Plymouth’s sweeping work reflects a city built around the sea. Devonport Dockyard, the ferry terminal at Millbay and the commercial wharves on the Cattewater all generate heavy vehicle movements, bulk cargo handling and periodic construction, and each has its own rules on who can come through the gate.
Away from the waterfront, the A38 Devon Expressway carries almost everything in and out, crossing the Tamar Bridge into Cornwall. Industrial estates at Estover, Belliver and Langage, the hospital and commercial area at Derriford, and the new community of Sherford on the eastern side are regular sources of enquiries. Housebuilders there need site entrances kept clean, while surfacing contractors book sweepers to follow planers on the city’s main corridors.
Areas covered around Plymouth
Jobs are taken across the city, from Devonport, Stonehouse and the Barbican out to Plympton, Plymstock, Roborough and Derriford. Sherford, Langage and Ivybridge to the east, and Saltash and Torpoint across the Tamar, can normally be included. Cover depends on which operators are free, so each enquiry is confirmed individually before a booking is made.
