Yes. Queenscliff 2096 is on our Freshwater to Dee Why run and we are in Manly and Freshwater most weeks. We quote within one business day and book most Queenscliff jobs within 7 to 10 days.
Pricing is on request. Queenscliff properties range from a dense headland of 1930s flats and 1960s to 1990s apartment blocks on crown road and queenscliff road with direct surf exposure 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 Queenscliff conditions.
Not into the street. Queenscliff drains to Manly Lagoon and Queenscliff Beach. 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 Queenscliff, usually a re-seal every 3 to 4 years. Shade, irrigation and aspect change that, so the quote puts a cycle in writing.
Every six to eight weeks for the sea-facing elevations and quarterly for the rest. Salt is hygroscopic; left on the glass it etches, and the frames corrode faster.
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 Queenscliff job has a named lead technician.
