Pressure Washing in Sidmouth

The Moore & Franks approach in Sidmouth

Sidmouth's Regency esplanade and elegant period villas are part of what makes it one of Devon's prettiest seaside towns, and those owners rightly want their frontages spotless. Sitting under the red cliffs with sea spray rolling in, the town's patios, paths and rendered walls collect salt film and green algae at pace. The grand old properties here often have natural stone and soft render that need a careful hand, not a blunt blast. Moore & Franks bring the judgement that comes with 25 years on Devon surfaces, cleaning to a high finish without harming delicate materials. Family-run, fully insured, and trusted to treat Sidmouth's smarter homes with the care they deserve.

Many Sidmouth homeowners keep their gardens and frontages immaculate, and a lot of our work here is the careful upkeep that expectation demands: sun-terraces and decking behind the Sidford and Woolbrook semis, garden steps, ornamental paving and the odd astroturf lawn laid for low maintenance. These are not rush jobs. We take the time to protect planting, work the pressure down on softer surfaces, and leave the place tidy, which is exactly what the town's settled, house-proud owners tend to want.

The Sid valley is what keeps growth coming back. Hemmed in by Peak Hill and Salcombe Hill, the town sits in shade for much of the day, and the damp that rolls down the wooded slopes settles on north-facing patios and paths that never properly dry. Concrete and stone go green quickly, and timber decking turns slick and grey. We clean it back cleanly, and where a surface is shaded and slow-drying we suggest an optional biocide finish to slow the return.

Newer render-and-block estates up toward the Bowd and Sidbury have modern pattern-imprinted and block driveways that lose their sealant and start trapping algae after a few winters. We clean and, where wanted, reseal and re-sand them. Access in the older streets near the seafront can be tight, so we plan around parking and run hoses neatly. Everything is priced in writing for free first, and we reply the same day you get in touch.
