Signage & Awning Cleaning in Tiverton

The Moore & Franks approach in Tiverton

Tiverton is mid-Devon's main shopping town, and we know it well — we've a landline here and cover it constantly. The retail through Bampton Street and Fore Street, the units on the Great Western industrial estate, and the signage around the retail park all pick up the grime and green staining that come with the town's damp river-valley setting. Fascia signs dull, awnings streak, and totems lose their colour under a season's dirt. We clean them back to suit the material — hand-brushed and low-pressure rinsed, reached from the ground, no scaffold. Cleaned early before trade starts, priced with a free quote, by a team that's a genuinely local fixture.

Tiverton keeps us busy. From the shops and cafes around Gold Street and the Pannier Market to the trade counters on the industrial estates and the professional offices near Angel Hill, the signage here spans small independents and larger commercial units. We handle the lot — a corner-shop fascia one morning, a run of estate totems the next — and because we are in the town so often, fitting a clean in around our other work here is rarely a problem.

A fair bit of Tiverton's older signage sits on rendered and painted walls. The Victorian terraces packed through Westexe and Elmore carry wall-mounted and painted fascia signs on porous surfaces that soak up the valley damp and green over on the shaded side. These need a gentler clean than a sealed modern panel — a soft brush and warm rinse rather than anything that drives water into the render. The illuminated boxes on the newer units are cleaned around their seals so the light stays even.

There is no sea salt this far inland, but Tiverton makes up for it with shade and damp. The town sits low where the Exe meets the Lowman, ringed by woodland, and mature trees along the Grand Western Canal drop leaf and seed that streak awnings and settle on fascia boards. Signs dry slowly and green persistently rather than dramatically, so the honest answer for the worst frontages is a lighter clean more often, which we are happy to schedule.

Our Tiverton customers are typically within 25 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider EX16 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Tiverton town centre & Westexe, Grand Western Canal, Blundell's School, Bolham & Knightshayes, Chettiscombe, Elmore).
