Pressure Washing in Teignmouth

The Moore & Franks approach in Teignmouth

Teignmouth's split personality, beach on one side and the working Teign quay on the other, means surfaces here cop a lot: sea salt, river damp and the grime of a busy little port. The colourful Georgian and Victorian terraces along the front look smart when clean but green over quickly in the shade, and the back lanes hold moss all winter. Moore & Franks know how to bring tired paving, steps and rendered walls back to life without damaging soft old materials. We're a Devon family business, 25 years in the trade and insured to £5m, working right across the south coast. Solid work, fair price, and a finish you'll notice from the street.

Up on the Bishopsteignton slopes and around Coombe Vale, Teignmouth's houses tend to have tiered gardens, decked terraces and long stepped paths cut into the hillside. All that timber and stone sits in the shade of the wooded valley and greens over fast, and the decking in particular goes grey and slippery in the damp. We clean it along the grain at a controlled pressure, clear the steps and paths, and make the climb up to the door safe again.

Nearer the water, the salt and sea fret that drift in off the Teign work into concrete and block, holding a fine grey film that ordinary rain never shifts. The painted render and soft old stone in the streets behind the Den cannot take a hard blast, so we drop to a gentler setting or soft wash to protect it. Astroturf lawns in the smaller courtyards get a low-pressure wash-through with a pet-deodorising treatment rather than a battering.

Teignmouth's holiday flats and second homes mean plenty of shared entrance paths and small paved yards that need to look sharp between lets, and we are happy to set those up on a regular schedule. On any shaded, slow-drying surface an optional biocide top-coat after washing keeps the green at bay for longer, which matters in a town where the marine damp never really lets up. We quote free, in writing, and reply the same day.
