The Moore & Franks approach in Plymouth
Plymouth is Devon's big coastal city, and its scale shows in its uPVC — from the waterfront homes around the Hoe and Barbican to the sprawling estates inland, all of it weathered by sea air off the Sound and the grime of a busy city. Salt dulls the seafront frames; traffic film and algae grey the rest. Fascias, soffits and conservatory roofs lose their brightness across every postcode. Moore & Franks bring uPVC back to clean white, lifting salt, traffic film and weathering without aggressive scrubbing. A Devon family firm with 25 years' experience and £5m public liability cover on every job.
Across a city this size the uPVC problem changes street by street. Around the Barbican and Stoke the older limestone and rendered stock carries soot staining and biological growth, and the uPVC windows fitted into it grey down against the stone. City traffic leaves a film on the lower frames. We clean the plastic with a gentle solution and soft brush, keeping clear of the old stonework, so the frames brighten without anything harsh touching the historic fabric.
Salt-bearing winds off the Sound carry moisture deep into the streets of Peverell, Hartley and Crownhill, and north-facing frames, fascias and soffits there stay damp and green for weeks at a stretch. The 1930s semis of Mannamead show it on their long board runs. We lift the algae and salt film with a non-abrasive cleaner, reaching the higher fascias from the ground on poles, so the boards come back white without a ladder against the render.
The modern K-Rend estates out at Sherford and Saltram Meadow streak and discolour fast in the damp air, and their crisp uPVC clouds within a few years. On the tree-lined Victorian avenues of Mutley, leaf litter drops onto conservatory roofs and jams the trim. A regular wash of the cladding, sills and roof glazing keeps both the new estates and the older avenues looking their best, and pairs neatly with a gutter clear in one visit.
Our Plymouth customers are typically within 1 hour of our Exeter base. We cover the wider PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, PL5, PL6, PL7 postcode area and the surrounding villages (Plymouth Hoe, The Barbican, Devonport, Mutley & Mannamead, Plymstock, Plympton St Maurice).

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we get asked the most. If yours isn't here, drop us a line — we reply same day.
Plymouth work starts from £80 + VAT. Size and access set the rest — a compact Devonport terrace is quicker than a tall Mannamead semi with long, high fascias — and heavy soot or salt can add a little. Every quote is free and put in writing first.
Yes — from the Hoe and Barbican out to Devonport, Mutley, Mannamead, Plymstock and Plympton St Maurice, across PL1 to PL7. Plymouth is about an hour from our Topsham base, so we take on work right across the city and its edges.
No. We work only the plastic, using a mild solution and a soft brush with no pressure, so no water or product is forced into the porous limestone or render around the Barbican and Stoke. The stone is left alone while the frames come back bright.
Send a message or ring and we reply the same day, usually with a price once we know the property. We work weekdays, eight to five, and though Plymouth is our furthest patch, an hour down the A38, we cover the whole city.
