As performance leaders in water-based technology, our products offer greater water resistance and are long lasting. Superior to solvent-based alternatives, they are quicker to apply, faster drying and easier to clean up.

Paving the way

If you’re laying a new patio or paving, sealing the surface on completion will help retain the colour of the slabs or stones for longer and most importantly, it can stop any moisture ingress from damaging the paving slab or stone, both in terms of appearance and structure.

When it comes to your next job, Thompson’s One Coat Patio & Block Paving Seal is ideal. Suitable for granite, limestone, sandstone, flag stones or block paving, it provides long-term protection

Driving up standards

If you’re looking to revive a customer’s tired looking driveway as part of a landscaping project or extension, Thompson’s Oil & Drive Cleaner and Quick Drying Drive Seal is the perfect combination. You can rely on Thompson’s powerful formulations to cut through stubborn stains and improve that all important kerb appeal.

Suitable for concrete, tarmac and stone driveways or garage floors, Thompson’s Oil & Drive Cleaner can be used neat to remove oil, grease, petrol and diesel stains, or diluted to use as a general driveway and path cleaner.

To treat tarmac that’s in a state of good repair, Thompson’s Quick Drying Drive Seal can be applied using a long pile roller. Black in colour, it brings driveways back to life and protects from oil stains. Once applied, it can be driven over in just four hours and is slip resistant.

Leak Proof

If winter has taken its toll on a customer’s felt, asphalt, slate or tile roof, Thompson’s 10 Year Roof Seal is ideal for achieving a long-lasting waterproof repair.

It benefits from a unique combination of acrylic polymers, fillers and pigment in an aqueous solution. Thompson’s 10 Year Roof Seal offers a number of advantages over traditional bitumen coatings. It can be applied directly onto damp surfaces and because it’s water-based it boasts faster drying and re-coat times and is low odour. It also remains flexible at much lower temperatures, flexing with the natural movement of the roof and resisting UV rays, so the colour won’t fade.
