Planning a block paving sealing job in Basingstoke
Across Basingstoke, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.

What is included?
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.
- Second coat where the product requires it
- 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
