The Prestige Standard was founded in 2015 by Nathan G after six years in heritage sandstone restoration. The Northern Beaches division brings the same people, equipment, insurance and written guarantee to the peninsula, and works nowhere else.

The Northern Beaches is unusually hard on buildings. Ocean-front homes from Queenscliff to Whale Beach take salt every afternoon; homes around Manly, Curl Curl, Dee Why and Narrabeen lagoons sit in damp, still air; the Pittwater slopes live under spotted gum canopy on soft sandstone; and the plateau suburbs back onto national park. One method cannot suit all of that, so we plan every job around the conditions in your suburb.

From Nathan. The same rendered house needs its walls washed twice as often in Queenscliff as in Belrose, and its gutters twice as often in Belrose as in Queenscliff. Getting that right is most of what good exterior maintenance on the beaches comes down to.

Every Northern Beaches street drains somewhere sensitive, so drains are bunded and run-off is captured on every job. See how we handle it in our stormwater guide.

Six conditions, six methods

We are extremely happy about Nathan's work. Our house is totally transformed after he pressure jet the place. The sandstone stairs and surround have restored to its former glory. Driveways are like new.

Highly recommend The Prestige Standard, they cleaned my sandstone, it looks perfect!

Caspar Howard
Google review · Sandstone Cleaning

I recently had my brick pavers cleaned by Prestige Standard and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail. My pavers went from looking dull and stained to fresh and almost brand new again.
