my price is more or less that. what you always need to inform the client is that at the end of the day a surface will alway's look dirty if indeed it is dirty!!! i.e. just because you've cleaned and resealed it doesn't mean it won't get dirty, it's like saying, just because i use the most expensive soap known to mankind that it will continue to keep me clean even when i'm neck deep in mud!!!! however, just like a protective moisturiser your missus uses it protects her delicate features from long term damage in a way that's how sealant is meant to work. Just like anything they need to keep on top of cleaning with something like a fungicidal wash a couple of times a year and not let dirt / mud and other detritus build up on top of the sealed surface which in turn will harbour moss, algae and weed growth!!
if for example a surface has dips and troughs then this will encourage pooling when it rains and in turn leave sandy dirty deposits which in not a very too short period of time will encourage algae and moss growth, from then on you get weeds etc etc.. you just need to sweep and wash every now and again!!!! That's what i say anyway!!
Sounds like smart seal spiel the training obviously paid off
If it is PIC no choice has to be sealed to protect stain /conc - problem is there are lots of different seals on the market.. some of the new water based products react with solvent to suggest they are solvent based (when you carry out test areas using xylene). If you are unfortunate enough to apply solvent based onto water base over time seal delams or looks like it has mositure in it
Its then down to you to sort problem which becomes expensive.
This year has been sh*te for sealing due to the weather! At times it has been hard enough just to re sand.
With block paving we have had a job which was bone dry (last year) left it over a wk between wash seal - sealed using Pics seal (same as smart) customer rang 2 wks later as it had turned white. We went back re cut it locally looked fine 2 weeks later same thing happened. Technical guy from Pics viewed job (I know him well) no explanation could not find problem - That job alone cost us over £500.
What I am trying to point out is sealing can be profitable but due to weather / problems it can bite you in the arse - Is it really worth it in the long run
Thats for individuals to decide personally we no longer offer this service.
