The Moore & Franks approach in Newton Abbot
Newton Abbot is a proper working town, and its commercial hard surfaces show it — the retail and trade units around Brunel and Forde Road, the market and high-street car parks off Courtenay Street, forecourts at the industrial estates out toward Heathfield. Sitting low in the Teign valley, cool damp air pools over the town and keeps tarmac and block paving slow to dry, so moss and algae take firm hold, especially on the shaded sides and under the tree cover near Decoy. Traffic film, diesel staining and gum build steadily on busy yards and car parks. We bring rotary flat-surface gear to lift it cleanly off anything from a 50m² entrance to a multi-thousand-metre lot.

Oil and diesel are the real problem on a working Newton Abbot yard, not just the green. A haulage or trade unit out toward Milber or Kingsteignton collects engine drips, hydraulic spots and rubber that ordinary rinsing will not touch. Hot water is what breaks that down, so we run a heated unit to melt the grease off the slab before the rotary head lifts it clear. Cold water alone only spreads an oil stain around; heat is what actually shifts it.
On a shared trade estate you have neighbouring units, parked stock and roller-shutter doors close by, so overspray control matters. The rotary cleaner's enclosed head keeps the dirty spray contained instead of flinging it up a neighbour's frontage, and we sheet off anything vulnerable before we start. Across a big open lot the same head gives an even colour with no patchy overlap marks, which is what stops a half-cleaned car park looking worse than an untouched one.
A car park that pools water breeds moss twice as fast, and plenty of the older lots around the town centre drain poorly. We clear the surface-water gullies and channel gratings as part of the wash, so the water actually gets away and the algae has less to feed on. Where a blocked gully is why the paving keeps greening in the first place, we will flag it — there is no sense cleaning the top if the drainage below is the root cause.
Our Newton Abbot customers are typically within 30 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider TQ12 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Wolborough, Highweek, Milber, Kingsteignton, Decoy Country Park, Bradley Manor).

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 set rate. We give a free written quote based on the area, the surface and the access after a site visit. A heavily oil-stained trade yard takes more work per metre than a clean-ish car park, so the condition matters as much as the size when we price it.
Yes — from the town-centre car parks out to Wolborough, Highweek, Milber and Kingsteignton, and the industrial units toward Heathfield. Whether it is a small shop forecourt or a multi-thousand-metre yard, it is all within easy reach for us.
Mostly, yes. A hot-water wash breaks down fresh oil and diesel far better than cold, and the rotary head lifts the loosened grime off the surface. Really old, deep-soaked stains in porous concrete may ghost slightly, but we will get the yard back to a clean, safe, presentable state.
Not usually. We work early mornings, evenings or in phased halves so trade carries on, and we agree the schedule on the quote. On a managed site we hand over RAMS and a written method statement first, and you always get a same-day reply to an enquiry.
