What makes limestone cleaning different in Narrabeen is black mould and algae on anything in shade near the lagoon, salt and sand on the Ocean Street fronts, and slimy, slippery paving where the water table keeps the ground damp. Lagoon-side limestone and travertine stay damp and grow algae in the pores and holes; an acid-free clean, a biocide and a low-pressure rinse bring it back without etching.

Ocean Street beachfront homes and blocks, 1950s and 1960s cottages on the sand flat, and low-rise strata around Pittwater Road, with lagoon-front homes on Lagoon Street and Narrabeen Park Parade. We work around Narrabeen Lagoon and the lagoon trail, Narrabeen Beach and the rock pool and Narrabeen Lakes Caravan Park, on streets such as Ocean Street, Lagoon Street, Malcolm Street and Pittwater Road.

Field note from Narrabeen. Narrabeen's lagoon-side paving never fully dries; we hot-wash it, then recommend a penetrating sealer rather than a film sealer because the moisture coming up from below would lift a film within a season. Nathan G, Founder

Run-off in Narrabeen. This part of the peninsula drains to Narrabeen Lagoon, the largest coastal lagoon in Sydney. On every Narrabeen limestone cleaning job the kerb inlets are bunded and rinse water is captured or sent to garden, as Northern Beaches Council requires.

In Narrabeen we usually recommend limestone cleaning every 12 months, and the cycle is written on the quote.

Protecting the garden and drains during limestone cleaning in Narrabeen
Our method in Narrabeen

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

Limestone dissolves in acid, so nothing acidic goes near it. We apply an alkaline cleaner to lift grime, a biocide for growth, and poultices left for up to 24 hours on organic and rust marks, then rinse with a wide fan below 800 psi. A penetrating sealer can follow once the stone is dry.

No acid under any circumstances
Low pressure only
Mortar and grout protected
Pool water shielded

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.
