Planning a block paving sealing job in Walkden
Walkden is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
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
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Second coat where the product requires it

- Walls, doors and planting to protect

Sealing in Walkden: questions
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.
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.
