Block paving sealing in Radcliffe

Tired block paving in Radcliffe rarely needs replacing. A deep clean, fresh jointing sand and, if you want it, a sealer, make most drives look years younger.

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

What we look at first in Radcliffe

  • Type of block and its age
  • Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
  • Walls, doors and planting to protect
  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Sealing in Radcliffe: 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.

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.

How often should block paving in Radcliffe be cleaned?

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