Block paving sealing in Failsworth: what to expect
In and around Failsworth, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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.
- 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
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer

Do you cover Droylsden, Ashton-under-Lyne and Oldham?
Yes. We cover Failsworth and the places around it, including Droylsden, Ashton-under-Lyne and Oldham, and the rest of Greater Manchester.
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.

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.
