Play Park & Soft-Surface Sanitising in Paignton

The Moore & Franks approach in Paignton

As a working seaside town, Paignton runs play areas that see real footfall — the play park near the harbour, the soft surfaces around Goodrington and Clennon Valley and the holiday-park surfacing that fills up every summer. Sitting right on Tor Bay, they cop salt-laden onshore wind and regular sea fret that keep wet-pour and rubber matting damp and green, while sand tracked off Preston and Goodrington Sands grinds into the footings. Leafier inland streets add their own leaf-fall on top. We bring DOFF III superheated steam in to sanitise frames, soft-play, changing rooms and bonded surfaces, clearing salt film, sand and algae with non-hazardous, child-safe products.

Sand is the extra ingredient on Paignton's play surfaces that inland parks never deal with. Tracked off Preston and Goodrington Sands, it grinds down into the wet-pour and settles in the footings and joints of frames, holding damp and giving algae somewhere to sit. A sweep barely touches it. The DOFF III steam drives into the surfacing at temperature, lifting the sand-and-algae film out of the material and sanitising the equipment as it goes, rather than just wetting the top and shifting the grit about.

On a working seaside town's play areas the footfall is relentless in season, and it shows in the residue. Spilt ice cream, sticky handholds, food dropped into the matting and general grime coat the surfaces the youngest children are most hands-on with. Steam sanitises those contact points at temperature, clearing what a quick brush-down leaves behind — which matters most on the packed harbour and Goodrington sites right through the summer.

Sitting right on Tor Bay, Paignton surfaces pick the film back up sooner than inland ones, so we talk owners through a sensible rhythm rather than pretending one clean lasts a year. A proper sanitise at the start of the season keeps a park presentable through the busy months, and an optional non-hazardous sanitiser over the steam-cleaned surface slows the salt and green returning. On the leafier inland roads, autumn leaf fall is the bigger factor, so timing shifts a little.
