Planning a block paving sealing job in Clydebank
Homes in Clydebank include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
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.
- 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
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer

Sealing in Clydebank: questions
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.
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.
How often should block paving in Clydebank be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
