In Northbridge the limestone cleaning work is mostly on pool decks. Inter-war homes and large rebuilds on steep bushland blocks falling to Middle Harbour. The defining problem here is bushland shade and leaf litter that keep paths and stone green, with steep rear access, which decides the chemistry, the pressure and how often the surface needs attention.

We work around Northbridge Baths, Sailors Bay, Clive Park and the Northbridge Golf Club, on streets such as Sailors Bay Road, Strathallen Avenue, Baringa Road and Kameruka Road. Salt spray is the dominant force on Northbridge 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 Northbridge homes on quarterly glass and six to twelve-monthly soft-wash cycles rather than waiting for the grime to become visible.

Willoughby City Council. Willoughby City Council covers leafy bushland suburbs like Castlecrag and Northbridge, where Walter Burley Griffin-era stone homes and sandstone walls are common. Leaf litter and shade accelerate moss on roofs, paths and driveways, so annual roof and pathway cleaning is standard maintenance here.

Our method in Northbridge

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.
