Yes. Balgowlah 2093 is on our Manly and harbourside run and we are in Balgowlah Heights and Fairlight most weeks. We quote within one business day and book most Balgowlah jobs within 7 to 10 days.
Pricing is on request. Balgowlah properties range from inter-war and post-war brick bungalows on the woodbine and maretimo street slopes to much larger sites, so we measure from aerial imagery, test where needed and send one fixed written price.
On the hillside blocks the sandstone is mostly retaining walls, steps and garden edging that go black with lichen; low-pressure biocide cleaning restores the warm colour. The method is set for Balgowlah conditions.
Not into the street. Balgowlah drains to Manly Lagoon via Burnt Bridge Creek. We bund the kerb inlet, capture or redirect rinse water to garden, and vacuum-recover on sealed or commercial sites.
In hillside and village conditions like Balgowlah, usually every 18 to 24 months. Shade, irrigation and aspect change that, so the quote puts a cycle in writing.
Not into the street gutter. Everything on this side of the ridge drains through Burnt Bridge Creek into Manly Lagoon, so we bund the kerb inlet, direct rinse water to lawn and garden, and vacuum-recover on sealed strata sites.
It will bring back the warm colour and banding by removing lichen and algae, but it will not erase old wand damage or weathering. We show you the result on a test patch before the full job.
Yes, written on every quote: if anything we quoted is not clean at handover we return within seven days and redo it free. We carry $20 million public liability and every Balgowlah job has a named lead technician.
