We had black limestone laid in May this year. At first it looked great... It had 2 coats of Universeal Ultimate Stone enhancer/sealer but within a couple of weeks looked patchy. The contractor came back and added a 3rd coat. It is supposed to repel most things but everything that touches it seems to leave a mark. Spilt beer or pop will stain and plant pots leave a ring if left for a couple of days. The patio now looks pale grey with patches of white. It looks as if it's been there years not a couple of months.
our contractor went back to the supplier who is not interested. He says that all black limestone will fade over time ( this has been just over 2 months!) it seems as if the sealant has failed but again he will take no responsibility.
our contractor is very good and has a very good reputation but as this is the first black limestone he has out down he is also at a loss.
Any advice/help would be appreciated. He has suggested power washing the whole lot and using a different sealant such as Weiss FT PLUS but we are reluctant to try more expensive products if the same is going to happen. I'm beginning to wish we had left our decking down!!!
