Eastern Suburbs

Natural stone cleaning in the Eastern Suburbs

Eastern Suburbs terraces and entries often use marble, granite and quartzite, finished honed or polished. We clean with pH-neutral products so nothing etches, and take care with the old bluestone and crazy paving on terrace houses.

Every natural stone behaves differently. Bluestone is dense but marks with rust and oil. Slate flakes if it's blasted. Granite takes pressure well, while marble and other calcium-based stones etch with the wrong cleaner. Treating them all the same is how stone gets damaged.

We identify the stone, test the cleaner on a hidden spot and set the pressure for that surface. Sandstone, travertine and limestone have their own pages, because they're the stones we see most and each one needs its own approach.

Local detail

Stone cleaning across the Eastern Suburbs

What we see in suburbs in the Eastern Suburbs:

  • Darling Point: Darling Point Road runs down the spine of the point, past historic mansions, sandstone walls and apartment towers, to McKell Park at the tip.
  • Woollahra: Terraces have iron lace, sandstone sills and tiled front paths.
  • Rose Bay: Houses range from Inter-war homes with rendered walls and tiled roofs to large modern homes with stone terraces and pools.
  • Vaucluse: Homes here use a lot of honed limestone, travertine and marble outside, along with frameless glass, bronze or powder-coated joinery and sandstone garden walls.
  • Tamarama: We clean glass, render and stone terraces exposed to the ocean.
  • Bellevue Hill: The architecture is a mix of 1920s and 30s mansions, Spanish Mission homes with rendered walls and terracotta roofs, and newer homes with pale render, stone and glass.

How often

For stone cleaning, plan on near the water, every 12 months; on sheltered sites, every 18 months to 2 years.

What affects the quote

  • Waterfront: wash water near the shoreline may need to be contained and collected.
  • Heritage materials: test patches and lower pressure take longer than a modern build.
  • Steep access: carrying gear down stairs and running long hoses adds time.

Nathan just completed a pressure wash of our travertine pavers under our alfresco area, around the pool and the sundeck. What an absolutely fantastic job. Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy. We will certainly be calling him back on a regular basis and can highly recommend him.

Do you offer stone cleaning everywhere in the Eastern Suburbs?

Yes. We cover all 12 suburbs listed above from our base in Elanora Heights.

What's the best way to clean bluestone?

A neutral cleaner and a surface cleaner at moderate pressure. Rust and oil marks get a targeted treatment.

Can slate be pressure cleaned?

Gently. High pressure can lift layers of slate, so we keep it low and use brushes on textured faces.

Will cleaning damage marble outdoors?

Not with pH-neutral products. Acidic cleaners etch marble, so we never use them on it.

Do you clean crazy paving?

Yes, at low pressure to protect the old mortar joints.

Should natural stone be sealed?

Often, yes. A breathable penetrating sealer slows staining and mould. We'll recommend one for your stone.
