You had 93000 visitors (approx) and had sales of £232.00.

There is no way that you are getting so many hits. Those figures are being manipulated by someone along the way or you should be a bloody millionaire!!

Strange how your site is configured to hidden on the stats Chris. Presumably set by smart seal.

Sales are from people buying sealer direct from my "online shop". I don't offer this anymore due to lack of interest..as the figures show.
Does Check-a-trade sell advertising on "hits/enquiry " figures....i asume it has been quoting you this type of thing. I am not telling you your job but be carefull when dealing with "salesmen".
The Smartseal website is good value for money...£290 thats it and £90 a year hosting after that. It's a cheap advert!
I just have to put up with you lot taking the p out of me for being a smartseal,resiblock,advanced sealingsolutions,pics "approved contractor.

I dont understand the question?

[chris scott]

I dont assume for one minute my site gets anything like that amount of traffic.
ItI does not really matter how many hits it gets on  graph, it's how often the phone rings from people finding the website that i measure in terms of success.

But we'll never know who the winner is now  
Kevin, Indian sandstone - will you post a link to a suitable sealer for outside. I know I won't seal anymore but its for the outlaws. Please.

My choice would be a penetrating enhancing sealer.  This brings out the beauty of all the fossils and features on an Indian Sandstone and as long as they understand that when they clean it it has to be done with a soft to medium brush on a Rotary and some pH Neutral Cleaner to preserve the integrity of the sealer they will be fine!  Roger mentions Lithofin MN Stainstop however my choice would be Aqua Mix Enrich N Seal and it's not because I sell it either.  It is because that is what we use on our work when we are doing it.  PS  I will be selling Lithofin as well soon for the Diehards who still love the stuff!

Alternatively if they don't want the stone enhancing then Aqua Mix Sealers Choice Gold

Lithofin Stain Stop, or Stain Stop Plus both impregnators excellent on Sandstone.

Have you ever tried Aqua Mix?

Have you used any  fluoropolymer products  ?

Very seldom at the end of the day We are Natural Stone Renovation Specialists and ultimately Fluoropolymers work by changing the the make up of the stone. So essentially I see them as a type of vitrification product. There also seems to be some confusion as some say they are Breathable and others disagree.  Have you tried them? If so What brands?

Yes Kevin,
I bought some Aqua-Mix Enrich & Seal from you    Great on Limestone, but not used it on Sandstone, as I usually use Lithofin

I had forgotten.  I wouldn't mind your opinion some time on them side by side on some sandstone.  But to make it fair it would need to be the Stainstop +

I have been using them mainly on sandstone and to help repel chewinggum/staining etc. As far i as i am aware they do not really  come under the classification of "vitrification" (as i under stand it).
To me the main attraction is the  breathability.... hence there application on the likes of Indian sandstone etc ...it's all about ease of application and longevity of the sealed surface ( before re-application).
In hindsight i suppose really we are working in two different areas of the stone restoration business. I am working with the cheapest variety/grade of imported stone,in less than idea conditions with contractors who do not full understand the parameters in which jobs can be successfully undertaken.
As far as "brands" go my mate makes these products up in his garden shed from stuff he gets sent from the italians.
Kevin would you care to test some against other products i could send you some ?

Kevin,

Not a problem, I do need to seal mine at some point this summer so will use both and let you know how they compare,
I had to do test pieces for a client with various brands on Limestone and the Aqua-Mix was by far the best. I did find on Limestone that Lithofin wasn't anywhere near as good.

[chris scott]

Roger would you like to compare the Fluoropolymer as well ?....i could send you some. It would be a good test against the generally accepted best products in the business...Lithofin and Aqua Mix. If you are applying it at your own home you could monitor it daily over the next 4/5 years.
