Block paving sealing in Heston: what to expect
In Heston, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Many London streets have controlled parking and narrow frontages, so we measure the car space and the crossover before anything else.

What does a block paving sealing job involve?
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
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
How we find the cause
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

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