uPVC Cleaning in Cullompton

The Moore & Franks approach in Cullompton

Cullompton sits in the Culm valley on the M5 corridor, and that's a double hit for uPVC — low-lying damp from the river meadows, plus a steady drift of road grime and traffic film off the motorway nearby. White frames, fascias and conservatory roofs on the town's older terraces and newer estates pick it up fast, greying and greening before long. A hose just moves it around. Moore & Franks clean uPVC the thorough way, lifting traffic film and algae without damaging the surface, and leaving everything bright. A genuine Devon family firm, 25 years in, with £5m public liability cover.

Traffic film off the M5 is not the only thing dulling Cullompton uPVC — the historic core around Fore Street and St Andrew's is cob, lime render and old clay tile, much of it listed, with uPVC windows and doors fitted in over the years. On these sensitive frontages we keep strictly to the plastic, using a mild solution and soft brushing so the cleaning never touches the fragile render or mortar behind the frames.

The newer estates at Knightswood and out toward Colebrook are render-heavy modern builds, and their crisp uPVC trim streaks and greens within a few seasons in the valley damp. Sitting low by the River Culm, these homes rarely get a proper dry spell. We lift the early film off the cladding, sills and conservatory roofs before it stains, so a house only a few years old looks freshly handed over again rather than prematurely tired.

Farmland rings the town on every side, and the pollen, dust and organic muck it throws settle onto frames and boards along with the road grime. The prevailing south-westerlies drive rain hard against west-facing gables, working that muck into the surface. A wash every year or so of the frames, downpipes and porch trim keeps it from building, and doing the uPVC alongside the gutters saves setting up access twice.
