Block paving sealing in Hailsham: what to expect
Hailsham 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.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.

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.
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- 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
