Play Park & Soft-Surface Sanitising in Tiverton

The Moore & Franks approach in Tiverton

Sitting in a damp, wooded valley where the Exe meets the Lowman, Tiverton hands its play areas plenty of shade and moisture and no sea breeze to dry them out. The play park near the Grand Western Canal, the recreation grounds around Westexe and Elmore and the school playgrounds all sit under tree cover that keeps wet-pour and rubber matting green and greasy for most of the year. Leaf fall off the canal and the Lowman settles into the surfacing and stains it. Our DOFF III superheated steam sanitises frames, soft-play, changing rooms and bonded surfaces, lifting algae and grime with products entirely non-hazardous to children.

In Tiverton a lot of the play and soft surfaces belong to schools and sports clubs — pre-schools dotted around Westexe and Elmore, the rugby and football clubs with their pavilions, and school grounds of every size out toward the Blundell's side of town. Schools, clubs and councils are exactly who we work for, and they need a firm that's insured, turns up when it says, and works around fixtures and term times. A steam sanitise clears the equipment and the changing facilities alike without shutting anything for long.

The kit sits under heavy tree cover here and stays damp, so it greens up and the algae works right into the surface. Blasting it cold would only force water deeper and scatter the growth about. The DOFF III does the job properly — the steam runs hot enough to sanitise but at a pressure gentle enough to leave painted frames, slides and safety matting sound. It kills the algae rather than spreading it, and the surface dries out instead of staying sodden on the shaded sites near the Grand Western Canal.

No sea salt this far inland, but the trade-off is shade and slow-drying damp, so growth returns steadily and we're upfront about it. A yearly sanitise, timed before the busy spring and summer, keeps a Tiverton park or playground presentable, and an optional non-hazardous sanitiser over the top slows the green coming back on the shadiest bays. We set a realistic interval rather than booking a site in more often than the equipment needs.
