Yes. Freshwater 2096 is on our Freshwater to Dee Why run and we are in Curl Curl and Queenscliff most weeks. We quote within one business day and book most Freshwater jobs within 7 to 10 days.
Pricing is on request. Freshwater properties range from federation and inter-war bungalows on the village grid to much larger sites, so we measure from aerial imagery, test where needed and send one fixed written price.
Near the surf sandstone holds salt in its pores, which crystallises and powders the surface; we clean with biocide and low pressure, rinse thoroughly to flush the salt, and never use acid. The method is set for Freshwater conditions.
Not into the street. Freshwater drains to Freshwater Beach and the rock pool. We bund the kerb inlet, capture or redirect rinse water to garden, and vacuum-recover on sealed or commercial sites.
In ocean-front and first-ridge conditions like Freshwater, usually every 12 to 18 months. Shade, irrigation and aspect change that, so the quote puts a cycle in writing.
A soft wash is the right method and the strength is in the chemistry, not the pressure. Biocide at 2 to 4 percent, a dwell, and a rinse under 500 psi removes the black growth without opening the render.
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 Freshwater job has a named lead technician.
