North Shore

Outdoor tile and grout cleaning on the North Shore

Many North Shore verandahs and entries still have original encaustic or quarry tiles. They need a gentler hand than modern porcelain, so we test first, avoid harsh acids and work the grout lines without loosening old tiles.

Outdoor tiles hold up well. The grout between them doesn't. It's porous, it sits lower than the tile, and it collects dirt, mould and black spots that don't come out with a mop or a hose.

We clean tiles and grout together with a rotary surface cleaner and a grout-safe pressure, then detail the joints by hand where needed. Loose or crumbling grout is pointed out before we start, because no cleaner can put it back.

Local detail

Tile and grout cleaning across the North Shore

What we see in suburbs on the North Shore:

  • St Ives: Concrete tile and terracotta roofs are common, and so is the moss on their shaded side.
  • Killara: We treat the moss, it dies off over about 12 months, and you get photos of any slipped tiles or cracked ridge capping we see.

How often

For tile and grout cleaning, plan on near the water, every 12 months; under trees, every 12 months.

What affects the quote

  • Waterfront: wash water near the shoreline may need to be contained and collected.
  • Pools: run-off has to be kept out of the water, and coping is often a different stone from the terrace.
  • Tree canopy: leaf litter and tannin stains often need a separate treatment.

Nathan just completed a pressure wash of our travertine pavers under our alfresco area, around the pool and the sundeck. What an absolutely fantastic job. Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy. We will certainly be calling him back on a regular basis and can highly recommend him.

Do you offer tile and grout cleaning everywhere on the North Shore?

Yes. We cover all 17 suburbs listed above from our base in Elanora Heights.

Will pressure cleaning remove my grout?

Not at the right pressure. Grout that's already loose may come away, and we'll show it to you first.

Can you get black spots out of grout?

Most mould spots lift with a pre-treatment. Deep staining can fade rather than vanish.

Do you clean indoor tiles?

We focus on outdoor tiled areas, including covered terraces and balconies.

Should grout be sealed after cleaning?

On high-use areas, a grout sealer slows staining. We can apply one once the grout is dry.

How long does it take to dry?

Usually a few hours in sun, longer on shaded balconies.
