What makes pressure cleaning different in Balgowlah Heights is tannin and leaf staining on the long driveways from the street trees, green film on pool surrounds under the gum canopy, and mould on the shaded southern render. 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.

Large 1950s to 1970s family homes on generous blocks, many rebuilt since 2010 as two-storey render-and-stone houses with pools, swimming pool decks and long exposed-aggregate driveways. We work around Tania Park and Dobroyd Head, Forty Baskets Beach and Reef Beach track, on streets such as Beatrice Street, Lewis Street, Ernest Street and Radio Avenue.

Field note from Balgowlah Heights. The exposed-aggregate driveways on Lewis and Ernest Streets hold leaf tannin in the matrix between the stones; we hot-wash them with a rotary cleaner rather than a wand so the finish stays even and no zebra stripes are left. Nathan G, Founder

Our method in Balgowlah Heights

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

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.
