Planning a block paving sealing job in Newtownards
In Newtownards, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.

For Newtownards, our guide is £5–£14 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £240–£710. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry

Sealing in Newtownards: questions
How often should block paving in Newtownards be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Can you seal my drive straight after cleaning?
Only once it is completely dry and re-sanded. Sealing damp paving traps moisture and can leave a white bloom.
Will cleaning damage my block paving?
Not when it is done with a rotary cleaner at medium pressure and the joints are re-sanded afterwards. High-pressure lances held close are what cause damage.
