Block paving sealing in Royton

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

Planning a block paving sealing job in Royton

Royton is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.

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 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
  • Edges, walls and doors protected
  • Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
  • Second coat where the product requires it

How we find the cause

  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
  • Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
  • Type of block and its age
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
  • How much joint sand is left

Sealing in Royton: questions

Only once it is completely dry and re-sanded. Sealing damp paving traps moisture and can leave a white bloom.
