Planning a block paving sealing job in Donaghadee
In and around Donaghadee, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.

What you get with our sealing service
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
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Type of block and its age
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
