What we typically get asked
when sealing limestone
Why is sealing important for limestone?
Limestone is a soft, absorbent natural stone, which means it’s especially vulnerable to:
- Water absorption and mould growth
- Staining from oils, tannins, and rust
- UV damage and fading
- Surface erosion and pitting
Sealing helps guard against all of these issues, extending the life of the stone and keeping it looking clean and consistent.
How long does the seal last for?
For solvent based acrylic sealers, typically 5-7 years.
For a breathable penetrating sealer, typically 3-5 years.
Get in touch with us and we will advise you what sealers are appropriate for your surfaces and for an obligation free quote.
What finish will the sealer leave on my limestone?
It depends on the surface type and the sealer we’re able to use – but typically the appearance is not impacted.
Get in touch and we will advise what options are available for your exact surface type and whether or not the appearance could be impacted, and by how much.
Does sealing limestone make it slippery?
Not when done correctly. We use sealers with non-slip properties or can add a grip-enhancing agent for areas around pools, paths, or steps. This helps maintain safety while still protecting the surface.
Do you need to clean limestone before sealing it?
Sealing should always be done on a clean, dry surface. If dirt, mould, or previous stains are sealed in, they will be trapped underneath and may still be visible. That’s why we offer a full clean-and-seal service, ensuring the limestone is properly prepared beforehand.
What maintenance is required after sealing limestone?
To keep your sealed limestone looking its best:
- Sweep or hose down regularly to prevent grime build-up
- Avoid harsh or acidic cleaners — use pH-neutral products only
- Reseal every few years as recommended
Promptly clean up spills from oil, wine, leaves or rust to prevent long-term staining, even on sealed surfaces.

Pete did an amazing job. Pavers around our house had permanent stains which were cleaned thoroughly by Pete. The pavers now look as good as new although they were installed 8 years ago.
Excellent customer service at a very reasonable pricing.

We are so happy with our backyard pavers. We contacted Transformation Cleaning and Sealing Perth and dealt with Pete, who was very helpful. He came around for a quote the very next day and we agreed there and then for him to do the work. Pete was very professional, and we are very happy with the job.
We highly recommend.
