The Moore & Franks approach in Topsham
Topsham's Dutch-gabled merchant houses, cobbled stretches and estuary-side cottages give the town its character, but they sit in a damp, low-lying spot where the Exe runs close and the air stays moist. Old brick paths, flagstone patios and period frontages green up quickly here, and the tidal mud doesn't help. Moore & Franks are practically neighbours, based just up the road on Ferryman Way, so we know the town's older surfaces and treat them with care. We match the pressure to the material, lift moss and algae without damaging soft old brick or stone, and keep the heritage look intact. Family-run, 25 years in, and proud to keep Topsham's streets looking their best.
Space is tight in Topsham, and much of the work is small, awkward and worth doing well: brick-paved yards, the narrow side passages behind Fore Street, and the little courtyard gardens tucked off the Strand. These sheltered corners rarely catch direct sun, so leaf mould and green algae build up and the ground turns slick underfoot. We are happy to take on the smaller jobs bigger outfits find fiddly to price, matching the pressure to soft old brick so nothing gets chewed up.
Out on the Exeter Road and the newer riverside developments the picture changes: pattern-imprinted concrete and block drives that green over on the shaded sides and lose their crispness within a few years. Decking and garden furniture take a beating from the estuary damp off Bowling Green Marsh, going grey and slippery long before they should. We clean timber at a gentler, controlled pressure that clears the algae from the grain, and can re-treat it afterwards if you want the colour brought back.
For the town's smaller lawns, artificial grass has become popular, and we wash it through at low pressure with a pet-deodorising treatment rather than blasting the pile flat. On any hard surface, the damp air that rolls up from the Goat Walk and the Lock means growth returns quickly, so an optional biocide top-coat after cleaning buys you longer between visits. We work weekdays, eight till five, and give a free written price before we start.
Our Topsham customers are typically within 10 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider EX3 postcode area and the surrounding villages (The Strand & the Quay, Goat Walk riverside path, Bowling Green Marsh, Fore Street, Darts Farm, Topsham Lock).

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we get asked the most. If yours isn't here, drop us a line — we reply same day.
It starts at £80 + VAT. In Topsham the main cost factor is access rather than size: the tight passages, courtyard gardens and shared yards behind the older terraces take longer to set up and protect than an open driveway, though the areas themselves are often small. You will always get a fixed written price first.
The whole of EX3, from the Strand and the Quay to Fore Street, the streets around Bowling Green Marsh and out to the Exeter Road and Riverside estates. We also cover Darts Farm and the lanes toward Topsham Lock. Being local, small jobs are easy for us to reach.
Not the way we do it. Soft, porous Victorian brick and worn stone paving cannot take a heavy blast, so we drop the pressure right down or switch to a soft wash that lifts the growth without opening up the surface or blowing out old lime pointing.
Usually quickly. We are a short hop away and reply to enquiries the same day, so small courtyard and path cleans are easy to slot in. Send a photo or two, we will quote in writing, and weekday slots are usually easy to find.
