Roof Cleaning in Paignton

The Moore & Franks approach in Paignton

Paignton spreads along Torbay with a broad mix of housing — seafront terraces, interwar semis and big swathes of bungalows running back from the front. Sitting right on the bay, it takes salt air and damp coastal weather that keep roofs greening over, especially on the shaded sides and across the low-pitched bungalow roofs that hold moisture. We clear the moss off by hand, treat the whole roof to slow the regrowth, and clear the gutters while we're up there. Family-run from along the coast, fully insured to £5m, and tidy when the job's done.

Behind Preston Sands the streets turn leafy and sheltered, and what they escape in salt they make up for in leaf fall and damp shade, so the roofs there green over just as readily on the sunless side. We hand-scrape the moss off with carbon-fibre tools from the ground, soft-wash a biocide over the slope to kill the spores where they sit, and vacuum the leaf-clogged gutters clear while we are set up. It keeps the water running off cleanly through Paignton's wet winters.

The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Palace Avenue and Roundham sit alongside sprawling post-war semis through Preston and Goodrington, and the salt-laden wind drives moisture into render and masonry across all of them. We can soft-wash render and roof in one visit, killing the black algae streaking the pebbledashed gables. Nothing gets leaned against the render, and the gutters are cleared by vacuum from the ground after.

The modern estates out toward Blagdon and Clennon have render and concrete tile that pick up the humid, salty grime fast, so a biocide top-coat is worth having to slow the regrowth. With Paignton's sea fret keeping surfaces damp and rarely giving roofs a proper dry spell, growth comes back quicker than inland.
