Fascia, Soffit & Cladding Cleaning in Exmouth

The Moore & Franks approach in Exmouth

On the Exmouth seafront the salt air does the damage you can see and plenty you can't. Fascias and soffits facing the estuary catch wind-driven spray, and that combination of salt and damp leaves white uPVC streaked grey and green within a season or two. Cladded apartments along the front cop it worst. We clean fascias, soffits and cladding the soft-wash way — non-aggressive biocides that clear algae and salt-borne grime without blasting the surface or lifting the finish. Whether it's a town terrace or a property right on the front, we'll tell you straight what it needs and quote it free, with no obligation.

Exmouth's housing pulls in two directions, and the roofline shows it. The 1930s semis through Littleham and the older terraces near the railway carry painted timber fascias under low-pitched roofs that slope away from the sun and never quite dry out. Out at Liverton and the Dinan Way fringe the newer builds run K-Rend and silicone cladding, and the moist air off the estuary greens those almost as quickly. Whichever end of town you are in, the boards facing away from the sun hold the damp longest and grow the heaviest film.

The prevailing south-westerly carries salt a fair way inland here, well past the front. It settles on fascia and cladding as a fine film that holds moisture and grime long after rain, which is why elevations up in Withycombe and Brixington streak even though they never see spray. Low winter sun barely clears the rooftops, so shaded soffits stay wet for weeks. A biocide soft wash strips the salt-fed algae and keeps working afterwards, buying those boards a good while before the green creeps back.

Withycombe Raleigh and the conservation streets off Maer Road sit under big old trees, and every autumn the gutters fill with what they drop; once a downpipe backs up, the overflow runs straight down the fascia and cladding below it. We clear that debris from the ground with a vacuum pole before it stains the boards, then treat the roofline itself. Sorting both in one visit stops the two problems feeding each other. From Topsham the run down to Exmouth is a short one, so a follow-up is never a hassle to fix.
