Stone Sealing in Newport

In Newport the stone sealing work is mostly on sandstone. Beachside homes, Pittwater waterfront houses with jetties and bush-block rebuilds on the headland. The defining problem here is ocean and Pittwater exposure on different elevations of the same home, which decides the chemistry, the pressure and how often the surface needs attention.

We work around Newport Beach, Bungan Head, the Newport Arms and Pittwater's eastern shore, on streets such as Barrenjoey Road, Queens Parade, Bungan Head Road and Prince Alfred Parade. Salt spray is the dominant force on Newport 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 Newport 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.
