The Moore & Franks approach in Brixham
Brixham tumbles down to its working harbour in steep, tightly-packed terraces, fully exposed to the weather rolling in off the bay. Salt spray, strong wind and a busy gull population mean gutters here corrode and clog faster than almost anywhere in Devon. The steep streets and close-set rooflines make access awkward, and a blocked downpipe in a storm sends water straight onto the house below. Moore & Franks handle these tricky positions safely, clearing every run by vacuum pole from the ground and flushing the downpipes through. Family-run, 25 years in Devon, £5m public liability — and used to Brixham's steep, salt-battered rooftops.
Up at Higher Brixham and out on the Wall Park and Sharkham estates the housing is 1960s-onward semis and newer clifftop builds on exposed plots, taking the wind straight off the Channel. Salt film coats the render and holds dirt, and roof runoff carries that growth into deep plastic guttering. We clear each run from the ground with the vacuum, empty the hoppers, and flush the downpipes so a blocked run is not marking a pale gable that then needs a full wash.
Inland toward Churston Ferrers and Galmpton the properties are larger and more detached, set among mature trees that drop leaf and needle litter into the gutters each autumn. Those bigger roofs with long runs gather a real volume, and a blocked downpipe on an exposed plot sends water sheeting off a gable in a gale. Our vacuum poles reach the full run from the ground, whatever the span, and we bag the debris rather than leaving it around the grounds.
Down in the tightly-stacked terraces around the harbour and Fore Street the properties share valley gutters and downpipes, and gull mess off the quayside roofs adds to the leaf and moss packing them solid. No single owner can see where a shared run has blocked until damp starts showing on somebody's wall. We clear the shared runs from the pavement, flush the pipes, and set plenty of harbour-side owners up on a yearly visit so it is dealt with before the winter storms rather than during one.
Our Brixham customers are typically within 45 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider TQ5 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Berry Head, Brixham Harbour & Fish Quay, Higher Brixham, St Mary's Bay, Churston Ferrers, Galmpton).

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.
A standard house starts from £80 + VAT and bungalows are often less. In Brixham it is the exposure and the tight harbour access, more than height, that can add to a job — salt-worn runs sometimes need a full flush — so we confirm a fixed price first.
The harbour and Fore Street, Higher Brixham, St Mary's Bay and out to Churston Ferrers and Galmpton. The Berry Head side included. It is around forty-five minutes from Topsham, but we are over on the bay regularly, so nowhere in TQ5 is out of reach.
From the pavement, with the vacuum reaching the run and pulling out the packed leaf, moss and gull mess that spans several houses. We flush the downpipes after. On the steep, close-set terraces this beats trying to ladder up a run that runs between two roofs.
Call or message for a same-day reply. Brixham is around forty-five minutes away but we cover the bay often, so reaching you is easy, and for exposed harbour-side homes we suggest a yearly visit ahead of the winter storms.
