Pressure Washing in Dawlish

The Moore & Franks approach in Dawlish

Dawlish takes the full force of the sea, as anyone who's watched waves break over the railway line knows. That exposure means driveways, patios and the painted frontages near the seafront pick up salt, sand and green growth fast, and the black mould on north-facing walls can get stubborn. Inland toward the warren and the newer estates it's much the same story with damp Devon winters. Moore & Franks clean it all properly, matching pressure and technique to each surface so nothing gets scarred. We're a family-run Devon firm with 25 years behind us and £5m insurance, and we'll restore your Dawlish home's kerb appeal without fuss.

Barton Hill's steep drives and flights of garden steps are a job in themselves, and Dawlish has plenty of them. Slopes and steps hold water, grow green in the shade and turn genuinely dangerous underfoot, so this is some of the most worthwhile cleaning we do here. We work safely on the gradients, clearing algae off concrete, stone and block, and can give the worst-affected steps extra attention. A clean, grippy path down to the door makes a real difference on these hills.

Down toward Holcombe and Smugglers Lane the wooded valley sides shade the ground and drop leaf litter across paths and patios that then rots into a slick black film. Combine that with the constant coastal damp and surfaces here stay wet far longer than inland. We lift the lot, and on the shadiest north-facing paving an optional biocide top-coat, brushed on after cleaning, holds the regrowth back through the wet Dawlish winter.

Nearer the front, the tightly-packed terraces around The Strand and the holiday flats above Dawlish Water share paths, bin areas and small courtyards that green over fast and want regular attention between lets. Out at Secmaton and Sandy Lane the newer estates have block and imprinted-concrete drives that pick up coastal grime quickly. We handle both, weekdays from eight to five, with a free written quote sent the same day you ask.
