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.

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

How we work

Repair before replace

If your drive can be fixed or re-laid, we will say so.

Water planned first

Falls, channels and soakaways are designed before the pattern is chosen.

Honest timescales

We tell you how long the job takes and what can delay it, such as approvals and weather.

Edges set in concrete

Every edge restraint is bedded and haunched, so the paving cannot creep.

Sealing in Cirencester: 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.

How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Cirencester?

Guide price for Cirencester: £5–£15 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.

How often should block paving in Cirencester be cleaned?

Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.

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.
