Signage & Awning Cleaning in Teignmouth

The Moore & Franks approach in Teignmouth

Teignmouth's trade clusters around the seafront and the Den, the shops and cafés through the Triangle, and the businesses down by the harbour and Shaldon bridge. It's a coastal town, so signage cops salt spray and estuary damp that leave a dulling film and feed green streaking on awnings and fascia boards. The painted signs on the older frontages behind the front show marine grime sooner than most. We clean it all back — fascia signs, projecting signs, canopies and awnings — with the method matched to each surface, reached from the ground by pole, and timed for early morning before the seafront wakes up. A local Devon team who know coastal signage.

We match the method to the sign. Illuminated fascia signs, acrylic and Foamex panels, powder-coated and painted metal, vinyl graphics and fabric awnings all need different handling — the wrong chemical or too much pressure lifts vinyl lettering and dulls acrylic. We start with a specialist cleaning agent to break down the built-up grime, follow with a hand brush across the surface and lettering, then a low-pressure warm-water rinse that leaves the finish restored rather than scoured.

Access is rarely a problem. High-level fascia signs, totems and forecourt signage are reached from the ground with our water-fed pole system, so there's no scaffold hire and no ladders leaning against your frontage. Where a sign is genuinely out of pole reach we'll specify a tower or access platform on the quote.

We work around your trading hours. Most shopfronts and retail parks prefer an early-morning clean before the doors open, and we carry our own water supply so we're not reliant on an outside tap — useful on high-street units and industrial estates where water access is awkward. One-off cleans, pre-refit tidy-ups and scheduled maintenance for multi-site retailers are all straightforward to arrange.
