Play Park & Soft-Surface Sanitising in Exeter

The Moore & Franks approach in Exeter

Across Exeter there's a play park or soft surface on nearly every estate — from the wet-pour around Heavitree Pleasure Ground to the school playgrounds out at Cranbrook and Newcourt and the soft-play centres tucked behind the Quay. The city's damp Exe-valley air keeps rubber crumb, climbing frames and bonded-mulch surfaces greasy with algae and grime that ordinary jet-washing just spreads about. We use DOFF III superheated steam to sanitise the lot — frames, matting, changing rooms, the works — with non-hazardous products that leave nothing harmful behind for little hands. We're based five minutes away on Ferryman Way in Topsham, so we know these sites. Twenty-five years on, insured to £5m, free quote whenever you need one.

A city the size of Exeter runs a huge spread of equipment — the multiplay towers and cradle swings on the estate parks at Pinhoe, the wet-pour roundabouts on the rec grounds, and the bonded rubber matting under the frames at the primary schools around St Thomas and Wonford. Every one of those surfaces has joints, moulded seats and handholds where grime settles and turns slick. The DOFF III steam gets down into all of it, lifting the build-up the surface itself holds rather than skating over the top.

We work for the people who look after these sites — parish clerks, school business managers, nursery owners and the volunteers who keep a community park going. In a busy city that mostly means fitting the work around use: an early start on a school playground before the children arrive, or a weekday on an estate rec ground once the after-school rush has died down. We can cordon off one section, sanitise it and move along, so nothing has to shut for a whole day.

Heat, not pressure, is what makes this safe on children's kit. The DOFF III runs the steam hot enough to sanitise but gentle enough that it won't strip paint off a climbing frame or drive water into soft matting. Where a site wants longer between visits we can lay a non-hazardous sanitiser over the top once the steam work is done, and we'll give you an honest steer on how quickly Exeter's damp brings the green back rather than selling a schedule you don't need.
