What does a block paving sealing job involve?
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.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- How much joint sand is left
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Type of block and its age

Sealing in Devon: questions
How often should block paving in Devon 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.
