High-power vacuum clearance from ground level. No ladders against your house. We work all over Paignton and the surrounding Devon area — Paignton Harbour, Preston Sands, Goodrington Sands and the towns between.
The Moore & Franks approach in Paignton
Paignton spreads wide and low around its bay, heavy on inter-war and post-war housing, seafront guest houses and bungalows favoured by retirees along the coast. The flat, exposed setting means wind-blown grit, sand and gull mess collect in gutters that owners can't easily reach themselves. Sitting right on the bay, salt air works at the joints, and a blocked downpipe shows up quickly on render and walls. Moore & Franks vacuum every gutter clear from the ground, flush the downpipes, and leave nothing on your drive. Family-run Devon firm, 25 years in Devon, fully insured to £5m — and happy to handle the lot so you're not up a ladder.
Around Palace Avenue and Roundham the older Victorian and Edwardian terraces have taller roofs and longer downpipe runs than the seafront bungalows, and their gutters gather salt-blown grit alongside moss off the slate. On a terrace a blocked run overflows along the party wall and marks next door too. We clear each length from the ground, empty the hoppers where the run turns the house, and flush the downpipes so the water is carried clear of the render.
Out toward Blagdon and the Clennon Valley the newer estates bring modern render and deep plastic guttering, and the mature trees along the older inland roads drop a heavy leaf load into the runs each autumn. Away from the seafront it is that leaf, more than salt, that blocks a downpipe. We vacuum the debris into the tank in one pass, check the pipe is carrying, and bag the lot rather than leaving it heaped on the drive.
Paignton has a lot of seafront guest houses and holiday flats around Goodrington and the harbour, and their gutters are the sort of thing an owner only hears about when a guest reports water down the wall. We are happy to deal with a manager, send pole-camera footage of the runs, and put the property on a yearly clear so it never gets to that. For a busy guest house it takes one job off the list.
Our Paignton customers are typically within 35 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider TQ3, TQ4 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Paignton Harbour, Preston Sands, Goodrington Sands, Roundham Head, Paignton Zoo, Clennon Valley).

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 is £80 + VAT to start, and bungalows are usually less. In Paignton it is the taller Victorian terraces around Palace Avenue, with their longer runs, that take more time than a single-storey seafront place, so we set a fixed price after a look.
Yes — Preston, Goodrington, Roundham and out to Blagdon and the Clennon Valley, plus the harbour and Palace Avenue. Paignton Zoo end included. It is around thirty-five minutes from Topsham, so the TQ3 and TQ4 area is a regular run.
Yes. The constant salt air off Tor Bay works the joints and seals loose on seafront runs, and a dropped joint overflows even when the gutter is spotless. We flag any we find and, if it is a simple realign or reseal, sort it on the same visit.
Yes. We only need outside access, so the gutters can be cleared between bookings without disturbing guests, and we reply the day you contact us. For managed properties we deal with your agent and can arrange a yearly visit.
