thanks  ;)
whats amazing to me is the price difference? is that geographical?

£2 difference is £260
changing it from
£910 to £650.

are you both applying sealer by hand on edges/steps etc and then sprayer?
or straight sprayer?

Spray it all masking things off with a  sheet of stiff plastic. Don't know about the price difference but you have to charge £7 per sqm to make it pay. 2/3M per litre regardless of what says on the tin. 25 litre drum at approx £100 for acrylic.

I quote £9/m for acrylic, £12 for poly and tell them its a waste of money - better spent cleaning every other year. I roller it on

Sorry you have mistaken my post £5 was for the complete job  ;D

Only you know the cost set your own price, we have a £/m price but other factors effect it ...drainage, water supply, location blah blah
