uPVC Cleaning in Dawlish

The Moore & Franks approach in Dawlish

Dawlish takes the weather full in the face — the railway line runs right along the seawall, and the homes behind it cop the same salt spray and storm-driven rain. uPVC frames, fascias and conservatory roofs here weather faster than almost anywhere in Devon, going chalky white and streaked with salt film a garden hose won't touch. The terraces near The Strand and the bungalows up the hills all show it. Moore & Franks handle exposed coastal uPVC every week: we shift salt, algae and weathering safely and leave frames properly bright. Family-run, fully insured, and built for Devon's tougher seafronts.

The salt that coats Dawlish frames does not stop at the seafront — it drifts up over Barton Hill and into Holcombe, so even homes set back from the water wear a chalky film on their sills and door frames. On the steep terraces the fascia boards streak white with dried salt spray. We break that down with a specialist solution rather than force, then rinse, so the plastic comes back bright without the hazing that scrubbing would leave.

The wooded valleys around Holcombe and Smugglers Lane throw deep shade and drop leaf litter onto flat conservatory roofs, where it rots into a brown organic film the rain never clears. North-facing frames in that shade green over on top of the salt. We rinse the roof panels back to clear glass and work the growth off the surrounding trim, so light gets back into the conservatory and the frames look clean rather than tired.

Newer estates toward Secmaton Lane and Sandy Lane are not spared either — their light render and moulded uPVC pick up coastal grime within a season or two. Down by Dawlish Water, where the town's famous black swans nest, the damp lingers along The Strand and keeps frames greening. Wherever the house sits, a regular clean of the cladding, sills and downpipes stops the salt and algae building into something that needs far more work to shift.
