Limestone Cleaning in Perth

I’ve been cleaning and sealing limestone around Perth since 2001: driveways, pavers and walls, plus travertine and sandstone.

Why Limestone Stains

Like concrete, limestone is very porous. It soaks up water, dirt, oil and grease, and that often leads to algae growing in it. That’s what causes the staining.

How I Clean Limestone

I clean limestone driveways, pavers and walls to get the staining out and bring the stone back as close to its original condition as I can. Hot water and elbow grease first, chemicals only when the job needs them.

04 Sealing

Then Seal It

Once it’s clean, I’ll recommend sealing it. Limestone sealing keeps it cleaner for longer and makes it easier to maintain.

About half my jobs end up cleaned and sealed.

12-month warranty on sealed work, against the sealer failing early

Travertine and Sandstone Too

I clean and seal travertine and sandstone as well. I seal all paving surfaces.

I get plenty of calls from people asking how to do it themselves. Fair enough. But if you’d rather it was just done, give me a call.

Before I Turn Up

Clear the pot plants, furniture and anything else sitting on the area. You don’t need to be home, I just need access, plus power if I’m sealing.

If the weather’s against us, I’ll reschedule at no extra charge.
