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.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Second coat where the product requires it
How we find the cause
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
