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
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Second coat where the product requires it
Before we price your block paving sealing job
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Walls, doors and planting to protect

Sealing in Swinton: 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 Swinton be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Swinton?

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.
