Block paving sealing in Newry: the local picture
In Newry, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.

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