Solar Panel Cleaning in Crediton

The Moore & Franks approach in Crediton

Crediton sits among the rolling red-soil farmland of Mid Devon, and that rich agricultural country is exactly why local solar panels get dirty. Fine red dust off the fields, pollen through spring and summer, and a fair amount of bird mess all settle on south-facing roofs across town and the surrounding villages. The damp inland air then bakes it into a hazy film that drags your generation down. We're a family-run Devon firm and we clean the proper way: purified water, soft brushing, every panel reached from the ground. No abrasives, no chemicals, no boots on your tiles. The red dust lifts away and your array goes back to producing what it should.

Overnight the Creedy valley cools and fills with still, damp air that clings to rooftops well into the morning, long after higher ground has dried. Solar panels held wet like that for hours give algae an easy start, and once it takes on north-facing glass it thickens through the shorter, greyer months. A wash with pure water resets the surface, though in a valley this slow to dry an annual clean is the sensible rhythm.

The red-sandstone cottages along the High Street and off Bowden Hill were raised centuries before solar, and their steep, aged roofs are no place for foot traffic. Where panels have gone up on them, cleaning from the ground is the only sensible route, and our poles reach the glass while the soft old stone and slate below go untouched. Pure water lifts the red field dust without scratching a thing.

Newer homes climbing toward Pedlerspool and Forches Cross catch more wind and sit more open, and their builder-fitted arrays often show a first-clean jump you can watch on the app. Being an easy run up the valley from Topsham, we get out to those estates and to the outlying villages of Sandford, Newton St Cyres and Shobrooke as readily as the town itself. Roof-mounted or ground-mounted, the panels are cleared the same careful way.

Our Crediton customers are typically within 20 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider EX17 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Crediton Parish Church (Holy Cross), Lords Meadow Leisure Centre, Newcombes Meadow, Sandford, Newton St Cyres, Shobrooke).
