The Moore & Franks approach in Exmouth
Exmouth takes the full force of the weather coming off the estuary and the open sea — wind-driven rain, salt in the air, and gulls dropping nesting debris straight into your guttering. The seafront Georgian and Victorian properties, plus the big spread of post-war housing behind them, all suffer the same thing: gutters that overflow in a downpour because moss and grit have built up unseen. We vacuum them clear from the ground on carbon-fibre poles, flush every downpipe, and check the joints that salt air tends to loosen over time. Moore & Franks have worked Exmouth roofs for years — fully insured to £5m, family-run, and straight with you about what your gutters actually need.
Behind the seafront, the big estates at Littleham, Brixington and Withycombe Raleigh are mostly 1930s and post-war semis with shallow, north-sloping roofs. Those low pitches shed slowly, so moss creeps down the tiles and drops into the gutter as a wet mat that ordinary rain will not shift. We pull it out with a ground-based vacuum and clear the hoppers where the run turns the corner of the house, then make sure the downpipe is actually carrying water away rather than trickling.
Withycombe Raleigh and the Maer Road area carry heavy mature tree cover, and every autumn the leaf and seed comes straight off the canopy into the runs. Combine that with fine sand blown up from the beach and gutters silt up into a solid mass. Because we work off carbon-fibre poles from the drive, there is no ladder swinging over your borders and no boots on a fragile porch roof. We bag the debris and take it, leaving nothing tipped into the flowerbeds below.
Exmouth has a lot of holiday flats and rented seafront properties, and their gutters are the sort of thing an owner two counties away never sees until a tenant reports water down the wall. We are happy to deal with a managing agent, send before-and-after footage from the pole camera, and put the property on an annual clear so it never gets that far again. For estate landlords across EX8 it takes one recurring job off the list.
Our Exmouth customers are typically within 25 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider EX8 postcode area and the surrounding villages (The Beacon, Littleham, Withycombe Raleigh, Brixington, Exmouth Seafront & Marina, Lympstone).

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 semi or detached house starts from £80 + VAT, and smaller bungalows can come in under that. Exposure is the Exmouth factor — salt-loosened joints and silted runs sometimes need a proper flush rather than a quick pull, but we confirm a fixed price up front before any work.
Yes — Lympstone, Littleham, Withycombe and Brixington are all on our regular round, along with the seafront and marina and the newer housing out toward Dinan Way. We come across from Topsham most weeks, so nowhere in the EX8 area is out of reach.
We spot them while we clear. Constant salt air works the seals loose on coastal runs, and a joint that has dropped will overflow however clean the gutter is. We flag it, and if it is a simple realign or reseal we sort it on the same visit rather than booking you back.
It is about twenty-five minutes from our Topsham base, so we reach Exmouth easily and answer enquiries the day they come in. For holiday lets and rentals we can arrange access through your agent and set up an annual visit so it is handled without you chasing.
