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.
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Type of block and its age
- How much joint sand is left
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
