Northern Beaches
Brick sealing on the Northern Beaches
Brick on the Northern Beaches is mostly 1960s and 70s face brick, brick fences and paving, much of it facing salty wind. A breathable water repellent cuts down damp and salt bloom on exposed walls without changing the look.
Brick and mortar soak up rain. On exposed walls that means damp patches, white efflorescence and mould on the shady side. On brick paving it means oil, leaf stains and moss. A good sealer cuts down how much water gets in while still letting the brick breathe.
We clean the brickwork first, treat efflorescence and mould, and let it dry. Then we apply a penetrating water-repellent sealer that doesn't change the look of the brick or leave a shine. On paving we can use a sealer that brings up the colour if you'd like it.
Local detail
Brick sealing across the Northern Beaches
What we see in suburbs on the Northern Beaches:
- Frenchs Forest: Streets off Warringah Road and Forest Way are lined with brick and render homes, many with pools and second storeys, under a canopy of eucalypts.
- Narraweena: It's a residential suburb of brick and weatherboard homes, many renovated, on streets that rise steeply from Dee Why towards Beacon Hill.
- Belrose: The suburb has a mix of brick homes from the 1970s and 80s and newer builds, many with pools and big gardens.
- Beacon Hill: The streets around Willandra Road and the lookout hold brick homes and newer builds on solid blocks, with bush reserves on the edges of the suburb.
- Forestville: Homes are mainly brick and weatherboard on standard blocks, with plenty of renovations and pools.
- Manly Vale: Much of the housing is post-war brick, with plenty of renovations and second storeys.
How often
For brick sealing, plan on near the water, every 3 to 5 years; under trees, every 4 to 6 years.
What affects the quote
- Steep access: carrying gear down stairs and running long hoses adds time.
- Pools: run-off has to be kept out of the water, and coping is often a different stone from the terrace.
- Waterfront: wash water near the shoreline may need to be contained and collected.

Still have a question?
Talk to Nathan directly. He quotes and attends every job himself.
Do you offer brick sealing everywhere on the Northern Beaches?
Yes. We cover all 42 suburbs listed above from our base in Elanora Heights.
Should I seal my brick house?
It helps on exposed walls that get wind-driven rain or damp patches. We'll tell you if your walls would benefit.
Will sealing change how my brick looks?
A penetrating sealer on walls leaves no shine and little or no colour change. Paving can be sealed for a deeper colour if you want it.
Can sealing stop efflorescence?
It reduces it by limiting the water moving through the brick. If water is coming from below or behind, that needs fixing too.
Can you seal brick paving?
Yes, after a clean. It helps keep oil, leaves and moss on the surface.
Do you seal old brick?
Yes, with a gentle clean and a breathable sealer suited to old masonry.
