Block paving sealing in Saddleworth

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

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.

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

How we find the cause

  • Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Sealing in Saddleworth: questions

How often should block paving in Saddleworth be cleaned?

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

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.
