Block paving sealing in Vale of Leven: the local picture
In and around Vale of Leven, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
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.
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- 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
