Block paving sealing in Carnoustie: the local picture
Carnoustie is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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.
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
