Block paving sealing in Rutherglen: what to expect
Homes in Rutherglen include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
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 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
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Edges, walls and doors protected
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Sealing in Rutherglen: questions
Do you cover Bishopbriggs, Bearsden and Kirkintilloch?
Yes. We cover Rutherglen and the places around it, including Bishopbriggs, Bearsden and Kirkintilloch, and the rest of Glasgow and Dunbartonshire.
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.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Rutherglen?
Guide price for Rutherglen: £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.
