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.

Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.

  • Edges, walls and doors protected
  • Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
  • Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
  • Drying time and a date when cars can return
  • Second coat where the product requires it

How we find the cause

  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
  • Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
  • Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
  • Type of block and its age

Sealing in Glasgow and Dunbartonshire: questions

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.
