Planning a block paving sealing job in Basildon
Basildon has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

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
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Type of block and its age
- How much joint sand is left
