Yes. Newport 2106 is on our Pittwater peninsula run and we are in Bilgola Beach and Bilgola Plateau most weeks. We quote within one business day and book most Newport jobs within 7 to 10 days.
Pricing is on request. Newport properties range from two newports: the ocean side with headland homes on bungan head road and the surf-club flat to much larger sites, so we measure from aerial imagery, test where needed and send one fixed written price.
On the ocean front a breathable penetrating sealer keeps salt water out of the stone's pores, which is what stops the surface powdering; expect a re-seal every three to four years here. The method is set for Newport conditions.
Not into the street. Newport drains to Newport Beach and Pittwater. 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 Newport, usually a re-seal every 3 to 4 years. Shade, irrigation and aspect change that, so the quote puts a cycle in writing.
Yes, between tides, with a biocide soft wash and brushing. We time the dwell around the tide so nothing is washed into Pittwater and the stone is not etched.
Not with the penetrating sealers we use; they sit inside the stone and leave the surface looking natural. A colour-enhancing version is available if you want a slightly richer tone.
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 Newport job has a named lead technician.
