Tailored Solutions

Outdoor surfaces receive special attention regarding UV exposure and weather patterns. This detailed analysis ensures our cleaning and sealing protocols perfectly match your needs.

Kacper is very precise and professional. I highly recommend him for works he provides.
Can't recommend them enough. They can do anything with stone. Very smart crew that solved our caesarstone layout adjustments when no one else could.
Benchtop Cleaning & Protecting FAQs
The frequency of cleaning and sealing depends on the type of stone and its usage. For heavily used surfaces like kitchen counters, we recommend professional cleaning at least twice a year and sealing annually. For less used areas, less frequent sealing may suffice. We assess each situation individually to provide a tailored recommendation based on your specific needs and the stone’s characteristics.
While some household cleaning products are safe for stone benchtops, many contain acids, alkalis, and other chemicals that can damage the stone’s surface. We advise against using any cleaners that are not specifically labelled safe for natural stone.
During our service consultations, we offer advice on the best products to use and provide professional-grade cleaners that maintain the integrity of your stone.
Our professional cleaning process usually involves thorough surface cleaning to remove any dirt, grime, and bacteria, followed by the application of a high-quality sealer. The sealer acts as a barrier to protect against stains etches, and other wear and tear.
Our team uses specialised tools and cleaning solutions tailored to each type of stone to ensure optimal results without causing damage.
In the event of a spill, it’s crucial to blot the spill immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent the liquid from penetrating the stone. Avoid wiping the spill, as this can spread the liquid over a broader area.
For oil-based spills, a poultice may be needed to draw out the oil from the stone. We provide specific guidance and emergency advice to our clients on handling different types of spills.
Scheduling a consultation is straightforward. You can contact us directly through our forms, call our phone number, or email us with your inquiry. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your routine and provide a free initial consultation to discuss your needs in detail.
For all sealing services, we offer a standard 1-year warranty as mandated by New South Wales regulations, with the opportunity to extend to a 2-year warranty in many cases. This warranty covers the efficacy of the sealant and ensures that it performs as expected to protect your stone surfaces.
Environmental factors such as sunlight, heat, and humidity can impact the longevity and appearance of your stone benchtops. For example, prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause certain types of stone to fade or discolour. During our initial assessment, we discuss these factors and suggest appropriate protective measures to mitigate environmental effects.
You generally do not need to leave your home during the cleaning and sealing process. Our team uses non-toxic, low-odour products that are safe for indoor use around pets and family members. We ensure minimal disruption to your daily activities by efficiently managing the process so you can return to your routine promptly.
