Block paving sealing in Wick: what to expect
Wick is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.
Work in the Highlands is by arrangement: we confirm availability and any travel charge before a visit, and many jobs can be priced from photos first.

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.
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Second coat where the product requires it
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
