I have had a quote from a seemingly reputable stone masons to fix up an old circa 1890s cottage in the Yorkshire dales that's had a mixture of Portland cement repointing done and one wall that a neighbour has kindly painted in white masonry paint. They have said all the right stuff to me regarding repointing in lime and will conduct sampling to ensure they use the correct strength for the stone. But they have also said they will spray the finished stone with breathable microporous sealant. They have referenced Haloseal and Balzona for me to research. Is this recommended? It seems to be becoming a trend from my research online. Thanks for everything Peter, all your info has genuinely helped me along my old property journey!" Breathable Microporous Sealants... ?

However we don’t recommend using sealants due to the risk of them messing up your paving’s natural look. Smooth surfaces (honed) should only be sealed using either a Natural Look Sealer or an Enhancing Sealer. The best sealer for Sandstone is Aqua Mix® Sealer’s Choice® Gold – Rapid Cure however, we have a range of sealers to suit your requirements: Sealing Sandstone with a Natural Look Penetrating Sealer:The removal of any sealer will leave the pavement looking faded and dull so think carefully before removing any that has been applied Temperature needed to apply sandstone sealant Sponge Machines & Ancillaries We supply a range of indoor & outdoor sponge machines from Refina & Berta which are suitable for cleaning epoxy & cement grouts such as UltraScape Flowpoint from quarry tiles, external paving slabs, natural stone and granite setts. Our range of sponge machines protects the joints between paving slabs by avoiding washing away the cement, whilst the machine removes the need for individuals to wash away grout on their hands and knees. StoneCare4U, meanwhile, explains that the average coat should take place every three years. However, this is for natural stone paving in general. Universal Sealants advise us to expect ‘long lasting protection’ from their products. There will be wide variation in how long each type last but it is typically between 12 and 18 months. Apply more product approximately 40 minutes after the first application. You can apply the sealer more sparingly during this second consecutive application as the first application will already be taking effect.

Apply generous even coats with a long pile roller to the natural stone at a coverage rate of 4-5m2 per litre. Do not allow the product to pool or the final appearance may not be even in colour on the paving to be enhanced and sealed Please note: Natural stone varies in levels of porosity, therefore on more porous stone or uneven surfaces the coverage will be less and more product will be required. For less porous stone, such as slate and limestone use our EASYSeal Slate and Limestone sealer and enhancer. EASYSeal Sandstone Sealer & Enhancer is for more porous natural stone. After care cleaner is recommended after the application of Sandstone sealer as this cleaner is a mild alkaline cleaner that keeps the sealer protected. TIP, Do not apply after care cleaner until the sealer has been down for at least 48 hours.
