Planning a block paving sealing job in Newmarket
In and around Newmarket, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

What is included?
Sealing only works on paving that has been cleaned and re-sanded first and is completely dry, so it is usually part of a clean, re-sand and seal package. It is not permanent: most sealers need renewing every three to seven years as they wear in the wheel tracks, and new paving should be left for a few months before sealing so moisture and any white efflorescence can clear.
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
