Everything homeowners usually ask before booking us in. Can't find your answer? Get in touch and we'll respond within 24 hours.
Ask Us AnythingRequest a free quote and we'll respond within 24 hours with a fixed written quote — every surface and treatment itemised, with sealing priced separately so you can decide. No hourly rates, and no extras added on the day.
Yes — we're fully insured with $20m public liability cover.
Sandstone, render and aged concrete all need different treatment, so we match the method to the surface rather than blasting everything the same way. We identify what you have, test an inconspicuous area first, and tell you honestly what can and can't be restored.
We cover 106 Sydney suburbs across the Eastern Suburbs, North Shore and Northern Beaches — from the salt-hammered ocean strip to the canopy-shaded North Shore.
Growth is pre-treated so it's killed at the root rather than blasted off the top. Planting, lighting and pool areas are covered before we start, and runoff is controlled on sloped blocks.
We finish every job with a walkthrough — we walk the property with you and address anything you're not happy with on the spot. Nothing is signed off until you've seen every surface yourself, and you receive a photo report on every job.
