Commercial Pressure Washing in Brixham

The Moore & Franks approach in Brixham

Brixham's commercial life centres on the working fish quay and the harbour, so its hard surfaces take the weather full on. The quayside car parks, the paved frontages around Fore Street and King Street, and the forecourts serving the harbour businesses all cop salt-laden onshore wind that holds dirt and feeds algae, while frequent sea fret keeps block paving and slabs damp and slippery. Gull mess across the quayside adds to it, and the tightly stacked harbour frontages pick up grime and gum from the visitor footfall. Up at Higher Brixham and the trade units the surfaces green over just as fast. We bring rotary flat-surface cleaners for any size of lot and work around the tides of trade.

Access is the first thing we work out on a Brixham job. The harbour frontages are tight and steep, parking is at a premium, and a working fish quay keeps its own hours, so we plan where the machine sits and how the hoses run before we turn up. On the cramped quayside sites we phase the wash so trade keeps moving through one section while we clean another, and we bring our own supply by bowser where there is no room or tap for a hose.

Quayside surfaces here cop something inland sites never do — a constant reapplication of gull mess and salt spray that bakes into a stubborn film. Hot water is what shifts it, softening the grime and the acidic gull fouling so the rotary head can lift it back to clean stone or tarmac. Left to build, that mess etches and stains, so on the harbour frontages a heated wash is not a luxury, it is what actually does the job.

The pastel-rendered and painted fronts that give Brixham its look need a gentler hand than the harbour tarmac. On those surfaces we drop the pressure right down and let the rotary head's even spread lift the salt film without flaking paint or driving water behind the render. It is the same job done two ways — full power on the sound quayside hard standing, a careful, controlled pass on the softer painted frontages that cannot take a hard lance.
