Our Sandstone Cleaning and Sealing Process
We use tried and tested techniques and high-performance cleaning and sealing systems to revitalise and protect your sandstone. It all starts with our 4 step process below.
“Their service is excellent and the quality of their workmanship second to none. They really take great pride in what they do and importantly, they are easy to deal with.”
1. Inspection
The initial step involves assessing the current condition of your sandstone to identify any areas of concern, such as pre-existing damage and the use of previous cleaning and sealing treatments.
2. Cleaning
After the initial inspection, we proceed with a tailored mechanical and chemical cleaning process designed to eliminate any dirt, stains, efflorescence, mould or other contaminants that have built up on the sandstone surface over time.
3. Honing
If the sandstone looks dull or scratched, a gentle honing process may be required to restore its natural appearance. This method involves using a specialised machine fitted with abrasive pads and brushes to lightly remove the top layer, revealing a fresh, smooth surface beneath.
4. Sealing
Finally, a high-quality breathable sealer is applied to the sandstone to protect it from future damage. This protective barrier not only reduces the need for frequent maintenance but also shields the sandstone from the elements, significantly extending its lifespan.
SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR WORK
PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE SANDSTONE CARE
The team at Prestige Surfaces believe in promoting a positive change in mindset towards the proper maintenance of your existing sandstone surfaces so that they can last longer and avoid being discarded into landfill sites. Our team has witnessed the transformative impact of regular cleaning and sealing on old, worn-out stone surfaces, which can be restored to a nearly-new condition and continue to serve their intended purpose for many years.
By adopting an approach of conscientious maintenance, we can all play a role in reducing the waste and environmental damage caused by the unnecessary replacement of exquisite paved surfaces.
FAQs
Can you seal Sandstone?
Yes, you absolutely can! For the best results, our expert team can do the job professionally, or if you’d like to DIY, we offer our own range of custom developed, and laboratory tested products.
Does Sandstone need to be sealed?
We strongly advise sealing Sandstone. Due to its porous nature, the stone can easily absorb liquids which can result in stubborn staining and discoloration. Proper sealing helps protect it from the elements and extend its lifespan.
Should you seal Sandstone paving or tiles?
Sandstone pavers or tiles are recommended to be sealed because they are more susceptible to wear and tear from weathering and foot traffic - sealing helps make the stone more resistant to damage and therefore enhancing its durability in these settings.
How often should sandstone be cleaned and sealed?
