Patio Sealant

Hi All

Any recommendations on a decent but not expensive patio sealant.

I think were going for sandstone/limestone.

Builder has said I need 5 x 5L tubs at about £30 to cover a 30sqm fresh patio.

Ive looked online and I'm a bit mythed at it costing £150 to seal a patio.

Any recommendations?
Ive seen this on Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Everbuild-Path-Patio-Paving-Sealer/dp/B0012LEEYE

Many Thanks
Dan

I am also looking for some patio sealer. I have indian sandstone patio and would like one to give it the 'wet look', if anyone has any suggestions?

No I actually use this one.

It is solvent based and soaks in well, offers protection but doesn't change the look really. I use it in the front of the house where we have a tiled section.

That sounds like a good product, do you happen to know if it would be suitable for use on a table where food might potentially come into contact with the wood?

Resiblock is great but very expensive, there's a specific one for sandstone but from what I read isn't particularly special and won't last a winter.

Ok il have a read of reviews. All I want is the protection/sealed patio for a few years as I know that's all these products last
