Concrete Sealing on the Northern Beaches

Q: Do you offer concrete sealing across the whole Northern Beaches?

Yes, in all 39 suburbs from Manly, Fairlight and Clontarf to Palm Beach, and west to Terrey Hills and Duffys Forest. Jobs are grouped into weekly runs by area so we are near you most weeks.

Q: How much does concrete sealing cost on the Northern Beaches?

Every price is on request and fixed in writing. We measure from aerial imagery, test where needed and send one figure within a business day. Call 0494 810 609 or use the form.

Q: Which sealer is best for a steep Northern Beaches driveway?

A penetrating sealer, because it keeps the surface texture and grip. Glossy film sealers can be slippery on a slope when wet.

Q: How often is concrete sealing needed on the Northern Beaches?

It depends on whether you are on the ocean front, beside a lagoon, on the Pittwater side, harbourside, on a hillside street or on the bushland plateau. The table on this page gives our usual intervals for each.

Q: Will the run-off from concrete sealing reach the lagoons or beaches?

No. Drains are bunded, rinse water is captured or sent to garden, and sealed or commercial sites are vacuum-recovered. Almost every Northern Beaches street drains to a lagoon, Pittwater, Middle Harbour or a beach.

Q: Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. If anything we quoted is not clean at handover, we return within seven days and redo it free. We carry $20 million public liability.

Penetrating and film sealers applied to clean, dry concrete so oil, water and salt stay out for years. Every suburb from Manly to Palm Beach and out to Duffys Forest.

On the Northern Beaches

Where concrete sealing matters most on the peninsula

Where we do it most: Narrabeen, Seaforth and Beacon Hill
Council: Northern Beaches Council
Coverage: All 39 Northern Beaches suburbs
Run-off: Captured on every job
Pricing: On request, fixed in writing

Sealing earns its keep on the ocean front where salt attacks concrete, on lagoon-side slabs in Narrabeen that stay damp, and on steep, mossy driveways in Seaforth and Beacon Hill where grip matters.

The Northern Beaches packs surf beaches, four coastal lagoons, the Pittwater estuary, Middle Harbour and national park bushland into one council area, so concrete sealing 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	Salt film on glass within a fortnight, rust-run from every fixing, and black cyanobacteria on the shaded south and east walls; sealing keeps it out of the surface	re-seal every 3 to 4 years
Lagoon and estuary	Dee Why, Narrabeen, North Narrabeen and Warriewood	Green algae and black mould on the shaded elevations, lichen on stone and pavers, and moss in any joint that stays damp; sealing keeps it out of the surface	re-seal every 3 to 5 years
Pittwater waterfront and slopes	Bayview, Church Point and Clareville	Tannin and leaf-litter staining, lichen and moss on sandstone, green film on timber and pool surrounds, and mould under deep eaves; sealing keeps it out of the surface	re-seal every 3 to 5 years
Plateau and bushland edge	Elanora Heights, Ingleside, Terrey Hills, Duffys Forest, Belrose and Davidson and 3 more	Gutters full of eucalypt leaf and bark, moss and lichen on shaded roofs, paving and tennis courts, and red clay staining on concrete after storms; sealing keeps it out of the surface	re-seal every 5 to 7 years
Harbourside Middle Harbour	Fairlight, Balgowlah Heights, Clontarf, Seaforth and North Balgowlah	Mould and algae on render and painted brick, lichen on sandstone retaining walls, and tannin staining from the tree canopy over paths and driveways; sealing keeps it out of the surface	re-seal every 4 to 6 years
Hillside and village	Balgowlah, Cromer, Beacon Hill, Allambie Heights, Collaroy Plateau and Bilgola Plateau	Salt haze on glass that faces the ocean, mould on the shaded render, and dull, lichen-spotted concrete driveways and paths; sealing keeps it out of the surface	re-seal every 4 to 6 years

Our method in the Northern Beaches

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

The slab is cleaned and dried for two days, moisture-tested, and sealed with a penetrating silane or siloxane for a natural look or a film sealer for colour and sheen. Edges are cut in by brush and the sealer is rolled or sprayed evenly.

Moisture test prevents cloudy sealer failure

Slip additive on pool and wet areas

Masking of adjoining stone and garden

Weather window checked 48 hours ahead

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.
