Hi people just wondering if anybody has any feedback on this product ?

I was on a paving forum a few years back and this is what they said about Thompsons, not good.

One that got good reviews was Lithofin but it was so ridiculously expensive I didn't bother in the end.
If it's moss and algae type stuff you are trying to protect from then you could consider using Wet and Forget, or Spray and Walk Away once a year.

Take a look on the nccstreetscape website as there's a section on sealers etc providing fantastic information.
Great company too with fantastic products and very helpful.
Ps....They'll point you in the right direction.

Good call.
That paving forum were always mentioning NCC Streetscape.
Be aware though, decent products will cost far more than Thompsons, it was the reason I couldn't justify the cost.

Understand where you're coming from regards costs. However from my perspective I'd much prefer to put any monies that I'd have saved from not using an inferior product and put and save towards a much better well known purposely functioning product that will not only last but will not wreck the area that I was to do.
They certainly know there stuff on the brew cabin.
Regards nccstreetscape I've only used one product of theirs which was VDW 850 plus but they know their stuff and are very approachable and extremely helpful.
Edit - My logic is that if I spend £120 on a decent known to work product and didn't spend £40 on a inferior product (see scozzas post) then my mind tells me that I've spent £80.

I used to use Thompson's Waterseal to protect my garage years ago and it was brilliant. It was a thin solvent and soaked into the (fake!) brickwork and water used to pour off it like a ducks back. It used to stink though and I could imagine glue sniffers getting high on the stuff. I bought some about 5 years ago and the formulae has totally changed and it's absolute rubbish! Some jobsworth probably got involved and the glue sniffers have had to move to a different avenue of pleasure.

The majority of their products are all water based now in a bid to be environmentally friendly and as a result are pretty rhubarb in comparison to the solvent stuff

We used to use the old Thompson Waterseal to waterproof bivvies and all sorts.

Ronseal and Thompsons etc. are now brands owned by a massive American corporation called Sherwin Williams. Look at the shelves in BQ, packed with their products, Valspar paints etc. too, all their brands. The whole coating sector has changed and solvents will become a thing of the past as they all chase environmental targets and audiences. I used to work for them
