What is included?
Sealing block paving means applying a clear liquid sealer to clean, dry paving. A good sealer soaks into the blocks and the jointing sand, binding the sand so it does not wash out, reducing staining and making the surface easier to keep clean. Some sealers also deepen the colour or leave a light sheen.
The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Edges, walls and doors protected
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
