Commercial Pressure Washing in Budleigh Salterton
Car parks, forecourts and tarmac brought back from grimy to clean — measured by the square metre. We work all over Budleigh Salterton and the surrounding Devon area — The Octagon and Fairlynch Museum, Marine Parade and the pebble beach, River Otter estuary and South Farm Road and the towns between.

The Moore & Franks approach in Budleigh Salterton
Budleigh Salterton keeps a quiet, well-kept character, and its commercial frontages reflect that — the independents along the High Street, the cafes near Marine Parade, the car parks serving the pebble beach and the golf club out on the edge of town. Sitting on the open sweep of Lyme Bay, the paving and forecourts here pick up salt-laden damp that keeps block paving green and slabs slippery on the shaded sides through the cooler months. Mature trees around South Farm Road and the estuary drop leaf and seed that wash grime across the hard standing. We work tidily, mindful of the town's presentation, and handle everything from a small entrance to a full car park. Twenty-five years, insured to £5m, free quote.
A patchy clean looks worse than no clean at all, and that shows most on a smart Budleigh frontage where half-cleaned paving fools nobody. Running the rotary head in even, overlapping passes keeps one consistent tone right across a car park or forecourt, with none of the tiger-striping a lone lance leaves behind. It is the difference between a surface that looks properly renewed and one that just looks blotchy, and on the High Street presentation is the whole point.
All the leaf and seed dropping off the town's trees ends up somewhere, and mostly it is in the car parks and the drainage that serves them. A gully packed with rotting leaf mould keeps a surface wet, and wet surfaces green over fastest, so we clear the channels and gratings as we wash rather than just cleaning the top and leaving the cause. The water gets away properly and the paving stays drier and cleaner for longer.
Salt-laden air off Lyme Bay means the green never fully gives up here, so a single clean buys you a season or two, not forever. For seafront and golf-club premises we will often pencil in a yearly refresh going into spring, keeping paths and parking safe before the visitors arrive. There is no tie-in — just a fixed written price each visit, agreed before we start, and a quick return whenever you decide the surface has had enough.

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 price it free after a visit, worked out by the square metre against size, surface and access. Salt-fed algae on an exposed seafront site can mean more scrubbing per metre than a sheltered inland yard, so the condition of the surface counts alongside how big it is.
Yes — Marine Parade and the High Street, up toward West Hill and Coastguard Road, out to the golf club, and across to East Budleigh and Otterton. Being a mobile family firm on the East Devon coast, we reach the whole of EX9 easily.
It can if it is done carelessly, so we do not. The rotary head spreads the force to clean without gouging the joints, and where a wash does pull some kiln-dried sand out, we brush fresh sand back in afterwards. The paving ends up clean and properly bedded, not stripped.
Whenever fits — early mornings, evenings, or phased so trade carries on. Coastal sites often prefer the quiet off-season, and we will book to suit. Enquiries get a same-day reply, and the date is fixed on the quote so you know exactly when we are coming.
