The sandstone in some of Sydney’s early buildings is very “soft” and not really suitable for the purpose for which it has been used. It is extremely important that these surfaces are handled with care. ECO Restoration has been called on many times to clean this precious stone around Sydney, remove graffiti and carry out repairs and re-pointing.

We use different methods to clean the many types of sandstone. Some architects want only the surface pollution removed, leaving the original “patina” on the surface. This was the case at the old GPO building in Martin Place – now the Westin, and also on the two David Jones’s city buildings. Whatever your requirement, ECO Restoration has a method to suit.
