Block paving sealing in Hinckley: what to expect
Hinckley is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.

What does a block paving sealing job involve?
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
- Second coat where the product requires it

- Edges, walls and doors protected
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect

Sealing in Hinckley: questions
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Hinckley?
Guide price for Hinckley: £5–£15 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
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.
Do you cover Wigston, Leicester and Coalville?
Yes. We cover Hinckley and the places around it, including Wigston, Leicester and Coalville, and the rest of Leicestershire.
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.
