Planning a block paving sealing job in Kingswood
Homes in Kingswood include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.

What you get with our sealing service
Sealing only works on paving that has been cleaned and re-sanded first and is completely dry, so it is usually part of a clean, re-sand and seal package. It is not permanent: most sealers need renewing every three to seven years as they wear in the wheel tracks, and new paving should be left for a few months before sealing so moisture and any white efflorescence can clear.
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
How we find the cause
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- How much joint sand is left
- Type of block and its age

Sealing in Kingswood: questions
How often should block paving in Kingswood be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Mangotsfield, Yate and Stroud?
Yes. We cover Kingswood and the places around it, including Mangotsfield, Yate and Stroud, and the rest of Gloucestershire.
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.
