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.

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

  • Walls, doors and planting to protect
  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

Sealing in Droylsden: questions

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.

How often should block paving in Droylsden be cleaned?

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