellswood, Torre Abbey, Kents Cavern).

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 seeing the site. Torquay's steep, tiered streets and tight hotel access can add to a job, and a large villa or hotel facade takes longer than a small shopfront, so access and size shape the price more than a flat rate ever could.
All of it, across TQ1 and TQ2 — the harbour and seafront, Wellswood and Babbacombe, St Marychurch, and the rendered semis of Chelston and Shiphay. It is about forty-five minutes from our Topsham base, a run we make regularly for hotels and seafront businesses.
With a low-pressure soft wash suited to render and paint. High pressure would strip the coating and force salt-laden water into the wall, so we lift the green and black staining gently across the whole elevation. A biocide top coat afterwards slows regrowth on the shaded, sea-facing sides.
Yes. We can take early slots or quiet windows so hotel guests are not disrupted, and phase larger jobs across the building and car park. Tell us your busy periods when you enquire — we work weekdays, eight to five, reply the same day, and quote free.
