What Is Natural Stone Sealing?

Natural stone sealing is a protective treatment we apply to stone surfaces to prevent damage. At Patio Sealing, we use industry-approved sealants that penetrate the stone, forming a barrier against water, stains, and grime.

This process is crucial for maintaining the appearance and longevity of natural stone materials.

We begin by thoroughly cleaning the stone surface to remove any dirt, moss, or algae, ensuring the sealant adheres properly. We then select the appropriate sealant type, such as penetrating or topical, depending on the stone's porosity and location.

Common sealants used include silane/siloxane and acrylics, which offer effective protection while preserving the stone's natural look.

The sealed surface provides resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, which can lead to cracking and spalling in outdoor applications. Regular maintenance and reapplication every two to three years are recommended to ensure ongoing protection.

Whether it's a residential patio or a commercial building facade, our sealing process helps keep your natural stone investment looking its best. If you're ready to protect your surfaces, contact us today.

How Much Does Natural Stone Sealing Cost?

Natural stone sealing typically costs between £5 to £15 per m². Factors influencing the price include the type of stone, such as limestone, sandstone, or slate, and its current condition, whether it's newly installed or weathered over time.

Different sealants, from water-based to solvent-based, may also affect the cost due to their material properties and durability. Additionally, the ease of access to the stone surface, such as patios on different levels or enclosed areas, can impact labour costs.

We use professional-grade sealing equipment to ensure a precise application. Our team follows industry standards to enhance durability and appearance while protecting against staining and weathering.

What Types of Natural Stone Sealing Are Available?

We offer various types of natural stone sealing to meet your needs, ensuring the protection and enhancement of your patios, walkways, and other stone surfaces.

Impregnating Sealers: These penetrate deep into the stone, providing protection against moisture ingress and potential freeze-thaw damage. Ideal for marble and limestone, they maintain the stone's natural breathability.
Surface Sealers: By forming a protective barrier on the stone's surface, these sealers safeguard it from stains and dirt accumulation. They are particularly useful for high-traffic areas like stone driveways and include options like acrylic or polyurethane-based sealers.
Enhancing Sealers: Designed to enrich the stone's natural colours and patterns, enhancing sealers are often applied to granite, slate, and travertine to intensify their visual appeal while providing a degree of stain resistance.

Our natural stone sealing options are crafted to preserve and enhance the beauty of your stone surfaces. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
