Planning a block paving sealing job in Newton Abbot

What does a block paving sealing job involve?
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.
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- How much joint sand is left
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Sealing in Newton Abbot: questions
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.
Do you cover Torquay, Paignton and Exmouth?
Yes. We cover Newton Abbot and the places around it, including Torquay, Paignton and Exmouth, and the rest of Devon.
How often should block paving in Newton Abbot be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
