Ball clay has been dug from the Bovey Basin around Newton Abbot and Kingsteignton for generations, and the pits, processing works and lorries that serve them leave a fine pale deposit on local roads in wet weather. Keeping those haul routes clean is a long-standing requirement here, alongside similar work for aggregate and concrete suppliers in the area.

The town is also a junction. The A380 links it to Exeter and Torbay, the A38 Devon Expressway passes a few miles west, and the A382 and A383 feed traffic in from Bovey Tracey and Ashburton. Heathfield Industrial Estate and the Brunel estate near the station hold much of the area’s manufacturing and distribution, while new housing on the western side of town brings regular site sweeping.

Coverage in and around Newton Abbot

Kingsteignton, Kingskerswell, Ogwell, Heathfield and Bovey Tracey are covered along with the town itself, and operators serving the area also take work in Teignmouth, Ipplepen and Ashburton. Jobs up on the edge of Dartmoor involve slower roads and are better planned as longer shifts. As always, cover is confirmed when you enquire.

FAQs

Sweeper hire in Newton Abbot

Is clay on the road harder to sweep than ordinary mud?

Ball clay is fine and sticky, so it smears if left to be trafficked and is best lifted before it dries hard or turns to slurry. Operators familiar with the area use plenty of water and may suggest more frequent short visits in wet spells.

Do you cover Heathfield and Bovey Tracey from Newton Abbot?

Yes. Heathfield sits beside the A38 a few miles north-west of the town and Bovey Tracey is just beyond it on the A382. Both are covered from a Newton Abbot enquiry, subject to an operator being available for your dates.

Can a sweeper be booked for race days or events at the racecourse?

Car parks and approach roads can be swept before or after large events, provided access times are agreed with the venue. Evening or early-morning slots are usually the most practical, and they should be requested in good time.
