Planning a block paving sealing job in Oadby
Oadby 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.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.

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