Render Cleaning in Exmouth

The Moore & Franks approach in Exmouth

Salt air and a near-constant breeze off the estuary make Exmouth tough on rendered walls. The seafront crescents and the newer builds up around Brixington and Littleham all take a battering — render holds damp, and damp brings green and black algae that turns a smart wall grubby within a couple of seasons. Pressure washing only forces water behind the coating and makes it worse. Moore & Franks treat render the gentle way: a soft-wash biocide that clears the growth and keeps working for months after we've packed up. We've cleaned render right across Exmouth, coast-facing and inland, and we're a short run down from our Topsham base.

Newer render dominates the edges of Exmouth, and it's where we're busiest — the K-Rend and silicone estates around Liverton Copse and Dinan Way looked pristine when they went up but green fast in the humid estuary air. Fresh render holds moisture in its early years, and the shaded, north-facing panels show it first. A low-pressure treatment clears the growth without touching the coating, which on these thin modern finishes matters a great deal.

The older heart of Exmouth wears the weather differently. The Victorian terraces near the railway and the painted frontages around Louisa Terrace and The Maer have carried decades of salt and marine grime, and it settles deep into porous render and paintwork. These surfaces will not take a jet-lance without blowing patches, so we work them gently, lifting the staining in stages rather than forcing it and leaving the render sound underneath.

What we won't do is promise Exmouth render stays clean forever — the sea sees to that. A wall a mile inland at Brixington will hold its finish longer than one taking spray off Queen's Drive, and we'll say so honestly. The biocide keeps working on the growth for months after we leave, and most owners here settle into a light refresh every few years rather than letting the growth re-establish.
