Sealant for a patio

Sep 17, 2018 8 Replies

I've got a new patio, laid in sandstone. It so happens that the area I'd intended for the dustbins, compost bins, etc is also sandstone - it worked out cheaper for the guy to get 2 crates of stone and not something cheaper when he needed just over one for the nice bit.



It looks lovely.



I dare say when the compost has leaked onto it it won't look as nice...



SWMBO is nagging me to get some sealant on it - the whole patio, not just the bins bit. Suggestions? There are an enormous range of sealants...

There IS an enormous range of sealants...

Yes, but which ones don't?

There are tests, and you get to choose which results you like...

That should give enough time for decomposition to take place.

er, what have you put under the patio?

There's an old septic tank full of rubble under part of it, but mostly it's 100-year old domestic rubbish.

Can't comment on Halmyre's one though :)

Brilliant. I'll have a read. I may be some time...
