Render Cleaning in Crediton

The Moore & Franks approach in Crediton

Set in the green, rolling country northwest of Exeter, Crediton gets plenty of mid-Devon rain and the valley mist that comes with it — and render here stays damp long enough for algae to take hold. The older render around the town centre and the newer estates climbing the surrounding hills both show green on their shaded elevations. It's farming country, wet underfoot for much of the year, and walls feel it. Moore & Franks clean render the safe way: a soft-wash biocide treatment that lifts the growth gently and keeps it off for months. Family-run, fully insured, and a quick run out from our Exeter base.

Crediton's High Street runs on warm red sandstone, but plenty of the town's cottages and terraces off Bowden Hill and Park Road are rendered over that soft old stone, and the render is where the green settles. Sitting low in the Creedy valley, these walls stay damp through long mornings, and algae takes a firm hold in the porous surface. We clear it gently, at a pressure the old fabric can take, and treat it to slow the return.

The newer render estates at Pedlerspool and climbing toward Forches Cross catch more wind but still sit under the tree cover that rings the town. Their silicone and K-Rend finishes streak black within a few years, and Crediton's still, cold valley air — which settles overnight and holds damp into spring — barely lets them dry. A low-pressure soft-wash lifts the growth without scarring the coating, and the biocide keeps working through the damp months after.

Out to Sandford, Newton St Cyres and Shobrooke the render sits among farmland, and that brings pollen, dust and organic debris on top of the usual algae, all of it settling faster than in the drier ground around Exeter. We soft-wash the full elevation and are honest about upkeep: with the fields and the valley damp working against it, a treated wall here benefits from an occasional refresh rather than one clean and forgotten.
