What is included?
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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Fife?
Guide price for Fife: £5–£15 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
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.
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.
