Homes in Loughborough include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.

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.
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected

Sealing in Loughborough: questions
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 Coalville, Leicester and Oadby?
Yes. We cover Loughborough and the places around it, including Coalville, Leicester and Oadby, and the rest of Leicestershire.
How often should block paving in Loughborough be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
