The Moore & Franks approach in Exmouth
Exmouth's seafront play areas take a hammering nobody inland sees. The play park down by Queen's Drive, the soft surfaces near The Maer and the school grounds through Withycombe and Brixington all sit in salt-laden estuary air that feeds black algae into every bit of wet-pour and rubber matting. Add the sand tracked off the beach grinding into climbing-frame footings and you've a hygiene problem that builds fast. Our DOFF III superheated-steam rig lifts the lot — algae, sand, gull mess, ground-in grime — and sanitises frames, soft-play and changing rooms with products that are completely non-hazardous to children. Family-run from just up the estuary at Topsham, fully insured to £5m, free no-obligation quote.
There's more than green algae on a well-used play park. Sticky handholds, spilt drinks, food trodden into the matting and general grime all leave residue on the very surfaces small children put their hands and mouths near. On the estate play areas through Littleham and Brixington, where footfall runs heavy year-round, that build-up gets into every joint and seat. DOFF III superheated steam sanitises those contact points at temperature, clearing the organic muck a quick sweep or a cold hose never shifts.
Exmouth being a resort, a fair few of the soft surfaces we're asked about belong to holiday parks, beach cafés with play corners and the sports clubs near the seafront. Owners here know salt film settles back fast, so we're realistic about rhythm — a proper sanitise at the start of the season keeps a park presentable through the busy months. An optional non-hazardous sanitiser, laid over the steam-cleaned surface, buys a little longer before the film and the green return.
The kit on these sites takes salt as well as use, so the last thing it needs is a high-pressure blast forcing damp into the fixings. The DOFF III works the other way round — heat does the sanitising while the pressure stays low, so powder-coated frames, moulded slides and rubber matting aren't stripped or waterlogged. Surfaces dry quickly after steam, so a play area down towards the seafront can be back open the same afternoon rather than roped off for days.
Our Exmouth customers are typically within 25 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider EX8 postcode area and the surrounding villages (The Beacon, Littleham, Withycombe Raleigh, Brixington, Exmouth Seafront & Marina, Lympstone).

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 every job free after seeing it rather than working to a set price. Exposure is the big cost factor on the coast: a salt-caked seafront play area with sand ground into the matting takes more work than a sheltered inland one at Brixington. You'll get a clear written figure with no obligation.
The lot — from the seafront play parks and the school grounds through Withycombe Raleigh to the estate areas at Littleham and Brixington, and out to Lympstone. If your play park, soft-play or changing room sits in the EX8 postcode, we'll come to it.
Some film will, yes — that's coastal life. But it's the salt and algae left sitting that make a surface grubby and slick, and clearing them at temperature resets the equipment properly. An optional non-hazardous top-coat slows the return, and we'll suggest a sensible interval rather than overselling visits.
Yes. We'll plan around your busy periods and work through a site section by section so nothing shuts for long. We're a two-man family firm, so you deal with the same pair each time, Monday to Friday, with a same-day reply when you get in touch.
