The Moore & Franks approach in Teignmouth
With the sea on one side and the Teign estuary on the other, Teignmouth gutters cop damp from every angle and salt that eats away at the fixings. The tall Victorian and Regency houses behind the Triangle run high cast-iron that splits at aged joints and overflows down painted render, while the semis climbing toward Bishopsteignton and Coombe Vale block at the downpipe with wind-driven leaf and seed off the valleys. We reseal and refit leaking joints, replace failed hoppers and downpipe lengths, and clear silted gullies so the water runs away properly again. Listed and period work near the front gets a careful, low-impact touch. Family-run, twenty-five years, fully insured — free quote first.
The tall three- and four-storey townhouses along the front and around the Den put their guttering a long way up, and getting to a leaking joint at that height safely is where a lot of the skill lies. We come properly equipped for the height rather than balancing a ladder against soft painted render. Working at the top of these seafront houses, we reseal the joint, refit the run or swap the corroded section, and get down again without leaving a mark on the frontage.
Painted render is everywhere in the older streets, and it shows every drip. Once a joint above it starts weeping, the water tracks down and stains the paint long before anyone spots the actual fault in the gutter. Over the bridge on the Shaldon side it is the same story on the rendered cottages. We trace the leak back to its source, reseal or replace the joint, and reset the fall so the run sheds cleanly and the render below stops getting a soaking.
On the slopes up towards Bishopsteignton the wind carries seed and leaf litter off the valley straight into the runs, and it settles in the gully drains as much as the gutters. A sound gutter still backs up if the drain below is silted. We rod the silted drains, reseat the shoes over them, and pour water through to be certain nothing is ponding at the outlet and the whole run gets away.
Our Teignmouth customers are typically within 25 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider TQ14 postcode area and the surrounding villages (The Den & seafront, Shaldon Bridge, Teignmouth Pier, The Triangle, Bishopsteignton, Coombe Vale).
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.
Each job is quoted on its own — there is no fixed rate. The main cost factor here is height: reaching a leaking joint on a four-storey seafront townhouse takes more setting up than a run on a bungalow behind the Triangle. We assess the access first, then give you a free written quote.
All of TQ14 — the seafront and the Den, the streets behind the Triangle, up towards Bishopsteignton and Coombe Vale, and across Shaldon Bridge to the cottages on the far bank. We are around twenty-five minutes from Topsham, so it is a town we are in regularly.
Yes. The front is full of three- and four-storey townhouses, and we come equipped for that height rather than propping a ladder against painted render. We reach the run safely, carry out the repair, and leave the frontage unmarked. Where a job genuinely needs a tower we will say so on the quote.
Always — coming to look and pricing the work is free and puts you under no obligation. We work weekdays from eight until five and answer every enquiry the same day, so a leaking joint gets seen to without a long wait.
