Render Cleaning in Teignmouth

The Moore & Franks approach in Teignmouth

Teignmouth gets weather from two directions — the open sea on one side, the Teign estuary on the other — and render here pays for it. The painted and rendered terraces near the front, and the homes climbing up towards Bishopsteignton, green up wherever the sun doesn't reach. Salt and estuary damp are a stubborn combination, and the algae they bring won't shift with rain alone. Moore & Franks treat render with a proper soft-wash: low pressure, the right biocide, no damage to the coating. We've cleaned render all over Teignmouth and we're only a short drive from our Exeter yard. Family-run, straight-dealing, £5m insured.

The tall Victorian and Regency houses set back behind the Triangle are some of Teignmouth's trickier render jobs. Three and four storeys, painted render over the older fabric, and packed tight together — they take marine grime high up where the sun rarely reaches, and the growth streaks down from the top. Height and access shape these cleans as much as the render itself, and a soft-wash from a safe set-up beats any attempt to force it.

The wooded valley at Coombe Vale funnels leaf and seed onto the roofs and render climbing toward Bishopsteignton, and the damp air off the Teign hangs over these streets long after the rain has stopped. The painted render so common in these streets soaks up marine staining faster than brick would, holding a grey-green film on every shaded gable. We clear it gently, in passes, so the colour returns without the paint or render lifting.

A good number of the frontages near the Den and Shaldon Bridge are holiday lets and second homes, where owners want the render smart for the season but are not around to watch it. We work to that, timing a clean before the summer and being plain about how long it will hold. The biocide keeps knocking back algae for months after, so a wall done in spring stays presentable right through the visitor months.
