In Darling Point the sandstone cleaning work is mostly on heritage sandstone. Harbourfront towers from the 1960s onward, historic mansions and converted estates with sandstone walls. The defining problem here is high-rise balcony glass and facades facing the harbour, and heritage sandstone walls along the ridge, which decides the chemistry, the pressure and how often the surface needs attention.

We work around McKell Park, Darling Point Reserve, St Mark's Church and the Yarranabbe Road foreshore, on streets such as Darling Point Road, Yarranabbe Road, Thornton Street and Mona Road. Waterfront properties in Darling Point combine moisture, shade from established gardens and salt-laden air off the water. Sandstone terraces, pool coping and timber decks grow slippery biological film, and every property drains toward the water, so run-off capture is a condition of working here, not an option.

Woollahra Municipal Council. Woollahra has one of the highest concentrations of heritage-listed homes and Heritage Conservation Areas in Sydney. Many properties feature original sandstone, slate and terracotta that must be cleaned with low-pressure, chemical-controlled methods. Council also enforces strict stormwater rules: wash water cannot be discharged into gutters that drain to the harbour.

Our method in Darling Point

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

A quaternary ammonium or hypochlorite biocide is applied and left to work for 20 to 30 minutes, then the surface is brushed and rinsed at under 500 psi with a fan nozzle. Rust from ironstone inclusions is treated with a reducing poultice. No acid is used.

Pressure capped at 500 psi on all sandstone
Lime mortar joints protected
Carved detail brushed by hand
Heritage documentation on request

What clients say

We are extremely happy about Nathan's work. Our house is totally transformed after he pressure jet the place. The sandstone stairs and surround have restored to its former glory. Driveways are like new.

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.
