Sandstone and exterior cleaning in Castlecrag, Griffin's bush suburb.
Sandstone and exterior cleaning for Castlecrag, where Griffin's bush houses sit deep enough in the green that lichen and leaf stain are a constant.

Sandstone cleaning in Castlecrag is a heritage job. Walter Burley Griffin folded these stone houses into the bush on purpose, on streets named for battlements, and the same landscape that makes the suburb is what feeds the grime. Lichen crusts on the stone, and leaf stain runs down the rendered walls for most of the year.
The bush setting keeps most surfaces short of sunlight. South walls hold mould through winter, roof tiles grow lichen you can spot from the street, and shaded stone slowly goes dark and blotchy. Griffin designed these houses to sit quietly in the trees, which works a lot better when the stone is clean.
We soft wash heritage stone with low pressure, the right mix and a fair amount of patience. Blasting old sandstone opens the face of the stone and the stain comes back worse, so a pressure gun never goes near a Griffin wall. Every job gets worked against a checklist and photographed, so you can see the before and the after for yourself. Book the founding round while there are still spots on The Parapet and Edinburgh Rd.

What Sydney homeowners say about Schmick
“Couldn’t fault them”
Had the windows and the driveway done. Turned up right on 8, finished before lunch, and the driveway honestly looks brand new. Same guy came back for the gutters last month and remembered our dog’s name. Couldn’t fault them.
Priya K.Homeowner, Mosman
“Should’ve done it years ago”
They sent me photos of what came out of our gutters. Revolting. Glad it’s gone. Lovely guys too.
Daniel O.Homeowner, Bronte
“Came out after the storm”
We’re on their monthly plan. After that big blow in June they were out two days later and sorted everything without us having to chase. Worth it for that alone.
Marcus L.Homeowner, Vaucluse
“Honest, which is rare”
Our sandstone wall had gone black and I’d assumed it was ruined. It’s come up beautifully. There was one damp patch he said needed a stone specialist rather than pretending he could fix it, which I appreciated. On time, tidy, very fair on price.
Helen W.Homeowner, Darling Point
“Neighbours all asked who did it”
Windows are unreal. Two of the neighbours came over to ask who did them before the van had even left the street. Booking was easy and they text you when they’re on the way.
Tom & RenaeHomeowners, Cremorne
“10/10”
Got the whole outside done before we hosted Christmas. Mum asked if we’d had the place repainted. Showed up when they said, price was exactly what they quoted.
Sophie M.Homeowner, Double Bay
Castlecrag exterior cleaning, answered.
Do you service Castlecrag?
Yes. We work right through Griffin's bush suburb, from The Parapet and The Bulwark to the houses off Edinburgh Rd. The heritage stock is exactly what we're built for.
What does exterior cleaning cost in Castlecrag?
Build your quote right here on the page. The number lands in about a minute. Heritage stone, bush-shaded walls and lichened roofs all price differently. If the place is more work than it looks from the kerb, we say so before we start.
The stone and render have gone green. Can that come off?
It can. Lichen and leaf stain love Castlecrag's heritage stone, and a proper soft wash lifts both without opening the surface. Blasting looks quicker but the stain comes back worse, so we stick with the slower method.
Can you do the whole outside in one go?
That's the Plan. One crew handles the stone, the render, the roof, gutters, windows, driveway and paths in a booked visit, so the whole house comes back at once instead of in pieces.
