Steep, shaded driveways in Seaforth, Beacon Hill and Forestville turn slippery, lagoon-side paving in Narrabeen never quite dries, and the plateau's long driveways in Ingleside and Terrey Hills collect clay and tannin.

The Northern Beaches packs surf beaches, four coastal lagoons, the Pittwater estuary, Middle Harbour and national park bushland into one council area, so pressure cleaning is never one method for everyone. The table shows how we adjust it by condition and how often it is usually needed.

Conditions Suburbs What we are dealing with How often
Ocean-front and first-ridge Manly, Queenscliff, Freshwater, Curl Curl, North Curl Curl and Collaroy and 6 more Near the surf the hard surfaces carry sand, salt crust and black algae in every expansion joint; hot water through a rotary cleaner removes them evenly, and a wand is only used on edges. every 12 months
Lagoon and estuary Dee Why, Narrabeen, North Narrabeen and Warriewood Lagoon-side concrete and pavers stay damp from below, so algae returns quickly and the slip risk is real; we hot-wash, treat with a biocide and talk about a penetrating sealer on the same quote. every 9 to 12 months
Pittwater waterfront and slopes Bayview, Church Point and Clareville Under the Pittwater canopy driveways and paths carry tannin stains, leaf mould and moss on the steep, shaded sections; tannin is pre-treated and the rest lifts with hot water at moderate pressure. every 12 months
Plateau and bushland edge Elanora Heights, Ingleside, Terrey Hills, Duffys Forest, Belrose and Davidson and 3 more On the plateau driveways are long, shaded and stained with red clay, tannin and moss; we measure the area, run a wide hot-water surface cleaner and finish the edges by hand. every 12 to 18 months
Harbourside Middle Harbour Fairlight, Balgowlah Heights, Clontarf, Seaforth and North Balgowlah Harbourside driveways are steep and often exposed aggregate under street trees, so tannin and moss are the target and the rotary cleaner keeps the finish even with no zebra stripes. every 12 to 18 months
Hillside and village Balgowlah, Cromer, Beacon Hill, Allambie Heights, Collaroy Plateau and Bilgola Plateau On the hillside streets the driveways and paths go dull and lichen-spotted rather than green; a hot-water clean brings the concrete back to its original colour in one pass. every 12 to 18 months

Our method in the Northern Beaches

How we do it, and what we protect while we work

Every surface starts with a test patch to set heat, pressure and detergent. Oil and tannin are pre-treated, then a 21 to 30 inch rotary cleaner running water at around 80 degrees works the whole area evenly, with a lance only for edges. Drains are covered and the water captured or filtered.

Plants and garden beds wetted and sheeted before chemicals
Drain covers and recovery mats on every job near stormwater
Test patch before full application on any new surface
Vehicles and furniture moved or covered

Highly recommend The Prestige Standard, they cleaned my sandstone, it looks perfect!

Google review · Sandstone Cleaning

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.
