The Moore & Franks approach in Plymouth
Plymouth's a big, varied city — Victorian terraces in Stoke and Mutley, the rebuilt post-war centre, sprawling estates and waterfront properties facing the Sound. The coastal exposure brings salt wind and gull mess, while the leafier suburbs add their own autumn load, so gutters across the city clog for different reasons in different streets. Whatever the property, a blocked downpipe means water against the walls and damp working in. Moore & Franks travel across to Plymouth regularly, vacuuming gutters clear from the ground, flushing the downpipes, and giving a clear account of the condition. Family-run Devon firm, 25 years, £5m public liability — proper work, no upsell.
The leafy Victorian and Edwardian avenues of Peverell, Hartley and Crownhill carry heavy mature tree cover, and every autumn that canopy drops leaf straight into the gutters of the big bay-fronted houses below. Long runs and tall roofs mean a blockage sits hidden until water is running down the brick. Our carbon-fibre poles reach the top run from the pavement, so there is no scaffold and no ladder against the render, and we bag the leaf rather than leaving it in the front garden.
Out at Plymstock, Plympton and the modern estates around Sherford and Saltram Meadow the housing is render-heavy — K-Rend and silicone on deep plastic guttering — and it streaks and discolours fast in the damp maritime air. Roof runoff drives that growth into the runs, and a blocked downpipe then marks a pale gable within a season. We clear the full length from the ground, flush the pipes, and stop the runoff marking the render, sparing a soft-wash later.
Down on the exposed frontages at Mount Batten and out toward Wembury the properties cop the worst of the weather coming up the Channel, salt film coating render and windows and holding dirt in the runs. Elsewhere the steep terraced streets running to the water share downpipes that overflow onto the house below when neglected. We clear the shared runs from the pavement, flush every pipe, and travel over to Plymouth often enough that a yearly return is easy to arrange for anyone who wants it handled before winter.
Our Plymouth customers are typically within 1 hour of our Exeter base. We cover the wider PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, PL5, PL6, PL7 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Plymouth Hoe, The Barbican, Devonport, Mutley & Mannamead, Plymstock, Plympton St Maurice).

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, with bungalows often less. Across Plymouth it is usually height and the long runs on the big Victorian avenues in Peverell and Hartley that lift a price above a simple semi, so we quote a fixed figure after a look.
The lot — Peverell, Hartley, Plymstock and Plympton, down to the Barbican and Devonport, and out to the newer estates at Sherford. From PL1 across to PL7. It is about an hour from Topsham, but we are over regularly.
From the pavement, with the vacuum reaching into the run and pulling out the packed leaf and moss that spans several houses, then flushing the downpipe. On the steep streets running to the water this is far safer than laddering up a run shared between two roofs.
Call or message and we will respond the same day. Plymouth is roughly an hour from Topsham but we travel over often, so reaching you is no trouble, and we can arrange a yearly visit so the gutters are done before each winter.
