Stone Sealing in Avalon Beach

In Avalon Beach the stone sealing work is mostly on sandstone. Beach houses, mid-century homes in the bush and Pittwater waterfront houses at Careel Bay. The defining problem here is salt on the beach side, spotted gum shade on the bush side, and timber that must be washed gently, which decides the chemistry, the pressure and how often the surface needs attention.

We work around Avalon Beach, Bangalley Head, Careel Bay and the Avalon village, on streets such as Barrenjoey Road, Avalon Parade, Old Barrenjoey Road and Bellevue Avenue. Salt spray is the dominant force on Avalon Beach 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 Avalon Beach homes on quarterly glass and six to twelve-monthly soft-wash cycles rather than waiting for the grime to become visible.

Northern Beaches Council. Northern Beaches Council stretches from Manly to Palm Beach and manages one of the longest coastlines of any Sydney LGA. Salt spray, sand and humidity mean glass, render and Colorbond need more frequent soft washing, and the council's coastal catchment policies require that no detergents or sediments enter stormwater drains that flow to the beaches and lagoons.
