Car parks, forecourts and tarmac brought back from grimy to clean — measured by the square metre. We work all over Cullompton and the surrounding Devon area — St Andrew's Church, Fore Street conservation area, The Walronds and the towns between.
The Moore & Franks approach in Cullompton
Cullompton's commercial side is split between the old town and the growing edges — the shops and listed frontages around Fore Street and St Andrew's, and the trade units, retail and distribution hard standing out by Junction 28 and the Honiton Road estates. Sitting low in the Culm valley, the town traps morning damp and the south-westerlies drive rain hard against exposed surfaces, so block paving and tarmac green up and yards stay grubby. Mature trees along the Culm shed into drainage and across forecourts, while the surrounding farmland brings pollen, dust and organic muck onto every commercial lot. We bring flat-surface rotary gear for the larger car parks and yards, and clean carefully in the conservation area. Family firm, insured to £5m, free quote.
The distribution and trade units around Junction 28 never really stop, with HGVs and vans in and out all day, so cleaning their yards is as much about logistics as pressure. We phase a big service yard in sections around the loading pattern, or come in on a quiet early shift, so operations keep moving while we work. On that scale the rotary surface cleaner covers ground fast and evenly, which keeps the whole job, and the disruption, short.
A busy yard collects a specific kind of filth — tyre rubber ground into the surface, diesel spots at the loading bays, and the farmland dust that blows in off every edge of town and turns to a grey film in the damp. Cold water just moves it around, so we run hot water to break the oil and rubber down before lifting it with the rotary head. It comes back to a clean, safe surface rather than a rearranged stain.
At the other end of town the Fore Street conservation area is all cob, lime render and old stone, where a hard lance does real harm. There we drop right down to controlled low-pressure work that cleans the surface without stripping soft historic fabric or blowing out lime pointing. It is the same firm, two very different methods — brute force where a modern yard can take it, a careful touch where the old town cannot. Knowing which is which is the point.
Our Cullompton customers are typically within 20 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider EX15 postcode area and the surrounding villages (St Andrew's Church, Fore Street conservation area, The Walronds, Culm Valley, Knightswood estate, Colebrook).
A clear, repeatable process.
No surprises, no upsells. The same method every job — that's how you get the same result every time.

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.
There is no flat figure — we quote free after measuring, costing by the square metre against surface and access. A large, open J28 distribution yard is cheaper per metre than a small, awkward frontage in the old town, but heavy oil or rubber staining can add to it, so we price on what we actually see.
Yes — the Junction 28 and Honiton Road units, the Knightswood and Colebrook edges, and the Fore Street and town-centre frontages. Whether it is a multi-thousand-metre distribution yard or a small shop forecourt in EX15, it is all on our patch.
Usually, yes. A hot-water rotary wash softens ground-in rubber and breaks down diesel far better than cold water, then lifts it off the slab. Deep, old stains in porous concrete may ghost a little, but the yard comes back clean, grippy and safe for traffic and staff.
Yes. We phase a working yard around the loading pattern, or start early before the shift builds, so operations carry on. On a managed site we issue RAMS and method statements beforehand, agree timing on the quote, and reply the same day to any enquiry.
