Block paving sealing in Chester: the local picture
Chester has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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.
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
