Block paving sealing in Peterlee: what to expect
In and around Peterlee, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.

What you get with our sealing service
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.
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- 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
- Edges, walls and doors protected
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio

Sealing in Peterlee: questions
Do you cover Seaham, Hartlepool and Durham?
Yes. We cover Peterlee and the places around it, including Seaham, Hartlepool and Durham, and the rest of County Durham.
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.
How often should block paving in Peterlee be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
