anybody linked up with smartseal am thinking of driveway cleaning as add on buisiness they offer a training day not exspensive?
-
And have a website that looks just the same as another 100 or so other 'companys' in the country all showing exactly the same images of work done?
Be yourself, show your own work and lead by your own example.
damn Smartseal.
You don't need them to show you how to clean a driveway. You'd be wasting your money.
-
yeah i heard smart seal is poop anyway. create your own and not a franchise.
-
There have been a few of their websites popping around in South Wales. As Lee (Blastaway) said, they all use the same pics. Looks rubbish if you ask me.
I used to get some leads from Smartseal a couple of years ago, but they were all a waste of time. And their coatings are expensive!

i have used there sealants a few times this last year, i aggree they are quite expensive, advanced sealing soloutions are a little cheaper, where do you get yours from richy L?

sealing is on its arse anyway. they dont last and are expensive. cheaper to get cleaned and sanded every year. i would never buy a drive cleaning franchise. its a no hope. its hard enough on your own making money.

I used advanced sealing solutions too.
I've stopped sealing driveways now. It is too much hassle. And there are too many chance of comebacks.

Better to clean and re sand once a year and its too expensive and doesn't benefit you.
-
yeah i agree. they all look tacky and the same. ya need your own image. smartseal just want you to buy all their sealants they dont care if you make money or not. be your own brand :)

no its prob on the decline :'(
-
domestic size pressure washers are getting more powerful.
I also find a lot of people quite enjoy cleaning their own driveway.
They prefer to take 4/5 hours to clean it rather than get a pro in for 1 hour.
-
It's never on the decline, in my opinion.
There's always people who can't and won't do it their-selves.
Sealing is on its arse. Like already mentioned, it doesn't last and there can be comebacks when the joints don't hold up.
-
