In Bronte the limestone cleaning work is mostly on sandstone, render. Steep-block homes in render and weatherboard, Federation semis and new concrete-and-glass rebuilds above the park. The defining problem here is steep sites with rear elevations only reachable by platform, and salt on everything facing the beach, which decides the chemistry, the pressure and how often the surface needs attention.

We work around Bronte Beach, Bronte Park, the baths and the gully, on streets such as Bronte Road, Macpherson Street, Hewlett Street and Gardyne Street. Salt spray is the dominant force on Bronte exteriors. Glass hazes within weeks, render streaks under sills and fixings rust-run within a season, and black algae colonises the shaded southern walls. We schedule Bronte homes on quarterly glass and six to twelve-monthly soft-wash cycles rather than waiting for the grime to become visible.

Waverley Council. Waverley Council manages Bondi, Bronte and Tamarama beaches and operates a stormwater-to-ocean catchment, so it is particularly vigilant about detergents and debris entering street drains. Coastal salt load means render, glass and metal weather fast here and benefit from a regular soft-wash schedule.

Our method in Bronte

How we clean it, and how we protect everything around it

An alkaline cleaner is applied to lift grime, a biocide treats growth, and poultices draw out tannin and rust over 24 hours. Rinsing is at under 800 psi with a wide fan. Sealing follows once the stone is dry.

No acid under any circumstances
Low pressure only
Mortar and grout protected
Pool water shielded

What clients say

I recently had my brick pavers cleaned by Prestige Standard and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail. My pavers went from looking dull and stained to fresh and almost brand new again.
