Travertine Sealing in Northern Beaches

Q: Do you offer travertine sealing in Northern Beaches?

Yes. Northern Beaches is one of our core service regions and we are in Manly, Fairlight and Balgowlah Heights most weeks. Quotes are issued within one business day and most jobs are scheduled within 7 to 10 days.

Q: What does travertine sealing cost in Northern Beaches?

Pricing is on request. Northern Beaches properties vary a great deal in size, access and condition, so we measure the surfaces, confirm the method and send one fixed written price within a business day. Call 0494 810 609 to arrange it.

Q: Which councils cover Northern Beaches and does it change how you work?

Northern Beaches Council. All prohibit wash water entering the stormwater system, and several have heritage conservation controls. We cover drains, capture run-off and use low-pressure methods on heritage surfaces as standard.

Q: Why does my travertine keep going green?

Algae lives in the pits and under a thin biofilm that pressure washing does not kill. A biocide clean removes it at the root and a penetrating sealer keeps water out of the pits so it struggles to return.

Q: Should the holes be filled?

Filled travertine is easier to keep clean and better for bare feet; unfilled looks more natural. Both can be sealed. We fill on request with a colour-matched grout and it cures before sealing.

Q: Will the sealer survive pool chemistry?

A quality penetrating sealer rated for pool surrounds does, for three to five years. Topical gloss sealers do not and we do not use them beside pools.

Travertine is the default pool-surround stone from Vaucluse to Palm Beach and it has one flaw: the holes. Algae, sunscreen and pool chemicals collect in the pits and the stone turns green and slick. Pressure washing opens the holes further. We clean travertine at low pressure with a biocide, fill or leave the holes as the client prefers, and seal with a breathable impregnator that keeps water and chemistry out of the pits.

Northern Beaches

Travertine Sealing across Northern Beaches

From Manly to Palm Beach, Northern Beaches homes face constant salt spray and humidity. Glass, render and Colorbond weather fast, and our coastal maintenance programs are built around that reality. For travertine sealing specifically, the surfaces we meet most in Northern Beaches are Colorbond, concrete, decks, driveways, glass, pool decks. Travertine is cleaned with a hypochlorite biocide at low pressure and a soft brush, so the growth in the pits dies without the stone being eroded.

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.

Suburbs we service for travertine sealing in Northern Beaches: Manly, Fairlight, Balgowlah Heights, Clontarf, Seaforth, Freshwater, Curl Curl, Collaroy, Narrabeen, Mona Vale, Newport, Bilgola Plateau, Avalon Beach, Clareville, Whale Beach, Palm Beach.

Our method

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

Travertine is cleaned with a hypochlorite biocide at low pressure and a soft brush, so the growth in the pits dies without the stone being eroded. Stains are poulticed. If the client wants the holes filled, we grout them with a colour-matched filler and let it cure. After 48 dry hours and a moisture test, a penetrating sealer is applied in two wet-on-wet coats and residue removed before it hazes. We avoid gloss topical sealers on pool surrounds because they peel in chlorinated water and become slippery.

Glass fencing and render masked

Sealing deferred in rain or extreme heat

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.
