Planning a block paving sealing job in Ramsgate
Ramsgate is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.

What is included?
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.
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer

Sealing in Ramsgate: questions
Do you cover Broadstairs, Margate and Deal?
Yes. We cover Ramsgate and the places around it, including Broadstairs, Margate and Deal, and the rest of Kent.
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 Ramsgate 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.
