Planning a block paving sealing job in Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.

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.
- 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
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Edges, walls and doors protected

Sealing in Rickmansworth: questions
How often should block paving in Rickmansworth be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
