Window Cleaning in Budleigh Salterton

The Moore & Franks approach in Budleigh Salterton

Budleigh Salterton is a genteel sort of town, with handsome Victorian and Edwardian villas set back behind well-kept gardens and a pebble beach that throws up plenty of salt air. Larger detached homes here often have generous bay windows and upper storeys that aren't easy to reach safely, and the sea breeze keeps the glass quietly dulling. We handle it with pure-water reach poles that do the high panes from the ground and leave a clean, streak-free finish, frames and sills included. As an established Devon family firm with twenty-five years behind us and £5m cover, we give the place the careful, unhurried service it expects.

The big mature gardens that make Budleigh Salterton so leafy are also why so much of its glass films over. Around South Farm Road and the roads climbing above the town, tall trees drop pollen, sap and seed onto windows and conservatory roofs, and in the coastal damp it turns to a sticky green haze rather than blowing off. Pure water lifts that stickiness where a dry cloth just smears it, and the glass dries clear with nothing left in the corners.

Come autumn the same trees fill sills, reveals and conservatory gutters with leaf litter, and north-facing glass under the canopy stays green well into spring. Homes with a lot of tree cover often move off the standard quarterly onto something more frequent to keep on top of it. We agree the interval up front and simply return on the cycle, so there is nothing to remember and no phone calls to chase a visit.

There are a lot of large detached homes and bungalows here with conservatories and, increasingly, solar panels on south-facing roofs. Both film up in the salt air and the tree fall, and both come back to life off the pole. A conservatory roof is quoted by size, £50 + VAT for a small roof up to £90 + VAT for a large, and panels are £7 + VAT each cleaned in the same visit, which keeps a filmed array producing what it should through the summer.
