Play Park & Soft-Surface Sanitising in Cullompton

The Moore & Franks approach in Cullompton

Cullompton's play areas, from the recreation ground near St Andrew's to the soft surfaces on the growing Knightswood and Colebrook estates, sit low in the Culm Valley where damp air and morning mist hang about. The south-westerlies drive rain across exposed surfacing, and mature trees along the River Culm shed leaf and seed straight into wet-pour and rubber matting — which greens up and turns slick before long. Farmland on every edge adds pollen and dust to the mix. We bring DOFF III superheated steam in to sanitise frames, soft-play, changing rooms and bonded surfaces, clearing algae, leaf stain and grime with non-hazardous, child-safe products.

Cullompton is growing fast, and the new estates at Knightswood and Colebrook have brought a run of modern play areas with them — bright multiplay units, wet-pour and the odd small ball court — alongside the older recreation ground near St Andrew's. New surfacing greens over just as readily as old, and developers' handover cleans rarely go beyond a quick sweep. We come in with the DOFF III and sanitise the equipment and matting properly, so a new estate park actually starts life clean rather than just looking it.

Each of those surfaces asks for slightly different handling. The moulded plastic of a modern multiplay unit, the steel of an older frame and the textured wet-pour underneath all take the steam at their own rate, so we adjust as we go — hotter and slower into deep joints, lighter over soft matting. The parts children touch most — handholds, grab-rails, the tops of the springers and the seats — get the closest attention, whether it's a Colebrook estate frame or the older kit by St Andrew's.

The right approach on all of it is heat rather than force. Superheated steam sanitises at a pressure low enough to leave painted frames and soft surfacing unharmed, where a cold pressure-washer would drive water into the matting and just move the algae around. Cullompton's valley damp and the pollen and dust off the surrounding farmland bring growth back in time, so an optional non-hazardous top-coat over the steam-cleaned surface helps hold it off between visits.
