The Moore & Franks approach in Brixham
Brixham climbs steeply from its fish quay, and the gutter work reflects it. The tightly-packed Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Fore Street, King Street and the harbour share valleys and downpipes that overflow the moment a joint fails, often on steep, awkward access. Salt-laden winds off Berry Head corrode brackets and seams, while the larger detached homes through Churston and Galmpton block their downpipes with leaf and needle litter, plus gull mess across the quayside roofs. We reseal and refit leaking joints, replace corroded hoppers and downpipe sections, and clear silted gullies — properly geared for the cramped, exposed positions this town throws up. Twenty-five years on the bay, fully insured to £5m, free quote always.
The old terraces stacked up from the harbour around Fore Street and King Street were built long before cars, and plenty can only be reached on foot up steps and narrow passages, with nowhere to park a van nearby. That steep, cramped access is a big part of gutter work in Brixham, and it is exactly the sort of position we are set up for. We carry the kit in, reach the leaking joint or the shared valley safely, and sort the repair without needing a driveway to work off.
Up around Higher Brixham and Mount Pleasant Road the painted and K-Rend fronts take the onshore wind full on, and the salt in it settles on the brackets and seams and holds damp against the metal. Fixings that would last decades inland corrode away here in a handful of years. We replace the wasted brackets with coated or stainless alternatives, renew the perished seals, and swap any hopper or downpipe the salt has rusted through, so the repair stands up to the exposure.
Out on the newer clifftop plots around St Mary's Bay and Wall Park the runs collect leaf, needle and gull mess that washes down and packs the gully drains solid. A gutter can be perfectly sound and still flood when the drain beneath it is blocked. We put the rods through the gullies, refit the shoes so they sit square over the drains, and flush the runs to prove the water gets away rather than sheeting off the exposed walls in the wind.
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).
A clear, repeatable process.
No surprises, no upsells. The same method every job — that's how you get the same result every time.
- 01
Find the fault
We check the full run in the wet if we can — leaks, sags, cracked sections and the gully below — so we fix the actual cause, not just the symptom.
- 02
Repair the gutter
Joints re-sealed or replaced, brackets re-fixed for correct fall, broken sections and hoppers swapped to match the existing system.
- 03
Clear the drain
The gully drain and gully under the downpipe cleared and rodded so the water runs away properly.
- 04
Test & check
We flush the run through to confirm there are no remaining leaks and the drain takes the flow.
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.
We quote each job individually, not off a price list. The steep, van-unfriendly access on the harbour terraces adds time, and coastal corrosion often means replacing rather than resealing — both push the price up on the seafront. We assess the access and the salt damage first, then give you a free written quote.
All of TQ5 — the harbour and Fore Street, up through Higher Brixham and Mount Pleasant Road, out to St Mary's Bay and Wall Park, and along to Churston and Galmpton. We are about forty-five minutes from our Topsham base, so we cover the whole town and the bay.
Yes — the stacked terraces around the harbour are often only reachable on foot, with no van access nearby, and we are set up to carry the kit in and work off that kind of cramped, steep ground. We reach the run safely, sort the repair, and where a shared valley is involved we work out which section has actually failed.
We do — Churston, Galmpton and the clifftop plots around St Mary's Bay are all on our patch. We work Monday to Friday, eight until five, reply to every enquiry the same day, and the quote to come and assess the work is free.
